"Who taught you to speak like that?"
Dylan's face hardened, his eyes turning icy. "Don't pick up bad habits from Beck."
Judith pouted, continuing to tug on his arm.
Dylan was a man of integrity and had little patience for women's jealousy games. He focused on his work and was particularly responsible towards his family.
In his eyes, Judith was just a spoilt girl with no harmful intentions. She was merely a child wanting to be the center of the universe, and there was nothing wrong with that. After all, she was still young.
"Brother, I was wrong."
She bit her lip, obediently falling silent, knowing that Dylan didn't appreciate her earlier antics.
Dylan's gaze kept wandering toward Maja.
Maja had now strolled to a distant observation deck. The hill was high, offering a grand view of the night cityscape.
It was as if the Milky Way had cascaded onto the Earth. This was her first time seeing Greenfield from this vantage point.
As she sat on the stone bench, Ian touched her hair.
"Has your hair grown longer?"
Her hair used to be shoulder-length, but now it could be tied into a ponytail.
He twirled a lock of her hair between his fingers, asking, "Do you want to put it up?"
Maja shook her head but noticed a black hair tie around his wrist.
Ian, who usually only wore a watch, had a hair tie on his wrist today.
Her gaze lingered for a few seconds longer.
Ian suddenly felt embarrassed, "I thought your hair had grown longer, and you might want to tie it halfway, so I brought a hair tie."
Maja suddenly laughed out loud, inspecting his wrist closely.
The mere trinket, probably worth just a few cents, looked priceless on his slender wrist.
"Ian, can you keep this hair tie on your wrist forever?"
"Do you like it?"
"Mhmm."
"Okay, I'll keep it for you."
Before he could finish his sentence, they heard footsteps approaching. Someone was calling them to come and eat the king crab.
Seafood was best enjoyed hot, or it wouldn't taste as good.
He held Maja's hand, walking without hesitation towards the main table.
The chef had already brought the crab on a platter. The crab meat fell off at the slightest touch.
Maja took a bite and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Other people were sitting at the table, all enjoying the seafood. However, these delicacies were too common for them, probably not as enticing as a bowl of instant noodles. So, when they saw Maja's expression, someone snickered.
But with Ian sitting there, no one dared to say anything.

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....
