Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1128

Ian stood in the elevator, watching the numbers slowly descend, and he couldn't quite get his bearings.

Snapping back to reality, he frantically began to press the buttons for the higher floors, but they remained unlit.

Upon reaching the ground floor, he found his behavior amusing and stepped out of the elevator, waiting for it to ascend again.

But it was headed to the basement.

The other elevator nearby remained stuck at the top floor.

After waiting for a full minute, he became impatient. He found the staircase nearby and started running up.

Eight floors later, his forehead was covered in sweat. He yanked at his tie, accidentally knocking off a few buttons without even noticing.

He looked up, scanning his surroundings, and spotted Maja not far away.

Maja was wiping away tears, a sight that made his heart feel as though it had been pierced by an arrow.

Before approaching her, he straightened out his suit. Making sure there were no wrinkles, he walked over.

"Maja," he called, standing behind her.

Maja thought she was hallucinating. Hadn't he left?

She quickly wiped her tears away and turned around, her bright eyes focused on his face.

Her eyes were clearly washed by tears, with her eyelashes slightly wet.

She had lost a lot of weight recently. It seemed that Eric was not treating her well.

That made sense. If he was treating her well, he would have allowed her to recover her health before getting pregnant.

"Maja, are there any other secrets you're keeping from me?"

If she was honest, he was willing to marry her, give her a respectable status, and even raise her child.

He had lowered his expectations again and again.

He once thought he only wanted a woman who was clean and loved him passionately. But he got tangled up with Maja, who was then a married woman.

Later, he thought she should at least like him. But Maja now did not like him, and she was carrying Eric's baby.

He just couldn't stand seeing her like this.

As long as she was honest.

He said it twice.

Each word was deliberate and serious.

Maja finally understood that it was over between them.

Her face turned pale, and tears began to fall.

She didn't want to cry because it was too embarrassing.

"Ian, what if I say I want to be with you?"

But Ian had already turned around, his tone light.

"Do I need to repeat it? I find you unclean. With my status, I should be able to find someone better."

Then he walked away without looking back.

His tone was light throughout, but it brought great humiliation to Maja.

She already despised herself for that night with Patric. Now that he had explicitly rejected her for being unclean, she suddenly felt herself despicable.
