Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 1808

By the time he arrived at the office, he kicked things off with a meeting.

The meeting dragged on for two hours, but by lunchtime, he was face-to-face with Nathan, who did a double-take when he saw him.

Felix seemed to be in high spirits today, a departure from his recent gloomy demeanor at work. Today, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Nathan clapped him on the shoulder.

"Hit the jackpot or something?"

"Nope."

"I bet it's got something to do with Listina. She posted on Facebook last night, mentioned you've been taking care of her. She's always been that way, ya know? Just a little bit of attention from you and she's over the moon."

The smile in Felix's eyes dimmed slightly, "She hurt her hand last night."

"Ah, I see. Doc says she's got depression, man. You better keep an eye on her. She only ever listens to you. Whenever I call her, she barely wants to chat. It's probably because you spoiled her too much back in the day."

Nathan's every mention of Listina seemed to drain Felix's mood further. Felix looked up, sensing something off about Nathan today as well, "Got yourself a love interest?"

Nathan stiffened, suddenly sheepish. He was too excited about his afternoon plans to go for a drive with Carol. He'd been looking forward to it so much that he couldn't hide his anticipation.

"Nope."

"Someone from work again?" Felix's tone was nonchalant as he lit up a cigarette.

Nathan felt even more uneasy but remembered Carol calling him a chicken for not having the guts.

He couldn’t fathom what he was thinking. Maybe it was because he always felt overshadowed by Felix, but today he mustered an unprecedented courage.

"Not exactly. Still chasing her. She's not sure if she wants to date me."

"How far have you gotten?"

"Just holding hands."

"Holding hands and not dating yet? Is she stringing you along?"

Felix knew Nathan too well, especially his way with women.
