Dear Ex-wife Marry Me (Maja and Ian) novel Chapter 1863

Over the past month, Maja had noticed that Ian had been sneaking out at night, claiming he was working overtime.

It was the same story tonight.

Frowning, Maja called Jeff to inquire about Ian's overtime hours.

There was a noticeable pause in Jeff's voice.

"Ma'am, the boss has been really buckling down lately, wrapping everything up during the day. There's been no need for any overtime at night."

A lump formed in Maja's throat. It wasn't that she was overly clingy with Ian, but for three consecutive nights, he had stayed out for a couple of hours each time, claiming work commitments. It was enough to set off alarm bells for her.

Now, with Jeff's confirmation, Maja's mind raced with the stories she'd read online.

The time when a wife is pregnant is often when husbands are most likely to stray.

Men who cheat during their partner's pregnancy are the lowest of the low.

Maja believed she knew Ian well enough to be sure he wouldn't do such a thing.

But why would he lie? It was all too suspicious.

She had Jeff track Ian's location, which turned out to be a coffee shop.

Not just any coffee shop, but a pricey, well-known one in Greenfield.

She immediately drove herself there.

This coffee shop was one of the rare ones with a membership policy, known for its discretion, which made it a hotspot for celebrities.

The private booths were especially secluded. Why would Ian meet someone here?

At the reception, Maja checked his spending history and sure enough, he'd been coming here for the last three nights.

Her heart raced. Despite her resolve to trust him, everything seemed far too dubious now.

Straining her ears, she then heard Felix's voice.

"What about the stroller?"

"I've narrowed it down to three brands. I'm having the factories investigated. Once I have the results, I'll let you know. And the embroiderer I sent you to, is she willing to make the baby shoes?"

"Yes, she agreed. I placed an order for 24 pairs, twelve for your family and twelve for mine. A different pair for each month, each embroidered with a famous flower from that month. But it's a long wait, at least six months, since it's all hand-stitched, and she's doing double-sided embroidery."

"It's great she agreed. A business partner of mine wanted her to embroider a cap, and she declined. Go talk to her again, see if she's willing to make caps for the kids."

"Sure thing. I'll pay her a visit myself shortly."

The two passed by the booth next to Maja's, completely unaware she was there.

Maja massaged her temples, torn between irritation and amusement.
