Chapter 864
The light in the room was still on, but the two of them hadn’t moved at all.

Maja thought she would be tossing and turning all night, but sleepiness hit her out of nowhere, and she was out like a light in no time.
Downstairs, Jeff had already arrived.
The boss had ordered him to come and pick up some clothes, and he didn’t dare to dawdle. It was Maria who opened the door for him.
Having been by lan’s side for so long, Jeff was a pretty good assistant.
He threw a glance upstairs, catching no signs of movement, and then turned to Maria.
“Maria, did the boss and Miss Penny have another squabble?”
Why else would he be in such a rush for him to come over and pick up his clothes?

Maria thought for a moment. She hadn’t heard any ruckus either.
I’m not quite sure.”
“Maria, you should hit the sack. I’ll leave once I’m done packing the boss’s clothes.”
It was already late, and Maria, being up there in age, needed her–beauty–sleep. She simply nodded.

Jeff tiptoed upstairs, wondering if they had made any noise but the room was as quiet as a mouse.
He stood outside lan’s bedroom, ears perked up and listened for a while.
Silence reigned inside.
Jeff quickly put two and two together. Maybe the couple had made up, for now.
If he barged in right now, it would be all kinds of awkward!
So, he quickly slipped away like a ghost, pretending he was never there.
Thanks to his discretion, Maja and lan could sleep like logs till dawn.
When lan woke up, he instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight streaming in.
His other arm was heavy, numbed by Maja’s head resting on it.
He was just about to move when he looked down and saw Maja nestled in his arms, sleeping peacefully. Her eyelashes fluttered close, and she looked incredibly cute.
He froze, just staring at the ceiling, recalling how he’d fallen asleep while changing clothes the previous night due to exhaustion and lost consciousness afterward.
Waking up to such a joyful sight first thing in the morning filled his heart with sweetness, and he felt somewhat giddy.
He carefully turned to face her, staring at her face.
Ever since he found out that the night she spent with him was her first time, he felt guilty about what he had done.
She chose to leave him probably because she heard him talking about divorce.
She refused to go public afterward, perhaps thinking that he was into Carlene.
It turned out that throughout, he was the only one who had ever been with her.
Samuel, Shawn, and Beck were all history.
Only him, her ex–husband, was her true love!
Maja turned over in her sleep. The friction of the clothes made her realize someone was next to her.
She looked up to find his eyes filled with amusement.
She quickly sat up and relaxed a bit when she saw they were still dressed.
“lan, time to get up. I’ll drive you to the hospital.”
lan suddenly remembered the excuse he used to talk to her last night and realized she hadn’t forgotten even after waking up.
As he changed clothes, he heard her making a call to the company.
“I have some matters to handle this morning. Meetman has already started filming. Don’t buy trending topics for now. Let’s first sort out the issue of Shawn becoming Ford’s spokesperson. Once the contract is signed, give a heads–up on Twitter. This is Ford’s first time looking for a global

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
