Female Novel
Chapter 1073
A glint flickered in Maja's eyes but then she saw the man in front of her smirk coldly. He leaned in, his
nose almost brushing against hers.
Repulsed, she turned away, wishing she could dismember this man into pieces.
At this moment, Patric spoke softly.
"Do you think, after what happened between us, that Ian will still treat you the same? When he's in bed
with you, he'll be thinking whether you acted the same way with me. Did you confess to him? Do you
think he's not jealous? His insane jealousy drove him to hunt me down, making me hide like a fugitive.
You've really outdone yourself, Maja."
Maja had no idea that Ian had been secretly looking for Patric. She had already told him not to.
He must care. He was just pretending not to.
Patric grabbed her hand, forcing her to look at him. He laughed after a long silence and let go.
Maja stayed silent. Ian's voice could be heard from outside, "Maja?"
Patric walked to the window, propelled himself off with a single hand, and jumped down.
Maja had checked earlier, and the window was quite high.
She lowered her eyelashes, took a new pajama from the box aside, and put it on before opening the
door.
As the door opened, Ian's nose twitched slightly. He entered and closed the door.
Maja was in a complicated mood at this moment. On the one hand, Grandpa Holden was asking to
meet her. On the other, Patric was like a persistent ghost.
"Maja, I have a headache."
Ian was indeed suffering from a severe headache. Everything in front of him was swaying.
He lay on the bed and didn't move again.
Maja reached out and touched his forehead, and he didn't have a fever.
"Where does it hurt?"
"My head."
"But you don't have a fever. Are you drunk?"
He didn't respond for a long time. When she looked closely, she found that he had fallen asleep in just
a minute.
Maja laid down on the other side.
Ian liked to sleep with her in his arms, and it had become a habit. So when he felt someone beside him,
he hugged her into his arms.
Maja couldn't sleep at all. The words Patric said kept echoing in her mind. She wanted to ask Ian if he
was really investigating Patric, but she couldn't ask.
As soon as she asked, the matter between her and Patric would be dug up.novelbin
This was a thorn in their hearts.
The next day, at five o'clock, someone got up and started packing.
Maja woke up from a nightmare, dreaming that Patric suddenly shot at Ian, dreaming of Patric barging
into her and Ian's wedding.
When she woke up, she felt suffocated.
Ian was already up. He looked much better and had prepared everything he would bring.
Maja felt her throat hurt and asked hoarsely, "Last night?"
Ian weighed the bag. There were only a few bottles of mosquito repellent in it, but he was afraid of
tiring Maja, so he decided to carry everything himself.
Today, he was not wearing a suit but a windbreaker.
"Maja, start washing up when you get up. We set off at six o'clock sharp."
Maja wanted to ask about his issue with Judith last night, but she had to keep quiet for now.
At six o'clock sharp, a group of people gathered downstairs.
Ryan handed the rope in his hand to Maja. He had been playing with Rocky all night and had become
Rocky's friend.
Rocky obediently followed Maja, and Maja didn't carry any bag on her back. Ian carried one on his
back and held one in his hand.
Seeing this, the others became even more dissatisfied with Maja. They thought she was spoiled and
pampered.
Judith and Dylan were the last to arrive. Dylan's gaze at Ian was extremely cold, obviously still holding
a grudge about last night.
Ian didn't look at him but just repeated the precautions for the trip.
As soon as he finished speaking, Judith walked towards him, "Ian, are you okay?"
She had a smile on her face, and her eyes were sincere when she looked at him.
Ian's face turned cold instantly. Even a fool could tell there was something wrong with the wine last
night. It was so painful that it could be seen that Judith didn't prepare any ordinary stuff.
He didn't react and ignored her, holding Maja's hand, "Maja, let's walk in the front."
Hiking was something to be happy about. Although Maja had a lot on her mind, seeing the birds and
flowers along the path made her mood lighten instantly.
Everyone had a hiking stick in their hands. She didn't ask Ian to hold her hand but grabbed Rocky's
and walked ahead.
Judith kept close to Ian, trying to talk to him.
"Ian, I heard this path was discovered by you and Fitch. It crosses several areas. You're amazing."
"What kind of tree is this? Why does it bloom at this time of the year?"
She asked several questions in a row, but Ian didn't answer any of them.
Dylan couldn't stand it anymore and walked up to him.
"Mr. Raymond, what's the meaning of this?"
Dylan was always calm and rarely lost his temper.
