Female Novel
Chapter 1214
This time Ian did it in a hard way, hurting Maja a bit.
But she understood. He was trying to tell her not to be scared of that night.
Her hands instinctively wrapped around him, her eyes welling up with unshed tears.
Ian became gentle. His voice hoarse as he muttered, "I'm sorry."
Maja slowly shook her head, allowing him to dictate the pace.
The next morning.
As Ian and Maja drove away from Greenfield Gardens, they saw even more cars parked outside.
Patric's car was leading the pack, followed by some others from the higher-ups.
Patric stood there innocently, leaning slightly on his car, his gaze sweeping over the car Maja was in.
A smirk appeared on his lips as he watched a few men walk up to the car.
Whatever they said to Ian, they wore serious expressions.
Ian casually waved his hand, leaning over to place a soft kiss on Maja's cheek.
"I changed all the passwords to your birthday last night. I probably won't be around for a few days. If
you have some time, check my emails and handle them for me."
Maja clutched his hand nervously.
She knew these people were sent by the higher-ups, siding with Patric.
They were there to talk with Ian.
"Ian."
Seeing such situation for the first time, she panicked for a moment but then held his hand firmly.
"Ian, I'll wait for you to come back."
Then she watched as the men took him away.
Sitting alone in the car, Maja felt a chill run through her body.
The dozen or so cars quickly disappeared, leaving only Patric's behind.
Patric walked over, knocking on the car window.
Maja's face was cold. She didn't lower her window, not wanting to talk to him.
Patric stood outside, his gaze firmly fixed on her.
With no driver in the front seat, Maja had no choice but open the car door to get out. Her wrist wasnovelbin
immediately caught by Patric.
At a glance, Patric saw the mark deep in her collar, his pupils constricting sharply.
Whether it was Eric's emotions or something else, his anger was instantly ignited.
"So desperate for men?"
As soon as his words fell, Maja tried to slap him, but her wrist was firmly gripped by him.
The next second, he had her hands pinned behind her, pressing her against the car.
"Ian's been taken away. He'll probably be gone for a month or so. This is the time they've given me to
spend with you. If you don't cooperate, Ian's return will be indefinitely delayed. When Ian can come out
depends on how long you spend with me now, Maja."
Maja was trembling with anger, "You have no right to do this."
Patric chuckled.
"You're too naive."
There were plenty of people internationally who wanted that microchip. If its contents were leaked to
others, it would pose a great threat to the country.
Sacrificing personal attachment was a small price to pay.
Especially since the entire Raymond family agreed to this, even Steve personally approved.
Just like Holden chose to send Eric on a mission back then. If Eric could be sacrificed then, so could
Ian now.
Patric sighed slowly.
"Maja, I don't have time to spar with you. If you don't believe me now, wait until you haven't seen Ian for
months. You'll understand that only by getting along well with me during this time, can he return
sooner."
He let her go, his face gentle.
"Are you ready to talk to me now?"
However, Maja's retreating figure was all the answer he got.
She climbed into the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and drove back to Greenfield Gardens.
She almost hit Patric in the process.
