Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 1684

Pregnant and confined to the quietude of her home, Maja dared not inquire about the whereabouts of her husband, Ian. Yet, while she nursed her solitude, he was out gallivanting with other women, even neglecting to return to their shared abode in Greenfield Gardens.

A surge of fury bolted through Maja from the soles of her feet, clouding her judgment with a haze of blind rage.

She stormed up to them just as Ian shoved Queena aside. Maja's hand flew, striking him with a resounding slap.

"Smack!"

There she stood, her chest heaving tumultuously, her eyes catching Queena imploring, "Ian, can we just leave together, please?"

The slap almost sent Ian, still recovering from a recent illness, into unconsciousness.

Upon recognizing Maja, panic flared in his eyes. "Maja?"

Words swirled in her mind, a tempest of accusations and pain, but faced with the stark reality before her, what could she possibly say?

She had imagined the missing man was faithful, but here he was, keeping another woman. Seeing was believing, after all.

Taking a deep breath, Maja turned on her heel and walked away.

Ian staggered after her, "Maja!"

"Maja, it's not what you think!"

But Queena clung to his arm, desperate. "Ian, come with me. I can heal you, really, I can make you better."

Her sanity was frayed, her single-minded goal to win him over.

Ian's expression darkened, his face ashen. With a swift motion, he knocked Queena unconscious.

Ignoring the two dozen shopping bags in his hands, he pursued Maja with long strides. As he ran, he even called Beck on the phone, instructing him to take Queena away.

"Can't you keep an eye on one single woman, Beck? Are you useless?"

Beck, upon hearing this, was reminded of a similar reprimand when Maja had secretly visited Cania.

Disconnecting the call, Ian felt a wave of dizziness, especially when the scent of Queena lingered on him, an itch so unbearable it threatened to drive him mad.
