Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 249

Ian had just hopped in the car when his phone started buzzing - it was a call from Carlene.

"Ian, I've been waiting here for twenty minutes, where are you?"

Ian glanced at his wristwatch, "Just got out of a meeting. I'll be there in twenty."

"Always so buried in your work, how could you leave me standing here?"

"Find somewhere to sit."

Carlene went quiet for a moment, her eyes welling up.

"Ian, you've changed so much. You weren't like this."

Ian rubbed his temples, his tone flat, "I'm heading your way now, already booked a table for us."

Carlene's face brightened up a bit, "Okay, I'll wait."

After hanging up, Ian zoned out in his seat.

Jeff, in the front, stole a glance at him through the rear-view mirror. He kept his hands on the wheel, saying nothing.

Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up at the airport.

Carlene had been waiting outside. Seeing Ian's car, her face lit up. She hurried over and flung the car door open.

"Ian!"

She whispered his name and hugged him tightly, "I've missed you so much."

Ian stiffened, not responding.

Carlene held on for a moment, then smiled, "Let's go eat. Jeff, step on it, I'm starving."

She let him go and took a seat.

Ian reached out and stowed her suitcase by his feet. She had brought a tiny suitcase, no need to put it in the trunk. Carlene felt a warmth spread in her chest seeing him do this. With his undeniably attractive looks and current demeanor, Ian seemed particularly charming.

Carlene blushed a bit, smiling.

"I'm sorry for saying you've changed, you haven't. You're still so good to me."

Ian didn't respond, he leaned back after putting the suitcase away.

"How's life abroad?"

"You never called. If I hadn't reached out, were you planning on never contacting me?"
