Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1179

Ian came to his senses and deepened the kiss, his hand cradling the back of her head.

The dimly lit lounge was filled only with the sound of running water.

After a while, he reluctantly let her go, slowly rising from the couch, "What time is it?"

"Just about ten."

No sooner had she spoken, his cell phone rang. It was a call from Steve, probably about to start persuading him.

He watched the screen flicker without answering the call.

Maja saw the name and felt a sudden twinge in her heart.

"Has Mr. Raymond returned from his travels?"

She recalled Ryan saying that it was generally impossible to reach Steve unless he initiated contact.

Apparently, Eric's return had prompted Steve’s return as well.

"Yeah."

Maja wanted to ask more but was quickly pushed back onto the couch by Ian, his voice husky and low.

"I want you."

Maja tried to push him away, but he was skilled in igniting her desires. She melted under his touch in an instant.

In the end, she didn't question why Steve had called.

Ian didn't prolong their passionate doings. They did it for only two hours and it was intense and quick. Maja was left breathless the entire time, completely under his control.

When it was over, she began to dress, pointing at the computer outside.

"I have to work late tonight. You should head home."

Ian sat on the couch, his hand resting on the edge, watching her dress, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"Not enough."

Ian placed a soft kiss on her forehead, a peck on her lips, and then he left.

But as soon as he arrived at the Star Movie Group building, he saw a black car waiting for him, probably for a while.

As he approached, the car door opened, and Steve was sitting inside.

"Ian, we need to talk."

Ian got in. As he saw the scenery moving backward, he lit a cigarette and cracked the window open.

Steve took a while before he sighed, "The higher-ups want me to talk to you."

Ian laughed as soon as he finished speaking, "Dad, I know people are selfish by nature, but did they ever consider me or Maja when making their decisions? She's a person, not an object."

A look of discomfort crossed Steve's face. Over the years, he had never been good at communicating with his son.

The atmosphere in the car became stifling.
