In the bedroom.
Maisie Miller looked at Mason Miller, reigning in her emotions as she pleaded.
"Mason, could you step out for a moment? I need to have a word with Gideon."
Mason was still worried about her, but since she asked him to leave, he couldn't press the issue and simply got up to walk out.
As he stepped out of the room, he spotted Ivy Sawyer walking by with her head down.
He closed the distance in two strides and blocked her path.
"What exactly is wrong with my sister?"
Ivy halted. Facing this man who held such deep hostility toward her, she felt a wave of intimidated apprehension.
She didn't even dare to look up at him.
"I'm not sure what's going on with Ms. Miller."
"She looked terrible when she came back. I asked her what happened, but she wouldn't tell me."
Mason figured Maisie's tears had nothing to do with Ivy.
He asked again, "Where is Stella?"
"She should be in the room. I'm heading over to keep her company now."
Ivy sidestepped Mason and made her way to the room.
Remembering that this was Sebastian's child, Mason followed along.
He had brought the child here because he wanted to raise her, to become half a father to her.
So, he needed to carve out time to bond with the little girl.
Inside Maisie's room.
Seeing Mason close the door behind him, Maisie looked at Gideon Quinn standing before her.
This man was the same age as Mason, making him nine years older than her.
She thought about how she had loved him since she was a little girl.
After finally winning his heart, she now had to force herself to make the agonizing choice to walk away.
Maisie's heart shattered. Fighting to keep her emotions in check, she leaned against the headboard and lowered her gaze, entirely unable to meet Gideon's eyes.
"Gideon, I don't want to do this anymore. Let's break up."
Gideon was momentarily stunned, thinking he had misheard.
He let out a soft chuckle and reached out to feel her forehead. "Are you running a fever? What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"
