All Chapters of Dear Ex, Marry Me : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 32: Turning PageLeilani Moore Jaxon was still standing too close, his eyes were on me and I shifted uncomfortably, wanting some space but knowing he wasn’t going to give it to me. “Jaxon,” I said, my voice firm but tinged with exhaustion. “I need you to move.”He didn’t immediately comply, his eyes studying me with a look I couldn’t quite decipher. For a moment, I thought he was going to argue, to push further for something he wanted. But then, after a beat of silence, he finally stepped back. His face softened, and he took a seat across from me, clearly willing to drop the tension. His tone shifted almost instantly to that of a business-minded professional.“I have reviewed the documents you sent over,” he began, “and everything you outlined has been considered. There are a few things we need to discuss, but more importantly, we will need to head to Paris.” He paused, his eyes briefly meeting mine. “There are investors there we need to meet, and we will also get a firsthand

Chapter 34: Unexpected Apology Jaxon WollfI sat at my desk, my eyes scanning the file in front of me, though my mind wasn’t on the documents at all. It was all on Leilani. I couldn’t help it as I kept on smiling, everything seemed to be better than it was before just because of her. She had agreed to come with me to Paris, and that fact consumed every part of me. The business was important, yes, but this… this was about us. About trying to fix everything I had messed up. It wasn’t just a trip to work. It was my chance to show her that I could be the man she needed. I would win her back, no matter what it took. I will let her know that she is the only woman I want and I want to worship. I glanced at the clock. The day had been dragging, and the long hours of work weren’t helping my mood. I hadn’t been able to focus on anything but the trip and the possibility of what could happen when we were finally away from all the distractions. I couldn’t help but smile at the city I had chose

Chapter 36: Your Words Are Balm Leilani MooreI stared at my phone wondering what had gotten to me, I would normally have discharged Jaxon but I couldn’t but want to be there for him when he called him, it seems these days when he is going through something I was the first for him to call. I couldn’t help the smile that crept to my face, my heart fluttering feeling special, I quickly cleared my throat trying not to let that get to me, I let out a deep breath and looked around for what I needed before I left the house. I was halfway through packing when Ruth barged into my room, her usual energy filling the space before she even spoke."When are you leaving for Paris?" she asked, already knowing the answer, though she probably just wanted to hear it from me. I stopped what I was doing and turned to look at her, I wanted to complain about the way she barged into my room but I kept shut. "Three days," I answered, looking over at her with a raised brow. "Why do you ask?"She gave me a

Chapter 38: Who Is She Leilani MooreIt was the sound of a knock that pulled me out of my deep slumber. I groggily opened my eyes, the soft morning light streaming through the curtains. My mind was foggy, my body felt a little stiff from the uncomfortable bed and the late-night thoughts that had kept me awake before I was able to fall asleep.The knock came again, more persistent this time. I threw the blanket off of me, trying to shake off the heaviness in my limbs, and walked to the door. I pulled it open and it was Jaxon. The first thing I noticed eyes were heavy with fatigue, dark circles under them, his usual confident posture drooping just a little. I felt a pang of annoyance, but I couldn’t place exactly why. Was I upset with him for leaving or upset with myself for feeling the way I felt, lonely and hoping he joined me. “Morning,” he muttered, his voice rough from lack of sleep.“Jaxon, you look awful.” The words came out before I could stop them, and I winced.He gave me

Chapter 40: Better not come any closer Leilani MooreI paced back and forth in the hotel room, my bare feet making quiet taps against the plush carpet. My mind was racing, too many thoughts tangled together in a chaotic mess. I checked the clock again. 9:14 PM. Jaxon had left this afternoon. around 2 PM, to have lunch with Natalie and it was almost nine now. Almost seven hours had passed. The longer I waited, the more my thoughts began to go uncontrollable. Why hadn’t he come back yet? Where was he?My fingers hovered over my phone, itching to call him. But I stopped myself each time. I didn’t want to seem clingy or overbearing. That’s what I kept telling myself. He was just having lunch, right? It’s not like I had any right to get upset. I wasn’t his girlfriend, I wasn’t anything to him, really.But then why did the feeling of betrayal stir inside me? I couldn’t deny that my patience was running thin. Natalie. That name kept ringing in my head like an annoying echo. She was so… char
