Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 490

Ian spoke so earnestly that for a moment Tyler doubted, wondering if he was overthinking or if maybe Ian didn't really care about Maja.

"Alright, if it's just for fun, then don't drown your sorrows so much."

"I'm not."

Ian shot back, then glanced at Maja again.

She was sitting a bit far away; all he could see was her head bowed in concentration, as if the noise around her didn't concern her.

"She's not all that."

His heart ached again.

Tyler found it amusing; he turned his head, and a smile tugged at his lips. He composed himself and turned back around.

"Indeed, there are many more beautiful and talented women in Greenfield."

"Hmm." Ian was even more upset.

He put down his drink, leaned back, and looked away from her.

Maja was undisturbed throughout and only packed up her sketchpad when it was over.

Samuel leaned in; their heads were close.

"Finished?"

"Hmm."

Samuel glanced at the sketch, eyebrows raised in surprise.

He knew her drawing skills were good, but he didn't expect her drawings to be so exquisite.

It was lifelike, even adding a hint of charm to him.

"Nice drawing."

"As long as you're satisfied."

"Speaking of which, I've done you such a big favor, don't you think I'm getting the short end of the stick by only getting two drawings?"

Maja felt the same way, so she immediately promised, "As long as you need me to draw, I won't delay."

Samuel liked Maja's straightforwardness; he pulled her into his arms and said, "Okay, it's a deal; I'll take you home."
