Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 2092

No sooner had she hung up with Dave than she heard a noise outside.

Continuing her chat, she wandered over to open the door.

And there, like a scene straight out of a movie, stood Beck, a cigarette dangling from his lips, its smoke weaving mysteries around him. What was he thinking?

Stella froze, words deserting her, baffled by his sudden appearance.

"Beck..."

She ended the call.

Beck extinguished his cigarette, his gaze making a slow tour of her.

Stella's back was slick with nervous sweat, wondering if he had caught that last bit of her conversation.

After what felt like an eternity, Beck finally turned to leave, "Maja wanted to see you. She's on the afternoon flight."

Stella's mouth opened and closed, still at a loss for words, but she followed him.

Arriving at Beck's mansion, Stella realized the guest was Maja, not one of Beck's girlfriends as she had feared.

Entering the living room, she saw Maja engrossed in a video game, an idle controller suggesting Beck had been playing too.

Maja stood up upon seeing Stella.

"Stella, we need to talk."

Instinctively, Stella glanced at Beck, but he was already engrossed in his game again.

Stella followed Maja to the garden, where a servant brought them desserts.

The atmosphere was pleasant, almost like they were old friends, yet Stella felt uneasy, not understanding why Maja wanted a private word.

Maja delicately spooned up her dessert.

Stella, appetite lost, was startled when a pair of scissors was pressed into her hand. Maja's voice broke the silence.

"You like flowers, don't you? I'm about to arrange some fresh cuts. See those vases? They're ready with water. Let's finish our desserts and then work on the flowers together?"

For Stella, who had never indulged in such a leisurely activity, this was a novel experience.

Taking the scissors, she was still puzzled about Maja's intentions.

But she wasn't in a hurry; she genuinely wanted to arrange flowers.
