Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Carol had covered all of Listina's medical expenses, leaving Felix with 20 grand in his pocket.

After picking up the gift set, he toted it back home, not expecting to bump into one of Listina's friends there. He didn't spot them,

but they sure did him. Surprised, she snapped a photo of him.

Listina, still in the hospital, received the picture.

[Listina, your guy Felix is just amazing, sticking by you through thick and thin, working his tail off, and he's right there even when

you're sick. You just got out of surgery, and he's already got this fancy gift for you. I'm green with envy!]

She might not have tried those brands before, but Listina knew of them, and her lips curved into a smile. Seeing someone praise

Felix naturally made her happy.

[He's like that, always wanting to givethe best of everything. Thank goodness the surgery went well; I don't know what he'd do

on his own.]

[You must have saved a galaxy in your past life to land such a catch. Handsand faithful to boot.]

Continuing to smile, Listina thought about her upcoming birthday. Felix must have bought the gift set for that.

The skincare set wasn't cheap, probably costing over a thousand bucks, but he was clearly willing to splurge.

She felt a warm glow in her chest, wishing she could see him right then. But since it was meant to be a surprise, she played it cool

to avoid letting him down.

When Felix returned to their apartment, Carol was still sprawled on the couch. He set the box down, covered the leftovers on the

dining table with cling film, and stashed them in the fridge.
