Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 757

"This matter has nothing to do with you."

Ian found it a tad ironic. He'd seen men turn icy cold after scoring the girl they liked, but he never thought women could be just as callous.

They had been together countless times. He knew her body like the back of his hand. Aside from her ex-husband, he was probably the man who knew her best.

He even knew her every sensitive spot.

"When you were in bed with me, did you feel the same?"

His gaze was as cold as ice, like he was holding back a raging fury.

It felt like if she admitted it, he just might lay a hand on her.

Maja didn't know how to respond to that.

Ian took a step forward, standing before her.

"At Crystalbrook Valley, when you saw me and burst into tears, running into my arms, didn't you like me a bit then? When you were sobbing in bed, hadn't you started to like me?"

Maja took a step back. Under his interrogation, she became speechless.

Ian reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards a big tree.

There were no cameras behind the tree, just a dim streetlight.

Maja, terrified, swatted at his hand, "What the hell are you doing?"

As the words left her mouth, Ian pressed her against the tree trunk, pulling down her zipper.

"Ian!"

She was so furious that she called out his name.

But Ian pinned her hands above her head with one hand, his leg immobilizing hers.

Maja was suddenly unable to move, left watching Ian's actions.

His other hand unbuttoned her clothes, inspecting carefully from her neck to her navel. Seeing no new marks, he relaxed a bit.

Maja felt humiliated. If anyone walked past them at that moment, they'd see her completely exposed.

When Ian saw her trembling, he suddenly bent down and bit her.

Maja froze at the sensation. When she finally understood, she tried to push him away.

But her hands were immobilized, and she couldn't move.

Ian was tender with her left side, biting lightly before moving to the right.

Maja turned her head away, trying hard not to look at him.

Both were caught up in their emotions, saying things they shouldn't have, things they wouldn’t normally say to each other.

He regretted it after he said it, but he eventually didn't apologize.

Maja felt hurt by his words.

After a while, she whispered, "Just because I made a mistake once, does that mean I'm always wrong?"

She didn't wait for Ian's response, pushing him away in a fit of anger.

"So, I'm just that kind of woman in your eyes? Regardless of how you or the Raymonds treated me before, the moment you show the slightest affection, I should be so grateful and run back to you? I'm a human being. Do you guys even see me as one? I have my dignity. What have you done with it? You say you're just not tired of me yet, then you say you love me. You expect me to react to your casual declaration of love? Why should I! Ian, you have everything. What do I have?"

She quickly wiped away her tears. Seeing Jeff approach, she covered her face to hide her current state from others and prepared to leave.

Ian was left stunned by her barrage of questions. He couldn’t recall what the Raymonds had done to her.

"Penny, I."

He tried to grab her hand, but she dodged him as if avoiding the plague.

The sadness in his heart turned cold, "You'll come crawling back to me eventually."

Maja stopped, responding sarcastically, "Sure, after all, you're Mr. Raymond, the heir to the Raymond family."
