Chapter 885
His gaze was sharp as a knife as if he wanted to slice her into pieces.
Maja clutched the sheets tightly in silence. Her nerves shot, swallowing hard.
lan stared at her, not uttering a word, feeling a surge of intense jealousy, as if his heart was being pierced by something sharp and pointed.
Just then, Jeff knocked on the door.
“Mr. Raymond, lunch is served.”
lan had specifically arranged for this, wanting her to have food as soon as she woke up.
He lowered his gaze, suppressing his emotions, and took the lunch box from Jeff.
Sensing the tension in the room, Jeff quickly took his leave..
As soon as the door closed, lan returned to the bedside, laying out the delicate dishes.
He stirred the porridge a few times with a spoon, made sure it wasn’t too hot, then scooped a spoonful and held it in front of her.
“Have some food first,” he said.
Even if he wanted to kill her, he had to ensure she was well–fed first.
Maja was exhausted and didn’t expect that she had been talking in her sleep. She racked her brain for an explanation but came up empty.
Then she thought no explanation was needed. If he could sleep with other women, why couldn’t she call out another man’s name in her dream?
That was a double standard.
And what was their relationship to begin with?
He should be thinking about how to please Ms. Darlene.
With that thought, she relaxed and opened her mouth.
lan wasn’t good at taking care of people, and feeding her was a clumsy effort.
Even the way he blew on the porridge to cool it was awkward.
He fed her spoonful by spoonful, half a bowl in total.
Maja eyed the delicate dishes on the side; her brows slightly furrowed.
“Can I have some of the dishes?” she asked.
lan realized that he had been feeding her porridge and had forgotten about the dishes.
He felt a bit embarrassed, but his embarrassment manifested as irritation.
“Why don’t you eat until you burst?” he said, his words sharp, but he gently fed her the dishes.
Maja ate bite by bite until she was full.
lan got up to clean up but accidentally broke a bowl, and shards scattered over the floor.
He quickly grabbed a broom to clean the shards.
But he moved too violently, and all the bowls on the cabinet fell and shattered.
His face darkened as he heard Maja laugh, and he felt incredibly embarrassed.
“What are you laughing at?” he asked.

Maja found it hilarious, but considering lan’s status, she understood. He probably hadn’t done household chores in his life.
“Nothing,” she said.
In the end, lan gave up and let the nurse clean the room.
He sat in front of the bed, waiting until they were alone in the room before he asked a question full of jealousy.
‘My grandfather said you had a crush on someone in college. Is that true?”
Maja knew he would dig until he got to the bottom of it.
She replied, “No.”
He asked, “Then who were you calling out just now?”
Actually, Maja’s sleep talk was very soft, like mumbling something, and lan couldn’t hear clearly what she said.
It sounded like a name.
Was it Patric?
“He’s Coco’s previous owner. I dreamed of Coco. Coco hasn’t been found yet, right? I dreamed it was questioning me, and I quickly explained to him that Coco is doing well now.”
Coco was still at Greenfield Gardens. Maja had intended to bring it back that night, but for some reason, she left it behind.
Therefore, her excuse was perfect, and she was just overly worried about Coco, which led her to dream about Coco’s former owner.
Jan breathed a sigh of relief, pushing down the jealousy in his heart. Thinking about the stubborn dog still at Greenfield Gardens, he realized he had been entirely unreasonable.

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....
