Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 1026

Tyler was baffled, wondering what sort of magic Maja possessed that had Ian so smitten. Even in the face of damning evidence, he was still defending her.

And, he noticed, if he kept badmouthing Maja, he'd probably lose his brotherhood with Ian.

So, he had to let it go, chuckling as he put down his wine glass.

"Who knew you were such a fool for love?"

Ian ignored him. Now that he was with Maja, he was literally exuding a pink aura.

Tyler, a confirmed bachelor allergic to romance, pushed him away in distaste.

"Back off, mate. The stench of love is revolting."

Ian chuckled, the thought of Maja sweetening his every word.

"You're just jealous."

"Jealous that you're now on a leash? Or that your assets will be divided in half? I, Tyler, would rather die than fall in love. Casual flings are the best, mutual benefits, no obligations."

Tyler poured himself another drink, sneering at Ian.

"And who knows if you can make it till the end? If you were meant to be, there wouldn't have been a divorce in the first place. Technically, she tricked you into it. Would you still have signed the papers if you knew she was your wife?"

This jab hit close to home, leaving Ian silent.

Aware that he'd hit a nerve, Tyler quickly changed the subject.

"Anyway, let's drop it. Kudos to you for finding a woman you'd want to keep, unlike me, who gets bored after the third time."

His tone was louder than he'd intended, and many around them heard. Some were envious, others flipped him off.

Wasn't this the dream of most men? Sleep with a beauty, no strings attached?

Most men just didn't dare to admit it.

Was Tyler bragging?

He poured himself another drink, a smirk curling his lips.

"Honestly, the woman who can tie me down probably hasn't been born yet."

His words had barely left his lips when his phone rang, causing his eyebrows to knit together. He answered the call.

What a farce.

Ian lit a cigarette, a smile playing on his lips.

"Well, it was your dad who caused all this. I only informed you to prevent you from losing your fortune. You should be thanking me."

Samuel came closer, and his usually jovial face was now devoid of any smile.

"I should thank you. If it weren't for someone advising that woman behind the scenes, I could've returned earlier."

"Would it have made a difference if you came back earlier? Maja has a strong sense of integrity in relationships, and you've slept with numerous women. Do you think she'd want you?"

Samuel's clenched fists trembled at his sides. In the end, he didn't say anything else and just walked into the VIP room.

Ian didn't need to do anything himself for this scheme to work. A simple phone call to order someone else to do it was enough.

He flicked the ash off his cigarette, his eyes heavy with worry.

Samuel was serious.

He suddenly felt anxious. They'd only been together for a few days, yet he felt threatened.
