Ian didn’t respond, instead, he held Maja close like she was his favorite pillow, wrapping his arms snugly around her.

In such a cozy embrace, Maja didn’t stir, even snuggled closer to find the perfect spot to rest.

Patric was seething with anger, cradling his injured hand.

“Ian, aren’t you going to ask anymore? Your brother clearly has other motives. He’s not over Maja—I can tell. Every time he lays eyes on her, I can feel his emotions spike. And here you are, keeping a man who’s smitten with Maja right by your side, a man who’s her first love, no less. Don’t you get jealous? If I were you, I’d do everything in my power to make Eric vanish. As for me, Patric, I’m on your team.”

Ian remained silent, sensing Maja beginning to wake in his arms. He shot a glance at Patric.

Oblivious, Patric kept fanning the flames.

“Right, you agree with me, don’t you?”

The next second, the bodyguard at the door stepped in and dragged Patric out.

Maja was indeed awake. She glanced outside; it was already afternoon.

She was in a surprisingly good mood, thanks to Ian’s promise to introduce her to Dr. Phelps, and her aversion towards him had lessened.

Later, Ian had even organized a fireworks display on the rooftop.

A candlelit dinner followed by fireworks, with the spectacle lasting until midnight.

Maja was emotionless, merely finding the fireworks beautiful.
