Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 305

Maja hadn’t brought any clothes, and she was completely soaked, with no dry clothes to change into.

She was pissed and tried to swim to the shore, but Samuel grabbed her waist and pulled her back.

"Penny, do you really think Carlene and Dana would let you go if I didn't bring you here? They just said a whole bunch of nasty stuff about you."

But they were talking about Ian's wife.

Maja stiffened up, narrowing her eyes at him.

"Even so, you didn't have actually to toss me in the water."

Samuel clearly had reasons for throwing her into the water – he wanted to see her drenched.

And obviously, it worked pretty well.

Samuel moved closer to her, whispering in her ear.

"Plus, Carlene probably doesn't know that you're Ian's wife, right? But she's already planning to mess with you because you're Ian's designer. If you play up some ambiguity with me now, it'll make her suspicious, and she'll back off. How about that?"

His breath fanning her ear makes Maja feel a bit uncomfortable.

"And, look up at the balcony."

Maja frowned, looking up.

Ian's holding a cigarette, lazily watching the scene.

Tyler and Fitch were standing next to him, and they seemed to have been there for quite a while.

The swimming pool was right under their balcony, so Ian could see everything from when Maja was thrown into the water.

But he had no idea what they were talking about.

All he saw was them getting chummy.

Maja was so angry that her face turned red. Was all this Samuel's plan?

Samuel moved closer to her on purpose again.

"Ian is upstairs too; seeing us so cozy, he probably suspects something's up between us. If he has feelings for you, they might fade now, and Carlene won't pay attention to you anymore. Two birds with one stone."

"Penny, you don’t tell Ian about your identity; isn’t it because you want to leave easily in the future?"

"So, should I thank you?"

Samuel chuckled, twirling her hair around his fingers.

"If that's how you see it, no problem. You just need to date me for a while after your divorce."

He just wanted to have her.

Maja was so angry that she was speechless. But Carlene and the others were already in the pool. Their swimsuits were very cleverly designed, with very little fabric.

Compared to them, Maja, in her everyday clothes, looked totally out of place.

Carlene stared at Maja, smirking.

And Dana, right next to her, can't help but laugh.
