Chapter 1263
His mind abruptly flashed back to the scenes of the two of them quietly working in this study. The only sound in the
room was the tapping of the keyboard.
In the middle of a meeting, he would often turn his head and see her, propped up by one hand, staring quietly at
the documents with a cool and obedient demeanor.
His heart felt as if it had just been singed, and his fist clenched tightly
The events of this morning were absurd Since waking up he had spent the entire afternoon feigning calm
He had already been used as a stand–in, and didn’t want to make a further fool of himself
Now in the quiet of the night, he felt a dull ache in his heart as he looked at everything before him
He slowly settled into her chair and leaned on the desk.
Her chair was a bit smaller than his
Despite her calm demeanor, she had a fondness for the cute things often loved by young girls, so the cushion on
her chair was pink
She had picked out the design herself online Worned that it would take too long to arrive, lan had Jeff buy one from
the store. In less than an hour, it was in front of her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe used it that night, praising the softness of the cushion and even asked if he wanted one
He could never want such a pink thing
lan laid his head on the desk, his breathing became heavy, and after a short while, his shoulders began to shake
slightly
Outside in the corridor, the servants were still busy throwing everything away
Maja curled up on the couch by the window. The window was open
To prevent her from escaping Patric had the window barred with several steel rods.
She could feel the night wind but could only extend one hand out.
The wind blow on her cheeks, causing her forehead to bead with sweat.
Her throat hurt, a burning pain, as if something was searing inside.
She overheard Dylan and Patrics conversation. Dylan wanted to render her mute.
Since drinking that concoction, her throat had swollen to the point where she could no longer speak.
It hurt She couldn’t eat, only drink water
Struggling, she rose and stretched her hand out the window, the coolness outside dispelling much of her feverish
heat.
But she was still in pain, shivering from the intensity.
Her earpiece crackled with intermittent voices
“Patric is preparing your engagement. It’s tentatively scheduled for next month. You won’t have a chance to
refuse.”
Maja pressed her forehead against the steel bars in front of her, hoping to clear her mind.
The voice in her earpiece continued
“After you obediently get engaged to him, I’ll take you to North America.”
Only by getting engaged could her connection with lan be completely severed.
Maja’s eyes reddened, and she tried to voice her protest, but her throat couldn’t form the words. All she could do
was beat her palm against the wail, again and again.
The person on the other end of the earpiece naturally heard the sound and knew her hand must be red. She was
hitting the wall as if she didn’t care about her life
Do you want Patric to handcuff you? He’s not like Eric He embodies all the dark sides of men, and he’s more
ruthless than anyone. He lost his CEO position because of you, and he’s already furious if he hears you now, you
may not even have the chance to enjoy the breeze by the window. Maja, why can’t you behave?”
Majas nose stung, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Why did all this happen to her? Why couldn’t they be together when they were in love?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Maja, do you remember the jellyfish seal you got in Crystalbrook Valley? Lillian didn’t have time to tell you
everything before she left, but you should have an intuition that this seal isn’t ordinary BK, as the top–ranked
organization and a hidden family, chose you The previous saint, your adoptive mother, was Lillian”
Majas hands gripped the steel bars tightly her body frozen as if she had been hit by a stunning spell
The man’s voice continued on the other side
“Thats a world you don’t understand at all So before you enter, you have to let go of all your desires, anger and
ignorance Lillian didn’t die, she disappeared. But your wete too young to touch those things at that time You were
brought up by her as a successor, nurtured to be tough, and sometimes those who have gone through suffering
can be more ruthless than others”
Maja opened her mouth. There were so many questions she wanted to ask. But when Lillian was mentioned, she
suddenly closed her mouth
She always said that Lillian was the best person in the world to her, and taught her a lot
But Lilian had died and left a lonely graw
Now this Ark was telling her that Lillian wasn’t dead?
