"No, dining with him was just to prevent him from spouting nonsense to you."
The moment she finished speaking, Ian pulled off a smile, but it didn't seem genuine.
"Afraid he'll talk nonsense to me?"
Maja pressed her lips, eyes downcast, not willing to delve into the details, because it would lead to the incident between her and Eric that night.
Ian had been investigating. Apparently, he was bothered by that night.
Not to mention him, even Maja herself was bothered.
"So, you dine with him personally, let him kiss you, hug you, just to keep him from blabbering in front of me."
He leaned slightly towards her, his voice filled with sarcasm, "You've made quite a sacrifice."
She wanted to say she couldn't move just now, but he stood up straight, his eyes growing distant.
"Eric just left. Aren't you going to go after him?"
At these words, Maja felt as if something was clenching her heart, it was unbearably painful.
Her eyes immediately reddened, her throat hurt, and her head throbbed.
Ian, however, did not look at her. He turned around and left.
On the other side, Patric was examining the drug between his fingers.
Eric had been a renowned genius at the research institute. The drugs he developed were at least twenty years ahead of current technology. This particular drug, once it touched the skin, could render the person immobile, unable to utter a word for a short period.
He sneered, turning on the faucet to wash off the drug residue from his fingers.

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....
