Chapter 1419

His phone had been buzzing non-stop until the battery finally gave out. Clearly, he had forgotten about

the thing he had promised to Dylan, just sitting there in the lounge closest to the top floor. Ian pushed

open the door, and the grin on his face was almost blinding. After all, Beck had been mulling over how

to break the news about his identity to Maja, but seeing Ian’s smile, he just knew—Maja must have

agreed to keep the baby. “No way!” Beck slammed his hand on the table in protest, “She’s barely 25,

for heaven’s sake. Why should she suffer through childbirth for you, Ian? You’re really pushing your

luck here. You haven’t offered any gifts, there’s been no wedding, and you even kicked her out once.

Now, you two aren’t even legally bound, and you’re still on the run from the law. And you expect her to

have your child? That’s just irresponsible.” Ian slowly took a seat, “Then go upstairs and tell Maja that.

Tell her she’s the long-lost daughter of the Sanders family. See if she’ll acknowledge that.” With these

words, Beck was left speechless. His limbs felt cold, his mouth agape, and it took a moment before he

finally managed to say something. “What my brother did was wrong, but Dad has been looking for her

all along. He even said he’d give her all the Sanders shares. I hope she’ll meet with my dad.” He said it

with little conviction, knowing full well Maja probably despised the Sanders name. Now it was Ian’s turn

to call the shots, leisurely pouring himself a cup of tea. “How does the Sanders family plan to deal with

Dylan and Judith?” The implication being, if he wasn’t satisfied with their fate, he wasn’t about to let

Maja recognize her kin. Beck’s eyelashes fluttered, his hand trembling slightly. “Dad’s in a coma. Once

all of the Sanders shares are transferred to Maja, she’ll be in charge. If she doesn’t want the

responsibility, I’ll take it on for her. I’ll ensure she gets a satisfactory outcome. Ian, you know my dad

has been searching for her. He thought she was dead, aged overnight, and now he’s

bedridden, not knowing when he’ll wake up.” Ian remained silent, his fingers playing with the lid of his

teacup, eyes dark and deep. After a moment, Beck added in a hoarse voice, “If anything does happen

to my dad, it would also be a regret for Maja.” “Tomorrow, I’ll take Maja to the Sanders estate.” A spark

of hope flashed in Beck’s eyes, and he felt a surge of emotion. “Alright, alright, I get it! I’ll sleep in the

lounge tonight, and we’ll set off together in the morning!” “Suit yourself.” Ian stood up and returned to

the top floor. He climbed into bed and pulled Maja into his arms. “Maja, what do you think of Beck?”

“Beck seems like a decent guy. He helped me out a lot at first. But I never want to see Dylan again in

my life.” Ian hugged her tighter and took a deep breath, savoring her scent. “How about you come with

me to meet Mr. Sanders tomorrow? I need to discuss something with him.” Maja was worried he might

start a conflict with the Sanders family for her sake, her hands cradling his face. “You’re not planning to

confront Dylan at the Sanders estate, are you? That would be foolish. No matter what Dylan does, he’s

still Mr. Sanders’ son, and Mr. Sanders won’t take our side. Besides, we’d be on their turf, and if

anything happened, we’d have nowhere to run.” Ian chuckled and held her even closer. “Trust me, I

won’t let anything happen to you or our child.” At the mention of the word ‘child’, Maja felt a softness in

her bones. “Ian, do you think it’s a boy or a girl?” Without hesitation, Ian replied. “A girl, I hope. I want

her to be like you.” Maja didn’t respond, overcome with sleepiness, and soon drifted off in his arms. Ian

looked down at her face, gently kissed her forehead, and then, content, fell asleep with her in his

embrace. Meanwhile, at the Sanders estate. Dylan had waited for hours without seeing Beck, and he

couldn’t get through to him on the phone. When he tried again, the line was dead. He looked at the

man lying comatose on the bed, but he didn’t get angry. Augus’ white hair made him look much older.

Just a month ago, he seemed vigorous, but now he looked drained of life. Dylan felt a pang of guilt, and

just then, Judith called him at that moment.
