In frustration, he hung up the phone, Judith's questioning echoing in the room.
“Seemed like you and Maja are pretty tight.”
Beck took a seat nearby.
“Sweetie, just listen to Ian's boastful tone. He's not into you. He's got someone else he likes, and you're just cramping his style.”
Judith smirked, a tight smile pulling at her lips.
“Beck, the point isn't whether he likes me or not. It's whether I want him. If you won't help, I'll just ask Big Brother."
Beck frowned. Big brother would do anything for his little sister. Plus, with Wind by her side, getting rid of Maja would be a piece of cake.
“Beck, you've been hoodwinked by that wench too. You can leave and I won't bother you again.”
Hearing her say this, Beck felt a pang of loss. After all, Judith was the family's little princess. Everyone had to pamper her due to her heart condition.
“Have you taken your meds? Wind told me you weren't feeling well. Should I help you take them?”
He skillfully picked up the medicine from the coffee table, fetched a glass of warm water, and tried to feed it to her. But Judith swatted his hand away.
“Do you like Maja?”
“Just friends.”
Judith lowered her gaze, “Does she mean more to you than I do? Would you let me suffer for her sake?”
Beck looked at the glass of water in his hand, unsure what to say.
“Or maybe, Beck, you never really liked me. Because of my illness, everyone at home is focused on me. When you were sick for three days, no one even noticed because they were all busy taking me to the hospital. You resent me, don't you?”
Beck’s face turned serious. He placed the glass on the table, his tone becoming stern.
“Judy, you're my sister. I've never thought that way. I think you shouldn't be the third wheel since they're both in love. You're a Sanders, and you can have any man you want. There are plenty of men out there better than Ian.”
“I want Ian!!”
Judith angrily swept the cups off the coffee table as she yelled that.
Beck was used to a life of luxury, and no one dared to act out in front of him. But since she was his sister, he indulged her temper.
He took a deep breath, gently patting her head.
“Alright, what do you want me to do? But I'm telling you, I won't agree to anything too underhanded.”
A smile instantly appeared on Judith's face. She grabbed his sleeve and shook it playfully.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
