Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 1739

This Hospital was where Listina was being treated, and Felix had never once mentioned it to her.

If Listina had a fiancé who had stayed devotedly by her side all these years, then what role did Felix play in the picture? Was he just a distant cousin? Or was their relationship tightly bound due to their parents' connections?

Carol texted Felix.

[Hey, I'm at the hospital and heard the doc mention Listina's got a fiancé. Is that for real? How come I've never heard about this before?]

She sent a curious emoji, not expecting a reply since it was his working hours. But he replied swiftly.

[You're still at the hospital?]

[Yep, do you know about this? I was thinking of digging a little deeper.]

[Carol, I'm not working late tonight. Weren't you planning a surprise for me?]

Only then did Carol remember her plans, which had slipped her mind because of Abner's unexpected visit to the hospital.

Her cheeks flushed, and a smile curled at her lips.

[I'll head back soon. There are a bit of health problems with my dad, but he's okay now.]

Felix stared at his phone screen, his expression darkening - a rare sight.

Without overthinking, Carol left the hospital after sending the message. Returning to the place Felix rented, she unlocked the door and got busy unwrapping a package.

Inside was something she had ordered - meticulously sanitized as she was particular about cleanliness.

Glancing at the time to make sure Felix would be arriving soon, she hid by the living room door. Felix had taken his meds at the office and when he entered the dimly lit room, a warm, fragrant body crashed into his arms, his hands instinctively gripping her waist.

Through the dim light from outside, he could see she was wearing a headband with what she called "leopard ears".

Carol swayed her hips, her "tail" wagging twice.

"How do I look? Am I mesmerizing?"

As she moved to turn on the light, Felix caught her hand. His kiss landed on her neck, and Carol's body melted, a hint of pride in her response. If this didn't bewitch him, nothing would. She had spent ages choosing this outfit.

Felix lifted her effortlessly and placed her on the foyer cabinet. The room's temperature spiked instantly.

By the time they were done, her forehead was dotted with sweat, and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck.

"Felix, I've been thinking about marring you. What about you?"

He stiffened, silent for half a minute. In case he hadn't heard, she repeated, "Do you want to marry me?"

"Yes."
