After hanging up the phone, lan snorted in derision, paying no mind to what had just happened.
Samuel smirked, “Since you’ve given up now, don’t hinder Penny and me. Rest assured, once you andJudith are engaged, I’ll definitely bring Penny along to congratulate you.”
Hearing this, lan found it laughable. How could Samuel presume to outdo Eric?
Lowering his eyelashes, he embarrassingly thought that perhaps he just didn’t understand Maja Maybeshe just didn’t prefer his type.
Perhaps when they were intimate before, all she could think about was Eric.
This realization made him uncomfortable all over, as if he were on fire
He pulled out a check, wrote down $200,000 for Samuel, and tossed it directly onto the latter’s face.Then, he got into his dented car and drove off
Samuel stood in place, taking a while to process that he’d just been insulted with money
He flipped off lan’s car
lan drove a few hundred meters away, making sure he was out of Samuel’s sight, before he pulled over
The air outside was hot, and even though the car was air–conditioned, he felt suffocated.
He leaned back, staring blankly ahead.
An hour later, his phone rang It was Judith, asking where he was
It was only then that he snapped back to reality, I’ll be there soon
By the time he drove to the hospital, another half an hour had passed He was more than an hour latefor their agreed time
Judith didn’t dare show any displeasure, especially now that Maja was back.
But it didn’t matter. She had a grand surprise planned at the restaurant.
Since lan wouldn’t make a decision, she would make it for him.
After today, Maja would be completely out of the picture!
Judith quietly sat in the back seat, wanting to say something to him to close the gap between themnovelbin
But lan was acting too cold Upon careful reflection, she found that it seemed he only showed otherexpressions when he was with Maja.
This realization nearly drove Judith mad
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm. As long as she could get through this, lan wouldbe hers
Once they arrived at the restaurant, she intentionally chose the main dining hall instead of a privateroom.
The restaurant was located high up, especially the window seats, which offered a view of the citybelow. They had to be reserved in advance.
But lan had already had Jeff arrange everything, and they went straight in.
To her surprise, the tables were set for a romantic dinner, complete with white tablecloths and scatteredrose petals

But at that time, there was the annoying Beck, so he hadn’t had a chance to truly enjoy their timetogether
Why was he thinking about Maja again?
lan glanced around the restaurant, only then realizing that this was the same place where he and Majahad dined together.
He was already feeling uncomfortable, and now he felt even more stifled
Seeing his discomfort. Judith assumed he didn’t like the food here and suggested. “We can gosomewhere else”
“It’s fine”
He pushed away the memories of Maja in his mind. but when the steak was brought out, he instantlyremembered how he used to cut it for her.
He had treated her so well but she only saw him as a replacement
When had he ever been humiliated like this before?
