He nudged the bowl towards her again and frowned in confusion, as if silently asking, “Don’t you want to eat them?

Go on.”

The atmosphere in the private dining room was strange, though he seemed to be the only one oblivious to it.

Maja didn’t touch her fork, instead engaging in a quick conversation with Director Drew about the film.

Despite this, Ian ladled another bowl of turtle soup and pushed it towards her.

It was like a deja vu, leaving everyone speechless.

Maja heard Judith say, “Ian, I want some soup too.”

Ian put down his ladle, his brow furrowed in annoyance. “Did your hand fall off?”

The comment cast a weird tension over the room, making even Director Drew uncomfortable.

Maja quickly stood, “Director Drew, let’s conclude our discussion about the film here. If there’s anything else to add,

feel free to reach out to Star Movie group.”

Director Drew, eager to leave, shook her hand promptly.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, rest assured.”

He then turned to Ian, “Mr. Raymond, let’s call it a day.”

Ian looked displeased, as Maja hadn’t eaten the crab or the turtle soup.

Upon leaving the room, he called over the manager and instructed, “Pack ten crabs for Ms. Pennyfeather.”

The manager was stunned, but quickly went to relay the instructions to the kitchen.

In less than three minutes, ten crabs were delivered to Maja’s car.

She looked surprised, “I didn’t order this.”

“Ms. Pennyfeather, please take it. Mr. Raymond insisted,” the manager replied.

Not wanting to cause a scene, Maja accepted the box.

Zoey, who was driving, couldn’t help but frown. She had been parked here the whole time and had seen Ian and

Judith enter the restaurant. What was Ian up to now?

Back at the company, Maja distributed the crabs among the late-working staff.

She really thought Ian needed to see a therapist.

Upon hearing that Maja had accepted the crabs, Ian was pleased.

Back at Greenfield Gardens, he took a shower and then went to his study to work.

However, he couldn’t help but wonder what Maja’s feelings for Eric were now that the child was no longer in the

picture.

He took out his phone, thought for a while, and finally sent a message.

He first sent a question mark to make sure he hadn’t been blocked, then sent another message.

[Since you didn’t bear a child for him, does that mean you’re really willing to bear one for me?]

All men love to compare, but Ian’s words really hit Maja where it hurt.

Having lost a child was a deeply personal tragedy for her. Especially since Ian had once cruelly said that the child

deserved to die.

So, upon seeing his message, she immediately blocked him.

He really was sick.

Ian, unaware that he had been blocked, began to recall what he had said that day.

Then he realized, if Maja hadn’t been pregnant, wouldn’t his words have been a curse on their lost child?

He quickly composed a text.
