After trudging half a kilometer, she could still hear the sound of footsteps behind her.

Even after she hailed a cab, Ian hopped in right after her.

“Are you out of your mind?”

Her tone was icy as she tried to put as much distance between them as possible.

Ian, thick-skinned as ever, sat close, remaining silent no matter how much she insulted him.

During the bumpy ride, he even reached out to cushion her head from the jolts.

When they arrived at Rosewood Manor, as she stepped out of the cab, he immediately paid the fare.

Maja had already walked to the front gate, instructing the security guard to close it.

But the guard wasn’t quick enough, and Ian slipped through.

He followed her to the living room door of the villa. This time, she entered first, slamming the door behind her.

Ian didn’t follow her in, instead, he found a stone bench outside and sat down.

The garden was furnished with not only stone benches but also stone tables. He took a sip of the tea on the table, and continued to gaze at the house.

Maja couldn’t care less. If he was willing to wait outside, then let him wait.

Once upstairs, she quickly showered. Looking at the clock, it was already 2 a.m. She decided to call it a night.

Suddenly, there was a rumble of thunder outside, flashes of lightning illuminating the room.

She heard Coco whining at the door. She quickly let it in.
