NovelEnglishMaja rolled out of bed, her feet sinking into the plush carpet beneath her. She pushed open the bedroom door, only to find the
hallway occupied.
There stood three men.
Flanked by Fitch and Tyler, Beck looked a tad uneasy.
"I've been searching non-stop. How would | know?"
"What do you mean you don't know? Jesus, Beck, you got beef with lan or something? You want to pick a new beau for your sis? |
remember you two brawling once. You've had it in for him all along, haven't you?"
Beck's face darkened with anger. "Tyler."
His eyes caught Maja as she emerged, and he quickly lowered his voice, "Maja has been on edge lately. Let's not rile her up with
this talk, okay?"
Tyler instantly raised his hands in surrender, signaling his lips were sealed.
Maja managed a faint smile, and her mood seemed stable.
They moved to the living room, and her gaze lingered on Fitch.
Fitch had a vibe similar to Dylan's but he was colder and more rigid. Even with his own sister Mia, he rarely smiles. Yet Dylan had

"Fitch, how's Zoey been?"
Fitch went abroad mainly to avoid strouble, but even here, he couldn't escape the mention of Zoey.
He didn't respond, his eyes fixed on the coffee on the table.
Tyler jumped in hastily, "She's great. Your company's been killing it lately. | bet you missed the live-stream. Cornelia and Shawn
nabbed awards. Wilma took hthe newcomer prize. You guys swept the acting categories. The endorsement deals must be
rolling in. Zoey's probably swamped."
Maja let out a noncommittal "Oh."
Suddenly remembering that the Bennitt family had crossed Maja before, and Wendy was someone she had taken down herself,
Tyler laughed awkwardly.
"Con, you're about to be a mom and still holding grudges? | had nothing to do with the Bennitts' deeds."
Did Maja not know Tyler's nature? He loved chaos, and lived for the , all for the so-called inspiration for his scripts.
When she was with lan, Tyler had never missed a chance to stir the pot.
The thought of lan caused Maja's lashes to flutter down, and she fell silent.
With lan’s nunexpectedly dropping into the conversation, Tyler looked questioningly at Beck.
Beck quickly had a servant bring in a platter of fruit.
"Maja, have something to eat. You just woke up. Hungry?"
"Still no word from him?"
"Nothing."
Maja had grown accustomed to disappointment. Now, staring at the fruit spread on the coffee table, she didn't know what to say.
Tyler tried to console her, "lan's a tough guy; he'll be fine. Just focus on eating well and getting healthy. If you're bored, you could
always visit Greenfield. Your team is probably eager for your return. Oh right, isn't Carol getting married next month? Aren't you
going to the wedding?"
Maja had been feeling incredibly sleepy these days, and her mind was foggy upon awakening.
Not finding lan, she felt her soul had been ripped out.
It suddenly stroke her that Carol was indeed getting married.
Tyler leaned back, tossing an apple in his hand.
"Besides, Carol's dad is behind bars. She must be feeling terrible. That Felix is not an easy guy to deal with. She used to hang out
at the BlueSky Bar, but | haven't seen her around lately. Makeswonder if she's been kept at home."
A buzz rang in Maja's head as the jail was brought up. "Wait, Carol's dad is in jail? Why? What happened with Felix?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTyler's heart skipped a beat. He had assumed Maja already knew, but apparently, she was clueless.
He becvisibly uneasy; it was guilty for him to make Maja, who was pregnant, learn of more unhappy news.
"Ha, | was just rambling."
Fitch gave Tyler a look that screamed "idiot."
Maja snatched the apple he was still holding.
"What's happened with the Millers?"
