Maja and Ian had spent a night at the Sanders' family estate.
The next morning, the nanny came knocking.
"Ms. Pennyfeather, Mrs. Sanders requests your presence in the study."
A jolt of apprehension shot through her.
Ian, already dressed, wanted to accompany her but was stopped by the nanny.
"Sir, Mrs. Sanders only summoned Ms. Pennyfeather."
He halted, glancing at Maja.
Maja squeezed his hand, "I'll be back soon, don't worry."
"I'll wait outside the study. If anything happens, knock over a glass, and I'll come in."
"Alright."
He turned a cold gaze to the nanny.
"Mrs. Sanders didn't specify that I couldn't wait outside, right?"
The nanny hesitated, indeed there was no such rule.
Maja approached the study door and knocked. Mrs. Sanders voice called from within.
"Come in."
She pushed the door open and entered.
Only Mrs. Sanders was inside; the old man was nowhere to be seen.
She greeted her with due respect.
"Grandma."
As Mrs. Sanders's gaze fell on her, particularly when she saw her eyes, her expression softened.
"Your eyes, they're so much like Cynthia's."
It was the first time Maja had heard anyone from the Sanders family speak of Cynthia. She remained silent.
Mrs. Sanders continued.
"The fortune teller had warned us, Cynthia was bound to bring trouble. Augus could only survive by staying away from her, so we never approved of their union."
Not sure what Mrs. Sanders's aim was by bringing this up, Maja wisely kept quiet.
Mrs. Sanders set down her teacup.

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....
