Ian had meant to wrap his arms around her waist, but seeing her retreat so suddenly, almost knocking over the potted fern nearby, caused him to pause.
"Maja!"
He called out, taking large strides to check on her.
Maja curled into herself, her mind in turmoil.
She fumbled to rise from the floor.
"Ian, I need to rest. My head hurts."
Her fingertips brushed against the wall. Not waiting for Ian's response, she moved away.
Ian rushed to follow, but as Maja reached the corridor, she heard a woman's voice.
"Has Mr. Raymond been home today? I've visited several times recently and he hasn't met with me. My belongings are still at Greenfield Gardens."
Footsteps echoed from outside, growing steadily closer.
Jolin looked up, seeing Maja. Recognizing the similar features, she instantly knew this was the woman Ian had fallen for.
Maja simply looked in the direction of the approaching footsteps, not saying a word, and tried to move away.
Jolin raised an eyebrow. So, this woman was blind?
A sense of triumph washed over her. Surely no sane man would choose a blind woman over her.
Feigning surprise at noticing Maja's condition, she offered, "Miss, can I help you? I'm familiar with this place."
Before Maja could respond, her arm was being guided. She frowned in discomfort.
"No need, thank you. Let go."
She really didn't need help, especially not from a stranger.
With her heightened senses, she could smell the woman's scent, a scent she'd once detected on Ian.
Remembering what Patric had mentioned about a woman who'd been close to Ian during her absence, Maja felt a pang of discomfort.

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....
