Chapter 1146


    Ian nced at her, his eyes downcast, "Guess I''ll head home then."


    "Yeah."


    Maja, umbre in hand, returned to the living room only to find Rocky had left a trail of wet paw prints


    across the floor from the rain.


    She frowned, "Go sit in the corner."


    Off to the side was arge hair dryer specially for pets. Seeing it being switched on, Rocky quickly


    scurried over.


    Unable to sleep, Maja stood by the window of the first floor, watching as Ian walked away. His


    silhouette looked lonely.


    She showed no sympathy. His temper needed to be curbed, and if he didn''t change, there was no need


    for them to be together.


    As Ian left the Rosewood Manor, his car was already waiting, driven by Jeff.


    Once inside, Jeff handed him a clean towel.


    "Mr. Raymond."


    Ian casually wiped his hair a few times before looking out at the pouring rain.


    After the car stopped at Greenfield Gardens, he made a call to Dn Sanders.


    "I disagree with the engagement to the Sanders family. I won''t see Judith anymore. And tell your sister


    to keep her friend, Wind, in check. If he messes with Maja, I won''t be kind."


    Dn, a man of routine, was already fast asleep when he received Ian''s call. The sudden news left him


    cold.


    "Ian, are you messing with us?"


    "Am I? I only said I would give it a try, and now I have. I found that I still like Maja."


    "Ian!"


    Dn''s eyes were icy. After a few seconds of silence, he took a deep breath, "The Raymond


    Corporation isn''t invincible."


    "Then try me."


    After hanging up, he entered Greenfield Gardens. After showering, he blocked all of Judith''s numbers


    on his phone.


    Lying in bed, he instinctively reached out, only to grasp at air. He touched his lips, at least he had


    kissed her earlier. The rain was worth it.


    Unable to sleep after few minutes’ trying, he took a cold shower, as if trying to cleanse himself. He


    spent the whole night soaking in cold water in the bathtub.


    With the room''s air conditioning at its lowest, his antics led to him waking up with a fever.


    He asked Jeff to bring him a digital thermometer, took a picture of the reading, and sent it to Maja.


    Running a fever.


    Maja was just about to leave for work. She was still shaken by the bullet that hit her car windowst


    night. So, she swapped her usual driver for a bodyguard from Rosewood Manor. His surveince


    detection skills were top-notch, making the journey safer than if Zoey had picked her up.


    Until the situation with the Sanders family was resolved, her movements were restricted to the


    Now that she knew someone was trying to kill her, she needed be cautious.


    On his way to work, Ian noticed that his message had been sent half an hour ago and still hadn''t been


    replied to. So, he sent another picture, this time of the files on his knee.


    Working despite being sick.


    By this time, Maja was already seated in her office, instructing the first-floor bodyguard to tighten


    security. For the next two hours, all routes to the top floor were manned by bodyguards. This way,


    anyone from other floors who wanted to enter the top floor would have to go through an application


    process.


    As the owner of the Star Movie Group, such caution was necessary to take in order to prevent


    paparazzi from infiltrating thepany.


    After a meeting, Maja saw that Ian had sent another screenshot, this time of his Facebook post.


    He rarely posted on Facebook, and the few posts he had made were mostly about her.


    This time, he shared a cheesy moment.


    Past, present, and future, only She has my heart.


    As this was Maja''s initials, most of his Facebook friends knew about their past rtionship and were


    aware that he was referring to Maja, not Judith.


    Tylermented below.


    [Are you nning to acquire the Star Movie Group?]


    The joke fell t, and Ian replied to him.


    [Get lost.]


    On the rocky road to winning back his wife, thest thing he needed was a friend causing trouble.


    Tyler was puzzled while watching the post. Ian was still head over heels in love despite knowing that


    Maja loved his brother.


    He immediately called Ian, but the call was redirected to voicemail.


    Ian was on the phone with Fitch.


    "Is it possible you two getting back together?"


    There was no other couple like them in the circle. A married couple who divorced, started dating again,


    and then broke up, their love story was public knowledge. The entanglement didn’t seem to end.


    "We haven''t reconciled yet."


    Fitch sighed in relief, "I knew it. You couldn''t possibly be so lovesick. Even if shees back to you,


    you should at least hold out for a while. Don''t just believe her sweet words."


    Ian choked on his words, "I''m the one who went back to her. She hasn''t agreed yet."


    Fitch was taken aback, "She lied to you. Her first love was Eric, and yet you forgave her."


    "She didn''t lie to me. She was deceived by my brother. She didn''t know that Patric was Eric, and she


    still doesn''t know."

    Frowned, Fitch pondered over the truthfulness of his words.


    After a while, he asked, "What if she finds outter and Erices back, and she chooses Eric? Ian,


    do you have the confidence to believe she will choose you? The power of first love is not that you can


    imagine, for both men and women. The current love would always be unable topare with their true


    love."


    Who didn''t understand this? Hence the saying, don''t fall in love in the vanity fair.
