Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 110

Worried about offending Ian, she turned slightly as she sneezed, her shoulders shaking. Her face looked paler from being drenched in the rain, her wet hair obediently sticking to her cheeks, her eyelashes heavy with droplets of water.

Her clothes were thin and clung to her, outlining her elegant figure.

Maja rubbed her burning eyes and seeing Ian's car still there, politely asked, "Mr. Raymond, still burning the midnight oil?"

Ian was indeed working overtime. There was a party at his family's mansion the next night which he had to attend, so the meeting had been brought forward and had just ended.

He had assumed that Maja would ask for a lift, considering it was hard to get a cab at this intersection and she had neither a bag nor a phone on her.

But his car had been parked there for two minutes, and the cars behind were honking. He hadn't said anything, and Maja just smiled at him, politely and courteously, like treating an important client.

Ian was somewhat annoyed, but he didn't know why.

"Where do you live?" he asked, his tone cold, his profile exuding a chilly air.

Maja needed to get some documents from the Pennyfeather family, but if she went there, Ian would definitely find out about her identity in advance.

Plus, she was soaked through, getting in the car would only dirty it.

"I live nearby."

A hint of complexity flashed in Ian's eyes. This was the first time he'd offered to take a woman home, only to be gently refused.

Was she really as calm as Tyler said, or what?

He opened the car door, and Maja was a bit surprised, thinking he was inviting her in. Just as she was about to make an excuse to refuse again, a handle popped out from the car door, a silver one.

"It's an umbrella, take it."

It wasn't until Maja heard his words that she reacted and quickly took the umbrella.

"Thank you, Mr. Raymond, I'll return it to you when I get the chance."

Only then did Ian realize that since they met, she had been addressing him as "Mr. Raymond". Polite and distant. The car door closed automatically, and he said nothing.
