Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1279

Nightfall.

Lately, due to Ian's relentless acquisition of other companies, everyone was on edge.

However, these last couple of days, Ian had suddenly put a halt to his actions, and the atmosphere relaxed slightly.

Everyone was left wondering. Where in the world had Ian gone?

Inside the villa.

It was already 1 am, and Maja, trying to fend off the persistent advances of a certain individual, tapped her fingertips on his palm.

"We'll get caught."

Patric was a man with sharp senses. Just because he hadn't found out last night didn't mean he wouldn't tonight. Besides, Maja had a hunch that Patric was hiding something.

Ian's lips were close to her ear.

"We won't. I'll be gentle."

He promised to be gentle, but ever since eleven o'clock, his actions were the opposite.

Maja bit down on his shoulder, causing him to hiss in pain.

Suddenly, the room's door was knocked on harshly. Patric was outside, asking.

"Maja, are you still awake?"

Maja's heart nearly leaped out of her chest. She quickly pushed Ian away, signaling for him to leave, but he didn't budge, instead pulling her closer into his embrace.

"Just don't say anything."

Sweat trickled down her forehead, and he tenderly wiped it away, planting a quick kiss before resuming his movements.

Maja was truly amazed by this man's audacity. Patric was right outside, yet he still had the nerve to continue.

Patric stood by the door, questioning the two onlookers.

"Did she take her medication tonight?"

They both nodded.

The medicine contained a sleeping aid, she should be asleep by now.

Satisfied, he decided not to disturb them further.

Inside the room, Ian had finally stopped, his forehead resting against hers as he took deep breaths.

"He said you're the leader, which means he won't harm you. As long as he doesn't harm you, I'm at ease. Maja, if he forces you to make an impossible decision in the future, choose to save yourself. Don't consider me, not even for a split second, okay?"

As long as Mr. K existed, she would inevitably face such a choice in the future.

Maja didn't respond, instead pushing him off her and turning her back to him in a huff.

Ian wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.

"All you need to do is stay alive. No matter where you are, I'll find you. And I won't die, Maja. As long as I know you love me."

At this point, he seemed a bit embarrassed, holding her even tighter.

"Just love me, and no matter where you are, I'll try my hardest to find you. No matter what hurtful things you say in the future, I'll comfort myself knowing you only said them because of Mr. K's existence. I won't take it to heart. I won't make the same mistake again, Maja. I'm truly changing."

He was indeed changing. If this had been earlier, he would've never returned after being humiliated by Maja in front of so many people.

This time, he infiltrated her place just on the off chance that she was in trouble.

Realizing this, Maja felt her heart ache even more.

How wonderful it would be if they could just live together in peace?
