Ian couldn't help but laugh, staring at Dylan nonchalantly.
Judith, fearing a conflict, timidly tugged at Dylan's arm.
"Big bro, I'm fine. I know Ian doesn't like me much, probably because I talk too much."
She was so humble that everyone else felt it was unfair to her. But given Ian's status, no one dared to object.
Dylan slowly approached Ian, standing face to face with hardly half a foot between them.
Their height was almost the same, and as they stood there, it seemed to chill the air.
"Ian, when we return to the city, we need to talk."
They indeed needed to discuss their families' engagement.
Ian bypassed him and headed to Maja, clearly not interested in a conversation.
Dylan didn't retaliate. He knew Ian would eventually give in.
Judith clung to his arm, worried.
"Big bro, I'm sorry."
She was always docile in front of Dylan, quick to apologize whenever she sensed his anger. It had been this way since they were kids, and Dylan indeed spoiled her.
"It's fine. It's not your fault. Don't worry, whatever you want, I'll fight for it."
Judith didn't have a backpack either; her bag was with Dylan. She clung to Dylan's arm without hesitation, her face full of smiles.
"Got it."
The group continued on, but the atmosphere was tense after the incident, with few words exchanged.
Tyler stood among them, feeling a headache. They had hiked together before, but this time's atmosphere was the worst ever.
After walking for three hours, Maja, who was leading the group, slipped and started rolling down the slope.
"Maja!"
Ian was startled and immediately caught her hand, pulling her back.
Maja fell to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through her ankle.
Ian quickly knelt down to check her foot.

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....
