Chapter 1128


    Ian stood in the elevator, watching the numbers slowly descend, and he couldn''t quite get his bearings.


    Snapping back to reality, he frantically began to press the buttons for the higher floors, but they


    remained unlit.


    Upon reaching the ground floor, he found his behavior amusing and stepped out of the elevator, waiting


    for it to ascend again.


    But it was headed to the basement.


    The other elevator nearby remained stuck at the top floor.


    After waiting for a full minute, he became impatient. He found the staircase nearby and started running


    up.


    Eight floorster, his forehead was covered in sweat. He yanked at his tie, identally knocking off a


    few buttons without even noticing.


    He looked up, scanning his surroundings, and spotted Maja not far away.


    Maja was wiping away tears, a sight that made his heart feel as though it had been pierced by an


    arrow.


    Before approaching her, he straightened out his suit. Making sure there were no wrinkles, he walked


    over.


    "Maja," he called, standing behind her.


    Maja thought she was hallucinating. Hadn''t he left?


    She quickly wiped her tears away and turned around, her bright eyes focused on his face.


    Her eyes were clearly washed by tears, with her eyshes slightly wet.


    She had lost a lot of weight recently. It seemed that Eric was not treating her well.


    That made sense. If he was treating her well, he would have allowed her to recover her health before


    getting pregnant.


    "Maja, are there any other secrets you''re keeping from me?"


    If she was honest, he was willing to marry her, give her a respectable status, and even raise her child.


    He had lowered his expectations again and again.


    He once thought he only wanted a woman who was clean and loved him passionately. But he got


    tangled up with Maja, who was then a married woman.


    Later, he thought she should at least like him. But Maja now did not like him, and she was carrying


    Eric''s baby.


    He just couldn''t stand seeing her like this.


    As long as she was honest.


    "No."


    Her reply was like a p to his face, interrupting his thoughts. He felt like aughingstock once again.


    He took a deep breath, looking at her face.


    How could she lie so easily after making him soften up each time?


    If he hadn''t known that Patric was Eric, he might have believed her.


    A sarcastic smile appeared on his face.


    "Right, you''re correct. We are indeed ipatible. Let''s end this, Maja. Don''t contact me anymore."


    Maja stiffened, looking at the handprint on his cheek. "Did youe back to tell me this?"


    "Yes, I didn''t make it clear just now. It''s not you who broke up with me, it''s me who broke up with you. I


    find you unclean. That''s it."


    Maja raised her hand, intending to p him again.


    But he caught her hand.


    "Now, you don''t even have the right to p me. Let''s end this, Maja."

    He said it twice.


    Each word was deliberate and serious.


    Maja finally understood that it was over between them.


    Her face turned pale, and tears began to fall.


    She didn''t want to cry because it was too embarrassing.


    "Ian, what if I say I want to be with you?"


    But Ian had already turned around, his tone light.


    "Do I need to repeat it? I find you unclean. With my status, I should be able to find someone better."


    Then he walked away without looking back.


    His tone was light throughout, but it brought great humiliation to Maja.


    She already despised herself for that night with Patric. Now that he had explicitly rejected her for being


    unclean, she suddenly felt herself despicable.
