Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 864

The light in the room was still on, but the two of them hadn't moved at all.

Maja thought she would be tossing and turning all night, but sleepiness hit her out of nowhere, and she was out like a light in no time.

Downstairs, Jeff had already arrived.

The boss had ordered him to come and pick up some clothes, and he didn’t dare to dawdle. It was Maria who opened the door for him.

Having been by Ian’s side for so long, Jeff was a pretty good assistant.

He threw a glance upstairs, catching no signs of movement, and then turned to Maria.

“Maria, did the boss and Miss Penny have another squabble?”

Why else would he be in such a rush for him to come over and pick up his clothes?

Maria thought for a moment. She hadn’t heard any ruckus either.

“I’m not quite sure.”

“Maria, you should hit the sack. I’ll leave once I’m done packing the boss’s clothes.”

It was already late, and Maria, being up there in age, needed her beauty sleep. She simply nodded.

Jeff tiptoed upstairs, wondering if they had made any noise but the room was as quiet as a mouse.

He stood outside Ian’s bedroom, ears perked up and listened for a while.

Silence reigned inside.

Jeff quickly put two and two together. Maybe the couple had made up, for now.

If he barged in right now, it would be all kinds of awkward!

So, he quickly slipped away like a ghost, pretending he was never there.

Thanks to his discretion, Maja and Ian could sleep like logs till dawn.

When Ian woke up, he instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight streaming in.

His other arm was heavy, numbed by Maja’s head resting on it.

He was just about to move when he looked down and saw Maja nestled in his arms, sleeping peacefully. Her eyelashes fluttered close, and she looked incredibly cute.

He froze, just staring at the ceiling, recalling how he’d fallen asleep while changing clothes the previous night due to exhaustion and lost consciousness afterward.

Waking up to such a joyful sight first thing in the morning filled his heart with sweetness, and he felt somewhat giddy.

He carefully turned to face her, staring at her face.
