Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 450

Ian pushed the pedal to the metal, not even having the time to ponder why he was feeling so anxious and even a bit scared.

The journey that usually took an hour, he managed to finish in just forty minutes. But he had barely covered any distance when he heard a noise behind him.

It turned out that a massive boulder had rolled down and blocked the road. The way back was interrupted.

Still, he didn't stop. He continued driving towards Riverfield.

Visibility was next to none on the road. He practically bulldozed his way through every obstacle until he reached the cottage. He spotted the car parked outside right away.

He quickly got out of the car and knocked on the door of the other car.

Maja was slumped over the steering wheel, clearly shaken.

She had been left alone in the car in the midst of a tornado, with the wind battering against the windows and growing louder by the minute.

"Penny!"

Ian knocked on the window again.

Maja heard someone calling her name faintly. She quickly turned around and saw Ian outside the window. She was so surprised, she could hardly believe her eyes. She hastily opened the car door.

But before she could even speak, a gush of wind filled her mouth with sand.

She was coughing nonstop.

Ian quickly pulled her out of the car, shut the car door, and unlocked the cottage door with the keys.

Once the heavy door was shut, the noise of the wind was completely blocked out.

Maja wasn't used to such situations, so she kept coughing; her face even got dirty. When she wiped her face with a tissue, it came off covered in dust.

Ian was no better.

Maja coughed for a minute and then suddenly remembered something. She quickly grabbed Ian's arm, checked him over, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw he was alright.

"Mr. Raymond, you're really playing with fire."

Ian frowned at her comment.

"Do you think I came from the villa?"

Maja did think so.

Ian lowered his gaze. "I was only a mile away from you."

Only then did Maja realize.

Then she said, "Still, it's too risky to go out in this kind of weather."

Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her, saying, "Oh, now you realize it's risky?"

Maja was silent for a while, then finally managed to say, "I was worried about you."
