After trudging half a kilometer, she could still hear the sound of footsteps behind her.
Even after she hailed a cab, Ian hopped in right after her.
"Are you out of your mind?"
Her tone was icy as she tried to put as much distance between them as possible.
Ian, thick-skinned as ever, sat close, remaining silent no matter how much she insulted him.
During the bumpy ride, he even reached out to cushion her head from the jolts.
When they arrived at Rosewood Manor, as she stepped out of the cab, he immediately paid the fare.
Maja had already walked to the front gate, instructing the security guard to close it.
But the guard wasn't quick enough, and Ian slipped through.
He followed her to the living room door of the villa. This time, she entered first, slamming the door behind her.
Ian didn't follow her in, instead, he found a stone bench outside and sat down.
The garden was furnished with not only stone benches but also stone tables. He took a sip of the tea on the table, and continued to gaze at the house.
Maja couldn't care less. If he was willing to wait outside, then let him wait.
Once upstairs, she quickly showered. Looking at the clock, it was already 2 a.m. She decided to call it a night.
Suddenly, there was a rumble of thunder outside, flashes of lightning illuminating the room.
She heard Coco whining at the door. She quickly let it in.
Rocky followed right after. Although Rocky wasn't afraid of thunder, it sat by the bed like a guardian, seemingly protecting her.
Both Coco and Rocky were incredibly intelligent.
The continuous thunder made it hard for Maja to fall asleep. She got up and peered out the window, only to see Ian still sitting there.
Alone.
She clenched the curtain in frustration, feeling a mixture of anger and helplessness, this was why she found Ian so irritating.
He seemed to take every insult and injury for granted.
This man was definitely not wired like a normal person.
But thinking about his troubled upbringing, she could almost understand him.
She felt his gaze on her and quickly ducked behind the curtain.
She realized that even she herself became abnormal. There was no light inside the room, and he certainly couldn’t see her from the pitch black.
She went back to bed, but just as she pulled up the covers, another loud peal of thunder resounded, followed by a downpour.
Rocky, sensing that someone was outside, rushed to the window, scratching at the glass.
Maja pulled the covers over her head, trying to force herself to sleep, but Rocky started making noises this time.
Rocky didn't bark but howled!
Its howls went on and on, making her frown. Was Rocky part Siberian Husky?

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....
