Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 215

Ian took a deep breath, the icy atmosphere intensifying on his sharp-featured face.

Maria could tell these two men were no pushovers. So, like a frightened bird, she followed them.

"Holden, Ms. Pennyfeather is running a fever. She's taken her medicines and gone to sleep," she said.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Holden ordered her to open Maja's room door.

Maria obediently did as told, then stood to the side respectfully.

Holden gave Ian a stern look. "Aren't you going in to check on her? You told me you'd try harder. Were you lying?"

A shiver ran through Ian's brows. After receiving a phone call, he couldn't figure out why Holden insisted on coming to Rosewood Manor.

He entered Maja's room, but before he could say a word, the door shut behind him!

Ian's face darkened instantly, his gaze as cold as ice.

Holden ordered Maria to lock the door, and Maria, not daring to defy him, locked it promptly.

Through the door, Holden said, "Ian, take good care of Maja. You two have been sleeping separately. You didn't even avenge Maja when she was bullied. Don't think you can keep fooling me. Maja's too kind. She even defended you. Tonight, you two will sleep in the same room!"

Inside, Ian stood ramrod straight, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

On the bed, Maja was sweating buckets, too.

She hadn't expected Holden to lock Ian in the room.

She quietly covered her head with the quilt, shutting herself off completely.

Ian snorted coldly and sat down on the single-seater sofa, his gaze fixed on the bed.

"Stop pretending," he said, disgust tingeing his tone.

He believed this woman had feigned illness to lure Holden here.

Now that he was here, why was she hiding?
