Ian stood in the elevator, watching the numbers slowly descend, and he couldn't quite get his bearings.
Snapping back to reality, he frantically began to press the buttons for the higher floors, but they remained unlit.
Upon reaching the ground floor, he found his behavior amusing and stepped out of the elevator, waiting for it to ascend again.
But it was headed to the basement.
The other elevator nearby remained stuck at the top floor.
After waiting for a full minute, he became impatient. He found the staircase nearby and started running up.
Eight floors later, his forehead was covered in sweat. He yanked at his tie, accidentally knocking off a few buttons without even noticing.
He looked up, scanning his surroundings, and spotted Maja not far away.
Maja was wiping away tears, a sight that made his heart feel as though it had been pierced by an arrow.
Before approaching her, he straightened out his suit. Making sure there were no wrinkles, he walked over.
"Maja," he called, standing behind her.
Maja thought she was hallucinating. Hadn't he left?
She quickly wiped her tears away and turned around, her bright eyes focused on his face.
Her eyes were clearly washed by tears, with her eyelashes slightly wet.
She had lost a lot of weight recently. It seemed that Eric was not treating her well.
That made sense. If he was treating her well, he would have allowed her to recover her health before getting pregnant.
"Maja, are there any other secrets you're keeping from me?"
If she was honest, he was willing to marry her, give her a respectable status, and even raise her child.
He had lowered his expectations again and again.
He once thought he only wanted a woman who was clean and loved him passionately. But he got tangled up with Maja, who was then a married woman.
Later, he thought she should at least like him. But Maja now did not like him, and she was carrying Eric's baby.
He just couldn't stand seeing her like this.
As long as she was honest.

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....
