Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 1938

She was puzzled; she couldn't quite figure out why Fitch was so into her. Their acquaintance was brief, yet he seemed utterly smitten, as if she was the only one for him. Greenfield was brimming with beauties, and she didn't see herself as the cream of the crop. They exchanged glances, the air thick with unspoken words, silence reigning between them for a moment. Fitch couldn't stand the tension and shifted his gaze away first.

"Is something on your mind?"

Zoey felt her heart skip a beat. "Well, I noticed Nolan talks more when we play video games together. I was thinking... maybe I could play with him for an hour each day." She felt uneasy, avoiding Fitch's eyes.

But Fitch fixed his gaze back on her, making Zoey's cheeks flush and her heartbeat race. Noticing Nolan peering over from a distance, Fitch suddenly grabbed Zoey by the wrist and pulled her towards the secluded flower wall.

Before Zoey could question his intentions, his lips were on hers. "Fitch!" She tried to resist, but Fitch seemed to know just how to touch her, sending waves of weakness through her body. Confused, she wondered if she was really this susceptible. Her attempts to push him away weakened.

They stood hidden from view in the living room, surrounded by the scent of flowers, making it harder to breathe. Fitch paused, their foreheads touching as if he was struggling with something. Zoey's situation was hardly better; if Fitch hadn't been holding her, she might have collapsed. She thought about slapping him, but her hand just couldn't gather the strength.
