Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

She had a pretty good idea why lan was sneaking around to see Felix-it was all because of Carol's cold shoulder towards Felix. lan was just being considerate of her feelings, but his cautiousness was so over the top that it was almost comical.

With a wry smile and a sigh, she realized it was high time for a heart-to-heart with lan. There was no need for cloak and dagger meetings. The soon-to-be dads should be openly discussing their future parenting plans.

She took a different route home.

Arriving ten minutes after lan, she barely stepped through the door when he began his interrogation.

"At this hour, you went out alone? Do you have any idea how dangerous that is?"

Maja's heart softened at the memory of his conversation with Felix. She wanted to say something heartfelt, but the words just wouldn't come. Instead, she simply opened her arms and hugged him. lan, taken aback by this sudden display of affection, nervously asked, "Is it the baby? Are you not feeling well?"

The due date was fast approaching, and his concern for her was palpable. Lately, Maja had been waking up in the middle of the night, and lan had been too anxious to sleep deeply.

"It's not about the baby, lan. I just feel... I'm so lucky to have met you."

It wasn't like Maja to be sentimental. Even after they got together and had a child on the way, she rarely spoke such tender words.

lan pecked her on the lips. "No, I'm the lucky one, Maja. There's something I've been meaning to say for a long time. I'm sorry. If I'd known then how much I'd love you now, I wouldn't have run away when we got married."

Back then, when the marriage was arranged, and he was ordered to make it official, he practically fled overnight, causing them to miss out on three years together.

Maja chuckled at the thought. A little sentimentality was fine, but too much, and she felt out of her element.

Yawning, lan quickly changed the subject. "Let's go upstairs and rest. Aren't your feet sore? How about I rub them for you?"

Pregnancy had indeed taken its toll on her feet.

"Mmm."

She rubbed her sleepy eyes.

yesterday. She said Felix has been obsessing over his looks lately."

He'd change suits several times a day, each time taking an hour, and he'd even hired a personal stylist. With Felix's good looks, he could make a burlap sack appear dashing. Now with the extra effort, he was downright irresistible.

lan squinted his eyes, well aware of Felix's antics, having recommended the stylist himself. He had tried to remind Felix of the old saying "Beauty serves at pleasure, and

when it fades, so does love."

But Felix had seriously replied, "Carol's favorite thing about me is my face. Until she's fully committed to keeping the baby, I need to win her over with it."

lan had smirked at the time, both critical and supportive, as he put Felix in touch with the best stylist available.

With Felix looking confident and dashing these past few days, it looked like his charm offensive was working-Carol was indeed falling for it.

Maja's voice continued, "Was it you who found him the stylist? I remember you know them, right?"

He tensed, thinking she was about to call him out. But then she shifted gears.

"It's good, really. As long as he's willing to put in the effort with Carol, we can let bygones be bygones."

Why keep stirring the pot at this point?

Besides, Carol was already halfway to caving in, and full capitulation seemed inevitable. There was no need to create more obstacles between them.

lan breathed a sigh of relief and confessed, "Yes, it was me. He said he wanted to make Carol happy."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

"At least he has some conscience," she replied.
