Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

Chapter 161

Maja’s phone was tucked securely in her pocket, yet she had no idea who was calling her that night. Even though she had silenced her phone, the calls kept rolling in, one after the other.

The ringing seemed incessant, as if it wouldn’t stop until she picked up.

Maja bowed her head, trying to fish her phone out of her pocket.

Maja had prepared herself to give up and had even thought about how she would apologize.

But the moment she pulled her phone out of her pocket, it powered down completely.
