Dear Ex-wife Marry Me (Maja and Ian) novel Chapter 1934

Maja felt a sharp pang in her forehead as she gently lifted Craig's tear-streaked face.

Craig looked remarkably like Ian and was currently in the throes of a sob session.

"There, there, be brave, no more crying."

"Ugh, wahhh, ugh."

Ian couldn't stand it any longer and reached out, grabbing Craig by the collar and hoisting him up.

"Ever seen a brave man cry?"

Dangling in the air, Craig felt a rush of embarrassment, "Dad, let me go, let go! Wahhh."

Ian carried him over to the couch and dumped him onto it.

Craig tumbled on the soft cushions, on the verge of tears once again.

Maja walked over, pretending to speak offhand, "Carol mentioned she's bringing Karen over today."

Carol and Felix Brown’s daughter, Karen, was a typical girl next door.

Craig instantly stopped crying, hastily wiping away his tears.

"Are they coming over for dinner?"

"Yes, and your Uncle Felix will join us too."

Craig's fingers traced circles on the couch, his face alight with anticipation.

Maja wasn't lying; they indeed had plans with Carol and her family for the evening.

Felix arrived early, making himself at home in the kitchen.

In recent years, any gathering was incomplete without him taking charge of the cooking.

Craig watched in awe as Felix hung up his sleek suit jacket and began prepping the vegetables.

"Uncle Felix, you're amazing."

Felix chuckled, giving Craig's cheek a playful pinch.

"What would you like for dinner tonight?"

"Whatever Karen wants, I'll have the same."

Rosemary Sanders, who was lurking outside, couldn't resist teasing as she leaned on the kitchen doorframe.
