Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

When Maja and lan returned to Greenfield Gardens, lan was already buzzing with excitement, eagerly dialing Tyler's number.

"Hey, you know about Abner, right? He..."

After hanging up, he immediately called Fitch.

"Dude, you won't believe what Abner..."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, and after a careful glance at the screen, Fitch realized it was indeed lan

calling.

He had mistaken it for Tyler initially.

Before Fitch could chin with a warning about Abner's potential retaliation, a loud "Ow!" cthrough the line.

"Maja, why the heck are you pulling my ear?"

"Enough, lan. Why can't you just leave Abner alone?"

Unable to listen any longer, Fitch hung up the phone.

He wasn't in the mood for lovey-dovey stuff, no matter the brand.

He was alone in the mansion. His gaze fell upon two certificates left on the coffee table, brought back from the civil affairs office

and never put away since.

Feeling as if scorched, he scooped up the two red booklets and ascended the stairs.

Ozzy was at the door, barking with joy at his return, tail wagging furiously.

Although there were now two dogs in the mansion, it was clear he favored Ozzy, the scruffy little mutt.

Picking up his furry buddy, he scratched under Ozzy's chin, eliciting a contented sound as the tail wagged even more vigorously.

The nanny nearby was a bit on edge; the sudden addition of two dogs to the house was one thing, but Fitch's affection for one of
