Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

lan was pressed up against her back, one arm wrapped around her waist. The elevator was stuck on

some floor, and all they had to do was wait for rescue. He should let her go, but neither of them

moved.

Maja didn’t realize that their position could be misunderstood. After all, it was just two of them in there.

Being close to him made her feel safe, plus there was only one handrail on this side. She even wanted

to step back a bit to feel even safer.

Not until lan’s breath tickled her ear did she realize how close they were.

lan held Maja tightly in his arms. Maja instinctively wanted to step away, but lan was quicker.

“Hold still. Wait for help,” he said.

Maja lowered her head, adjusted her breathing, and stopped paying attention to their proximity.

lan had already hit the emergency button in the elevator. The building should’ve been notified by now.

Elevator accidents were rare. lan frowned slightly, feeling like every time he ran into ‘Maja, something

bad happened.

With her back against him, Maja’s nape was exposed uncontrollably. The human nape was naturally

vulnerable and sensitive. Ian’s breath on her skin felt like it was creeping into every pore, making her

numb from head to toe.

She tried to resist the feeling, but memories of that night flooded back.

lan was the same. But he rationalized it as the suspension bridge effect. The suspension bridge effect

suggested that when a person was crossing a suspension bridge, their heart would race out of fear. If

they happened to meet someone at that moment, they might mistake the increased heart rate as being

attracted to that person, thus developing feelings for them.

So, the flutter he felt when he held Maja in his arms as the elevator was falling could’ve been due to

this.

Thinking of this, lan loosened his grip a bit, and the distance between them slowly widened.

Maja let out a sigh of relief, politely thanking him, “Thank you, Mr. Raymond.

Then she straightened her back and listened carefully to the noise outside. Her phone rang again. It

was still Tricia. For some reason, she seemed particularly anxious tonight.

“I’m at the entrance of Arrow Heights. Where are you?”

Maja frowned. How did Tricia know she was at Arrow Heights tonight?

Tricia was indeed at the entrance of Arrow Heights, driving a luxury car that Neil had bought her. Neil

had told her not to drive herself and that he would arrange a driver. But whenever Tricia had free time,

she would track down that man and secretly follow him. She was willing to do anything as long as he

gave her one more glance.

When Maja didn’t show up, she couldn’t help but call again. Maja was still stuck in the elevator and was

very anxious, The elevator broke down. You don’t have to wait for me. You should leave first. Your

health isn’t in the best condition either.” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Tricia stared at the towering building, feeling a bit reluctant. Without an excuse to stay, she agreed

verbally.

“Okay, don’t worry. Dad’s fine. Mom’s taking care of him. It’s just a mood swing.

Maja knew very well about Neil’s health. The doctor had promised to keep it a secret from others. So,

apart from her, no one knew that Neil was in the late stages of liver cancer and only had a year to live.

Thinking about this made Maja feel very sad.

“When you have time, spend more time with Dad.”

Tricia parked the car in a secluded place, making sure it wouldn’t be noticed, and then agreed, “I

understand. I’ll leave first.”

After hanging up, Maja really wanted to ask lan what his assistant said that upset Neil. But what right

did she have to question lan? His assistant might have just told the truth.

The Pennyfeather family had abruptly broken off his engagement with Carlene. The fact that he didn’t

bankrupt them was already him doing a favor for Holden. As for her, his wife in name only, he must be

utterly disgusted.”
