Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 46

Dana was so startled by the statement that she nearly choked on her own breath.

Her lips were trembling, but she couldn't manage to utter a complete sentence. She shot a pleading look at Ian.

The man was super chill, his thumb absentmindedly rubbing the surface of his cards. It was his turn to speak, and he casually tossed some chips into the middle of the table.

He bet twenty million.

This unexpected move drew all eyes to him and indirectly saved Dana.

Dana heaved a sigh of relief, her heart pounding. Noticing that no one was paying her any attention, she risked shooting Maja a nasty look.

Maja's eyebrows twitched slightly, pretending not to see. Her fingers rested on the two cards in front of her, appearing completely engrossed in the game.

Starting with Ian's bet of twenty million, according to the rules, subsequent bets could only be equal to or greater than this amount.

The pot was close to two hundred million.

The dealer looked a bit excited. After the round ended, he finally revealed the three community cards.

Ace of hearts, ten of hearts, and five of diamonds.

The player to Maja's right had folded. It was her turn to speak.

She leaned back in her chair, not looking at anyone. She picked up forty million worth of chips in front of her and doubled the bet.

"Forty million."

The person who had only dared to lose one million at the beginning was now taking the initiative to raise it to forty million.

Maja noticed that even Ian looked up, his gaze lingering on her for a moment.

But it was just a moment. He then casually averted his gaze.

Everyone couldn’t help wondering what cards she was holding.

Kurt had a strong hand.

He glanced at Maja and sneered.

“Do you even know how to play cards?”

“What do you think?”

Maja blinked; her voice was lilting, with a hint of mischief in her eyes. "I'm not planning on giving away my money. It might be chump change to you guys, but for me, I'd have to work a lifetime to earn this much."

After all, it was forty million.

Kurt's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of caution grew in his heart.

This woman, who was initially hesitant to bet one million was now confidently wagering forty million. What the hell was she holding?

But when he thought of the cards in his hand, he didn't hesitate to call the forty million.

It was Ian's turn, his handsome hand nonchalantly pushing the chips.
