Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 452

At Maja's place, the tornado kept on going and showed no sign of stopping.

She took a breather on a chair and started feeling wiped out.

Ian checked her knee injury; it seemed okay. "We got to crash here tonight, 'cause there was a landslide on the road we came from; we can't go back for now. We’ve got to wait till the wind stops and the road crew in town fixes it, then we can hit the road."

A huge boulder was blocking the road; it was impossible to move it single-handedly.

Maja was a bit confused. How did Ian know about the landslide?

But she didn't ask.

Every time they fell silent, the vibe felt a bit weird, especially in this crappy weather. Living together in this house was like a refuge.

Ian, a neat freak, wasn't feeling comfy with dust on his clothes.

In just a minute, Maja saw him frown a few times.

She headed straight to the bathroom, thankful that despite its small size, the hot water was running fine.

"Mr. Raymond, you go get a shower first; I'll wash your clothes in the sink. I saw a hair dryer in the bathroom; you should be able to dry your shirt quickly."

Ian didn't say anything, but he did see the hair dryer.

So he stripped off his suit and started undoing his shirt buttons.

As he undid each button, Maja got a glimpse of his muscular body; she couldn't help but sneak a few more peeks until he tossed his clothes overhead, his voice laced with a hint of amusement.

"Quit drooling."

Then he stepped into the bathroom, passing his pants to her on the way.

Seeing his boxers, Maja's cheeks turned bright red. She quickly went to the sink and gave the clothes and pants a good wash.

Seeing Ian not coming out of the bathroom, she guessed that he was probably rinsing off the sand on his body.

She glanced at the bed.

They had to spend the night here and wondered if Ian could sleep; given his neat freak tendencies, he might rather stay up all night.

She remembered that Ian drove his own car here; there might be things like small blankets in his car.

But the wind outside was strong; who knew when it might flip the car over?

Bracing herself, Maja opened the door.

The moment she opened the door, she felt like she was almost sucked out.

Holding Ian's car keys tightly, she staggered towards the car.
