Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 468

Samuel flashed a smile at Maja, his tone light.

"Just pullin' your leg; I'm more than happy to help."

Maja had a piece of steak shoved into her mouth, and then she sat down.

She started to chew slowly.

Samuel couldn't help but admire her, keeping her cool under the pressure from Ian.

Even Carlene, standing next to Ian, felt the heat. She called out nervously, "Ian?"

Ian's fingers stiffened for a moment, then relaxed.

So, this was the kind of woman she was.

Tyler was right; she could date him and others too.

He felt a sense of relief mixed with reluctance.

She didn't like him, or else she wouldn't have wanted to kiss Samuel.

He remembered the game of truth or dare they played before. From the start, it seemed she wanted to kiss Samuel too.

He said nothing and just gave her a cool look, then walked away.

Carlene didn't follow him immediately but shot Maja a dirty look and said, "You really have no self-respect, flirting with any man."

Then she hurried after Ian.

Looking at the food in front of her, Maja suddenly lost her appetite.

And Samuel, sitting across from her, was lightly swirling his glass of wine, his brows furrowed.

"Penny, you saw him coming, didn't you?"

Maja didn't respond.

Samuel pointed to a spoon nearby. The spoon reflected the people in the distance. She must have seen.

So she really wanted to kiss him.

Was she trying to see Ian's reaction?

"If I hadn't stopped you just now, would you have actually kissed me?"

"Maybe?"

Samuel fell silent. He regretted stopping her. He should have kissed her in front of Ian.

But he clearly missed the perfect opportunity.

He downed the rest of his wine in one gulp.

Maja gave him a guilty glance and said, "I'm sorry."

Samuel gave a bitter smile.

He really felt bitter.

When did he become someone's tool to test a man?

"I'll help you, but you owe me two paintings when this is over. Fair deal, right?"

"Not at all, Mr. Brown; thank you."

"Don't jump the gun; when I say paint, you paint, and I choose the location."

Then he saw Maja coming out alone, about to get into a car.

He sneered and sent her a message.

"Come here."

To let her know his location, he honked the car horn twice.

The place he parked was dimly lit, but the flashing car lights were very noticeable.

Maja saw it, and she hesitated for a minute before slowly walking over.

She saw him standing by the car, so majestic; his straight nose made people keep their distance, and even his slightly upturned, thin lips appeared cold.

But his collar button was undone, revealing his collarbone, and his cold demeanor also had a touch of casualness.

"Mr. Raymond."

She obediently called out.

At this moment, Ian realized that she wasn't as obedient as she appeared. The thorns on her were soft.

Normally, if he didn't provoke her, those thorns would hide.

But if she was uncomfortable, those thorns would become sharp and stand up.

Like now, when she looked at him, her demeanor held a hint of coldness.

Like the past few nights, they left no trace in her heart.

Maybe even Samuel was more important to her than her own husband in her heart.
