Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 286

Have they inked the deal yet?

Are they going to split up?

Before Carlene could even lay down her terms, Ian went ahead and offered to break it off with his wife.

Carlene felt like she was swimming in sweetness.

Her hand started shaking. If Ian was going to divorce, the one most likely to become Mrs. Raymond would be her, right?

"How long will it take for you guys to divorce?"

Ian stared ahead, his voice flat, "Half a year at most; my grandpa hasn't been doing so well lately."

Carlene's cheeks flushed, and she tried to calm herself by petting the cat.

But when the car stopped at the Shepard family's doorstep, she couldn't help but look back at him.

"Alright, half a year it is, Ian. You're right; even though we're not back together yet, I'll make sure you know I'm the one who's cut out to be your wife. I won't force you, and I won't see that woman again. I'm sure we had our problems too. I'll figure them out and fix them. If one day you agree to get back with me, then we'll tie the knot, deal?"

Her heart was racing as she finished her words; she was extremely excited.

Ian, however, just stared ahead calmly.

"We'll see when we get back together."

"Ian, I'm sorry. I was too willful before. I shouldn't have stayed abroad to study painting, and I shouldn't have rejected your offer to get back together. From now on, I'll actively pursue you, and I hope we can get back to how we used to be."

With that, she exited the car, looking at him through the window with eyes full of tenderness.

Ian glanced at her, then gently said, "You should get in; it's cold outside."

Carlene's heart became even sweeter and she kept looking back at him as she walked away.

Ian sat in the car, feeling somewhat unwell.

He didn't linger and managed to drive back to Rosewood Manor.

It was closer to Rosewood Manor than the hotel, and once parked, he rolled up his sleeve and saw the rash on his arm.
