"Nope."
His voice was flat, clearly not wanting to talk about that guy.
Maja never asked about Ian and Eric's situation, but she knew too well that Eric was quite the darling in the Raymond family, while Ian was often overlooked.
She dropped the topic and sat quietly in the passenger seat.
Upon reaching the old house, she followed Ian up the stairs.
They came to a room that was locked from the outside, clearly unused for a long time.
Ian went to fetch the keys from the butler, who added a cautionary note.
"Young master, please don't fiddle with the stuff inside. Grandma Edith used to go in there frequently."
It's no secret that Edith favored Eric most.
Ian unlocked the door, revealing a room filled with the musty smell of dust.
The curtains were drawn, making the room quite dim.
Just as Maja was about to step in, the butler stopped her.
"Ms. Pennyfeather, Grandma Edith once said that only a select few of the Raymond family can enter this room."
What he meant was that not even all the Raymonds were allowed in, and since she wasn't one of them, she'd better stay outside.
Thinking of Edith's past behavior, Maja held back. Though Edith had left Greenfield, she might come back any day, and Maja didn't want to stir up any trouble.
Ian pulled back the curtains and went over to a shelf, atop which were gifts from Eric.
Just some small tokens.
He checked each one but found no clues related to the information he had.
His gaze fell on a photo of him and Eric. They shared some resemblance, with Eric looking more gentle.
Ian was a bit colder in comparison.
His big brother was only two years older than him.
Without lingering on the photo, he turned to Maja.
"Do you think I look like him?"
But there was no response. Turning his head, he saw Maja standing at the doorway, not coming in.
Maja heard Ian's question, but she couldn't see a picture. She could only see a photo in Ian's hand from where she stood.
"Well, being brothers, you must have some similarities."

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....
