Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 714

Maja lay still, even deliberately lifting her shoulder a bit to make it more comfortable for him.

By nine o'clock, the mall was open.

She was about to wake him up when she saw that he was already awake, like he had an internal alarm clock.

He helped her out of the car while Jeff quietly followed, carrying the stuff.

Ian had never bought Christmas decorations before, at every store, he'd turn to her and ask, "Do we need this?"

Maja had looked it up online before, so she nodded, and they ended up buying a bunch of Christmas lights.

Last night, while the city was full of fireworks, they were making love, missing all the fireworks. So, now he eagerly asked her, "Wanna see some fireworks?"

Probably not many women would say no to that.

Maja nodded again.

Suddenly, he placed a hand on her shoulder and said in a low tone, "I see you know exactly what to buy, so you were just trying to appease me with that wreath, weren't you?"

He was still holding a grudge.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Maja quickly apologized, "Sorry for the previous night."

"Don't do that again."

He pinched her earlobe and then they moved on.

They took so much stuff that Jeff couldn't carry it all, so they called in more bodyguards.

Just the fireworks filled up a whole truck.

Finally, Jeff suggested to Ian, "Boss, there are companies that specialize in firework displays. You can tell them what you want to see tonight."

Buying fireworks was fun, but it can be chaotic.

Being the perfectionist that Ian was, he'd probably prefer something designed by others who had control over this sort of thing.

Ian was a bit distant from Maja at that moment. After thinking it over, he nodded. Watching the fireworks with her that night sounded nice.

It'd be even better if they could reserve a nice restaurant, with the whole sky full of fireworks.

"Jeff, book that restaurant by the river. It's the best place to watch the fireworks."

"Okay."

Jeff thought to himself, “Finally, the boss is showing some romance.”

After Ian finished, he caught up to Maja, reached out quietly, and took her hand.

Maja had never walked through the mall holding hands like that. She paused, then lowered her head, accepting his gesture.

They were both a bit shy, like school kids.

Even though they'd made love many times, they'd never acted like that before.

Ian cleared his throat, looking for a topic, "Need anything else? Anything you're short of lately?"
