Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 276

Maja had no clue about the look on her face; her eyes were welling up because her design was being questioned.

As a designer, this was worse than being criticized in person.

She wasn't smiling; her eyes glistened and flickered twice.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I heard Ms. Shepard calling you. I know you guys have a date tonight."

Ian just sat there quietly, watching her.

"Don't your folks mind that you're still living in a hotel after getting married?"

Maja was a bit taken aback by his sudden change of topic, but she answered truthfully anyway.

"My family has some stuff going on, and it's closer to the hospital from here."

"Why are you staying on my floor?"

He hadn't used his key card yet; he just stood there, looking at her.

He looked casual, but his gaze was sharp as a knife, ss if he was trying to see right through her.

"There was a mix-up with my room reservation, and the hotel upgraded me to the presidential suite as compensation." Maja said with a sincere smile on her face.

"The service at the Raymond Group's hotels is really top-notch."

As soon as she finished speaking, she could feel a chill in the air.

Ian's casual demeanor was gone; his gaze was deep.

"Is that the only reason?"

For a moment, Maja wasn't sure what kind of answer he sought. Wasn't it good to praise the Raymond Group?

She was confused and laughed awkwardly, "Mr. Raymond, I'm not sure what you're getting at."

Ian chuckled lightly, feeling a slight constriction in his chest.

For the first time, he felt a bit of anger. And it was this woman who had provoked it.

He took his eyes off her and unlocked the door with his key card.
