Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 719

She took a seat and glanced at her watch. It was 7:20. Ian would probably show up in about ten minutes.

The lighting on this floor was a bit dim. She turned her head to look at the night view outside the window, her thoughts drifting.

This might be the most normal Christmas she had had in years.

She didn’t expect to spend it with Ian.

The feeling was quite peculiar.

She wasn't sure how much time had passed by when she pulled out her phone to check the time. It was already 8 o'clock, but Ian had not yet arrived.

A waiter came over and asked if she wanted to start her meal.

She gave a little smile and replied, "No need, someone's still on the way."

The waiter had no choice but to retreat.

When 9 o'clock rolled around, Maja was starting to get hungry. She furrowed her brows. Ian didn't seem like the type to be late.

She couldn't help but try to reach out to him. Ian picked up.

"Penny, what's up?"

His tone was a bit gentle, which made Maja wonder if he had forgotten their dinner date.

Maybe he was stuck in traffic.

"Mr. Raymond, where are you?"

Ian was still in the hospital bed. After waking up, the doctor had been conducting brain scans on him, saying that he had fully recovered.

He remembered past events, but the recent shock had made him forget that he had asked Maja to be his girlfriend and their dinner date.

But he remembered his past with Maja.

Hearing her question, he was a bit surprised, "Did I make plans with you tonight?"

Maja's heart turned cold, her fingers trembling slightly.

If it wasn't for the seriousness in Ian's voice, she would have thought the man she had been sweetly dating was just a figment of her imagination.

She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

After a while, she forced a laugh, "No, just wanted to say, Merry Christmas."

Ian chuckled lightly, suddenly wanting to see her, but he knew that he needed to rest.

Maja hung up the phone first, looking at the still burning-candle, her eyes growing cold.

The waiter came over again to ask if he could serve the food.
