Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 280

Tyler grabbed the files and yelled into the room.

"I'm heading out now; don't worry, I won't spill the beans about what happened tonight, not even to Carlene."

He shut the door and silence returned to the room.

Ian was standing by the window of the master bedroom, quietly taking in the view outside.

He was looking at a vibrant cityscape, and the view from this window was nothing short of spectacular.

But he only glanced at it, then turned his gaze to his fingertips.

His fingertips were warm and fragrant, as if all the sensations were lingering there, seeping into his skin and consuming him.

Tyler was right.

He was still hurting.

He didn't even understand why.

She was just a woman; why did he lose control and pull her back when he saw her eyes wide with fear like a deer in headlights?

In that moment, he even had an impulse to kiss her and consume her.

Was it because he had been suppressing himself for too long?

He had never had such thoughts before; he didn't even masturbate.

Had he been repressing himself for too long?

He furrowed his brow, and then his phone rang. It was Carlene.

"Ian, are you done with your meeting? I’ve got some fruit for you. I heard you have an overseas meeting and might be a busy night."

Carlene's voice was soft.

She had already instructed the nanny to prepare everything. Tyler had texted her earlier, saying Ian might need a woman now.

Carlene always acted reserved around Ian; she felt that she was not like his other admirers.

She was the only girlfriend Ian had ever openly acknowledged, so she couldn't rush things; she needed a perfect excuse.

If Tyler said so, then Ian must really need a woman right now.

Carlene blushed and urged her nanny to hurry up while speaking softly to Ian.

"I'm on my way; don't turn me down, okay? It's been a while since we had a good chat."
