Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1170

Maja thought of the blister on his finger and quickly stood up.

"Do you still have the burn ointment I gave you?"

Ian opened a nearby drawer and took out the ointment.

Maja opened the tube, using the light from the bedside lamp, she took his hand and gently applied the ointment.

While she was rubbing the ointment, Ian watched her. From his perspective, he could see the back of her neck, her nightgown hanging low, revealing a large area of skin marked with traces of their earlier passion.

Now as she applied the ointment, her head was bowed. She was holding his finger carefully.

Ian leaned in closer, taking in her scent.

When she finished applying the ointment, Maja looked up at him.

"Are we in big trouble now?"

He nodded, his features still sharp. He cupped her face and gently pecked at her lips.

"Eric," Before she could finish, a jolt of pain shot through her lips.

Ian instantly pushed her down.

"Dylan's teamed up with him. He wants the Raymond Corporation, and he wants you."

Maja looked at him, her heart pounding, "And what about you?"

He slowly leaned in, gently kissing her neck, "I only want you."

He didn't want the Raymond Corporation.

At this moment, Maja felt a pang of self-hate for her helplessness, her eyes instantly welling up.

She slowly wrapped her arms around Ian's neck, burying her head in his chest.

Ian was momentarily taken aback, after a minute of silence he asked, "Are we back together now?"

Maja didn't say anything. He began to undress her.

"There's still time."

"No, um."

By the time they finished, it was six in the morning.

"Mr. Raymond, Eric seems quite determined this time."

"Hmm."

Ian lowered his eyelashes and instructed the kitchen staff to prepare a good meal for Maja.

Jeff sighed as he watched Ian, seemingly unconcerned about the Raymond Corporation.

On the other side, several higher-ups were sitting in front of Steve, their faces full of satisfaction.

"It's great that Eric is back. His request is simple, he just wants to live with Maja. Steve, you should talk to Ian about this when you get home."

"For the sake of the bigger picture, Eric has suffered a lot mentally over the years. Since he accepted the mission for Maja, she could indeed help him recover to some extent. Ian has a bad temper, so as his father, you should talk to him about this."

In front of Steve was a cup of tea. He lowered his eyelashes.

Everyone started discussing the mission from back in the day, as well as the research data.

They were completely oblivious to the fact that if Ian and Maja were already together, their actions would mean pushing Ian's girlfriend towards Eric.

No one seemed to care about whether Ian agreed or not. After all, he had served in the army and was expected to put the greater good above personal interests.
