News of Judith’s sacrifice for lan had already circulated among their circle. In contrast to Maja’s suddenbetrayal, Judith stepped forward in the name of love at a crucial moment. If lan couldn’t appreciate this,it was hard to imagine what kind of woman he was looking for.
Surely, it couldn’t be Maja who had disappeared.
People within the circle were watching, and a good number of families had started to call lan. Theentire Raymond estate was now his, and a union with him would be beneficial for the Cooper family.
lan received no less than ten calls, each subtly hinting at the offer to send a girl over to intern to takecare of him. They might as well outright say they were offering him a woman.
He responded to none of them.
Judith, appearing pitiful, asked him, “lan, what’s so different between Maja and me?”
lan’s eyelashes quivered. He recalled the question he had once asked Maja in a dream- how hediffered from his brother. Now that Judith was asking a similar question, he was surprised to find asense of shared suffering.
In matters of love, the one not being loved always felt inferior.
Judith cried, her tears as beautiful as dew on pear blossoms. Then she wiped her eyes, saying. “It’sokay, I’m willing to wait. Everything I’ve done for you has been of my own. volition. I don’t want you tofeel burdened. I will keep pursuing you until you agree.”
Her gaze was straightforward and passionate, her affection for him clear.
lan fell silent, his chest aching at the question of their difference. Since childhood, he had always beencompared to Eric, and everyone thought he was inferior.
But he had never dwelt on it, believing that having Maja made him superior in every way.
There were times when he had shown Maja his vulnerability out of feeling neglected and overlookedHe would hold her tight, silent He thought there might have been moments when she was moved,hence the tender moments they sharednovelbin
But now, knowing that the person Maja truly loved was Eric, his perfect brother, made all hisvulnerabilities feel like a joke
He felt as if there was a gaping hole in his chest, bleeding profusely
He stood up calmly, and only after seeing Judith’s tears he said, “I’ll think about it.”

Dylan followed him out, both of them dressed in suits, looking impeccably refined.
“Mr. Raymond, I don’t want you to deceive Judy. She’s innocent, has never been in love and iscompletely devoted to you. If you give her hope and then let her down, I won’t let it slide.”
“Big brother!” Judith’s voice came from inside the room as she opened the door, her face showingdisagreement.
“Don’t talk to lan like that. I trust him. He won’t disappoint me. And even if he does, it’s okay. I haveenough love to wait.”
From the day she entered Greenfield, Judith had openly pursued lan, making her sincerity
unquestionable.
Seeing her defend lan, Dylan felt helpless.
“I’m just worried about you being deceived, and you’re so naive.”
Judith leaned against the wall and slowly walked up to lan.
“I trust he won’t deceive me.”
Her eyes gleamed as she said the word ‘trust‘.
lan simply nodded at them and slowly left.
Dylan didn’t follow. Instead, he ruffled Judith’s hair.
“Don’t worry,
if he doesn’t take responsibility for this, I’ll talk to him. You’re a Sanders, don’t let yourself be takenadvantage of.”
A sweet smile spread across Judith’s face as she hooked her arm through his.
“I know. Don’t worry about me. Go take care of your own stuff. As long as Wind is with me, it’s allgood.”
Dylan nodded, gave a few more words of caution, and left.
