Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 715

Ian thought to himself, "Man, I really wasted my effort being nice to her, gifted her that huge piece of land, now who knows how much it's worth. She never once gave me a gift, but she was giving expensive things to other guys. She's heartless, really,"

Ian stared blankly ahead.

For the next while, Ian's mood noticeably dropped. He and Maja casually bought some stuff and then headed back to Greenfield Gardens.

Maja picked up a few Christmas lights, unsure where to hang them.

Ian stood to the side, his enthusiasm visibly reduced, seeming not so keen on decorating the house anymore.

Seeing him like that, Maja thought he didn't like the lights, so she had the servants put them away.

Ian frowned, hearing her order the servants to put them away, he immediately stood up.

"Why are we putting them away?"

"I thought you didn't like them."

"Who said that?"

He grabbed a light and pulled over a folding ladder from the side.

Maja, worried that he'd fall, quickly went to steady the ladder.

After Ian hung up the lights, he asked her, "How does it look?"

Indeed, it made the entire villa come alive.

"Beautiful!"

She answered sincerely.

Ian's lips curled up in a little smile.

He then hung up a few more lights, moving the ladder under another part of the eave, hanging four lights in a row.

With over a dozen lights left, Maja pointed at the Christmas tree outside, suggesting,

"Hang them on the tree."

And so, a tree was adorned with over a dozen small lights, glowing, it was pretty.

Ian looked at the tree, a warmth in his eyes.

At that moment, Maja brought over another bag, which had a dozen more lights, they decided to hang them on another Christmas tree.

"Mr. Raymond, this time let me do it."

Maja climbed up the ladder herself, Ian quickly steadied her.

"Be careful."

Maja had just hung up the last light and was about to climb down when she slipped, scaring Ian half to death.

He quickly caught her, angrily saying, "Didn't I tell you to be careful? Why did you insist on climbing up to hang the lights? This is a man's job!"

Maja wasn't hurt, she wriggled free off his hold and looked at her handiwork.

Looked good, both trees were perfectly symmetrical.

It was still daytime, even if the lights were on, the effect wouldn't be visible.

Ian led her inside and asked, "Did you twist your ankle?"
