Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 831

He felt totally screwed, couldn't hold his emotions in check and was utterly embarrassed.

"I'm not sure."

That was Maja's response, instantly chilling him out.

He looked down at her, thankful she didn't mention any man's name but said "I'm not sure".

His heart finally got some relief, and he held her tightly.

"So, would you give it a shot, liking me?"

Since he had relaxed, his tone became gentler.

"Mr. Raymond, you don't really like me that much."

No sooner had she spoken did he let out a cynical chuckle.

The streetlights at night weren't bright, but his skin was naturally radiant, so even in such dim lighting, he seemed to glow.

He gazed down at her face, not caring about pedestrians around, just staring at her.

His emotions were as deep as thick ink.

"Maja, you keep saying I don't genuinely like you. It's actually you who doesn't want to admit I like you, so you've been denying my feelings from the get-go. You're avoiding me and shirking responsibility for what happened between us because you want to ditch me."

So the words she just said were actually meant for herself.

Ian found this both amusing and ironic.

"It's not that I don't like you, but that you don't like me, that's why you're saying this."

Maja didn't reply. She looked down at her phone, making an excuse.

"It's getting late, and I should go in."

She turned to leave but heard him say again.

"Who's the guy who gave you the ring? Do you like him? You do have someone you like, and you just don't want to tell me. When we got married, you just wanted to help the Pennyfeather family through their tough times. Even when we slept together, it was only because I made you feel good. Maja, I find you even cooler than me. If I don't seek you out, you'll never take the initiative. I say I like you, and you outright deny me. What am I to you."

Maja stiffened, feeling his words like a knife stabbing her heart.

This wasn't the first time Ian asked her this and she felt heartbroken.

Then, he held her again.
