Maja couldn't believe how assertively Ian had brought Rocky back.
Rocky was much like him - tough and proud with strangers but instantly obedient in his presence.
They were back at Rosewood Manor at that time, and Ian, frustrated, swatted Rocky on his rump.
"Turning to someone else as your master so easily, what's the use of raising you!"
After saying that, his hand came down harder.
Maja sat to the side; a fruit platter prepared by Maria in her hand. She ate a piece, and seeing Ian like that, she couldn't help but imagine that he'd be just as disappointed in their own son in the future.
Heat flushed her face.
Ian didn't notice her internal turmoil as he was focusing solely on scolding Rocky.
Rocky, trying to appease him, lay down and wagged his body, hoping to calm Ian's anger.
Ian, amused and annoyed, was about to continue his lecturing when he noticed another white figure darting towards Maja.
It was Coco, who, having been by Maja's side for so many years, knew exactly how to win over her affection.
She rested her head on Maja's knee, her ears twitching.
Whenever Maja was upset before, Coco would do that to cheer her up.
Looking at Coco, Maja's heart softened, and she gently stroked Coco's head.
"Coco, good girl."
Seeing that, Ian felt a pang of jealousy.
The pet given by his romantic rival knew exactly how to please Maja, while his own Rocky had silently accepted another woman as his master.
His frustration grew more and more.
He shoved Rocky aside and gave him punishment for his betrayal,
"No food for two days!"
Rocky seemed to understand that trying to please Ian was useless at that point, so he quickly squeezed next to Maja, pushing Coco away and laying his head on her lap.
Maja was taken aback.
When Coco did that, it was cute and obedient.
But when Rocky did it, Maja couldn't help but think that if he could talk, he'd be saying, "I've come this far, you better pet me, don't be ungrateful."
Her gaze fell on Ian as she curiously asked,
"Did Rocky always follow you around?"

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
