Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 233

Maja was a bit puzzled. She hadn't done anything to piss him off.

When she stepped into the car, she saw Ian going through some documents. The suit he was wearing wasn't the one from yesterday. This time, it was grey, and it still looked perfect on him. The man was a born model.

The sun was slanting onto his face, giving him a sort of noble and unapproachable vibe.

Maja settled herself in the car and shut the door.

Fannie's voice came from outside, and before long, Fannie, with a bag slung over her shoulder, squeezed into the car as well.

"Ian, I need to go to school too, and you're heading that way, so might as well give me a lift."

Ian looked up, slightly lifting his chin, his tone icy, "I'm going to be in Crystalbrook Valley for a few more days, not going back to Greenfield today."

Fannie was already in the car, inching as close as she could to him.

"That's okay, I can hang out in Crystalbrook Valley."

Her goal was obviously more than just hitching a ride.

Maja watched the two of them squeezed together, thinking about her own status, and found it somewhat amusing.

But she didn't interfere, just turned to gaze out the window.

The car started moving.

On the ride, Fannie kept yakking. Seeing Ian was busy with his documents, she didn't bother him and instead turned to chat with Maja.

"You really got hitched, huh? Aren't you worried your hubby will get jealous with you sharing a car with other men?"

Didn't she come here in Ian's car too?

"My husband doesn't mind about my work."

"No man wouldn't mind, unless he doesn't care about you that much."

After saying this, Fannie turned to look at Ian, her eyes full of admiration.

"And being close to a man like Ian, your husband should be on guard, right? How come he doesn't even call you?"

Now Fannie was genuinely curious. Knowing this woman was married, her hostility towards Maja faded.

After all, a man like Ian wouldn't fall for a married woman.

Maja smiled and said, "A good marriage should give each other some space, right? Keeping a sense of mystery is also important."

Ian looked up at her and simply said, "Okay."

His attitude was obviously cold.

Maja guessed that maybe he regretted the intimate moment from last night and wanted to put some distance between them.

But she really wanted to tell him that he overthought it.

It was just a kiss.

But she didn't say it. Then she saw Fannie getting out of the car too, hooking her arm into Ian's like a pro.

"If you're staying here, I'll stay here tonight too."

Ian's eyebrows crinkled slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Fannie looked up, clearly hoping Maja would leave soon.

"If you're leaving, have a good day. Bye, Penny."

She clung to Ian's arm with a sweet smile, unable to hide her happiness.
