Chapter 1136

Ian sat across from Maja, their table barely four feet wide.

Judith sat beside him, her expression souring the moment she saw Maja. ~

Things between her and lan had been going well recently. Her father was supposed to visit Greenfield, but given Judith’s improving health, he had postponed his trip.

Judith’s older brother had been trying to negotiate a marriage between the two families, eager to announce it to their social circle, but lan was hesitant.
