Chapter 1305
Zoey’s heart skipped a beat as she saw the name scribbled on the note–it was that man.
“Cousin, what’s up? Coming over now? But what if I don’t want to? It’s not like you need to meddle in my business.
The family dinner is all about you anyway. It won’t matter
if I show up or not.”
The man brushed against Zoey casually, smirking as he noticed her shivering with fear
“Besides, I found a pretty little thing on my way over Haven’t had a taste yet, and I sure ain’t eager to leave her
behind.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before the voice inquired, “Who’s going to clean
up your mess this time?”
Enraged, the man holding Zoey roughly tore at her dress
“What do you mean clean up my mess? Born into this family, I can do as I please. You don’t play, so don’t dictate
how I livel Don’t think I’m oblivious to everyone kissing your feet Without the power in your hands, they’d never
grovel at your feet.”
“Let go of me Let me go!”
Zoey struggled fiercely, eventually tumbling out of the man’s arms and collapsing onto the floor
The man clicked his tongue in annoyance I’d advise you to be obedient I’m not above getting rough with a lady. If
you don’t satisfy me, I swear I’ll end you tonight”

recognized Zoey’s voice.
But Zoey was supposed to be safe in the car
“Surt yourself,” he said curtly before hanging up
Meanwhile, Zoey clutched her dress tightly, her face pale as death.
The man crouched down and pulled her to her feet.
“Lucky you, catching my eye Hurry up, and when we’re done, I’ll give you $300,000”
The figure stung Zoey to the core
Unable to stand it any longer, she slapped him across the face and fled in disarray.
Stunned, the man touched his cheek and spat bitterly after a long pause.
Damn, got nothing and caught a slap for my troubles”
Zoey’s ordeal that night was harrowing. When she realized he wasn’t following her, her legs nearly gave way
After a relatively smooth journey home, she couldn’t help but clutch her blanket tightly and sob into her pillow once
she lay in bed.
Maja’s vision hadn’t returned yet.
Since coming back from the office, lan had been taking care of her, even bringing her a bowl of homemade chicken
soup.
She wanted to feed herself, but he insisted gently, “Open up
Reluctantly, she complied, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that lan seemed downcast Shouldn’t he be happy she
was recovering?
After the meal lan went to the kitchen to wash the dishes
Maja reached for her phone and sent him a voice message
Ilan is there something you re not telling me?]
(if I’ve done something to upset you, please forgive me ]
She deliberately softened her tone, still feeling guilty about the accident
lan, busy with the dishes hadn’t checked his phone Skipping breakfast and tending to Maja had left him with no
appetite.
Maja, hearing the tap run for minutes on end, cautiously made her way to the kitchen
“lan? Did you forget to turn off the faucet?”
Snapping back to reality, lan hastily turned off the water
“No, just cleaning up
As he tried to put the dishes away, his hands shook, and the plates crashed to the floor.
Maja, at the kitchen doorway heard the breakage and stepped forward
“Don’t come in! There are shards all over you might get cut
lan quickly stopped her picking up the pieces from the floor.
Maja expressed her concern. If you’re not good at dishwashing, let someone else do it Why bother doing it
yourself?”

It wasn’t about washing dishes lan feared losing control of his emotions in front of her.
She might be blind, but she could sense his restlessness
“Maja, I’ll clean up the mess on the floor, and then I’ll help you back to the couch.”
He escorted her to the couch, but as he was about to leave, she wrapped her legs around his warst
She reached for his tie, pulling him fiercely toward her
Ian bent down, their faces inches apart.
“Ian, I want you.”
Usually it was lan who initiated, but this was the first time she’d said those words

in the silence, her lips found his throat. He groaned softly
had him on edge
“Maja, stop. I need to clean up the kitchen.”
Har lips moved to his, and he cursed quietly, lifting her onto the clean, disinfected dining table.
Feeling self–conscious, she whispered, “Should we go to the bedroom?”
“Are you shy now?” lan teased
Maja felt her senses heightened, especially in her blindness
“Don’t worry, no one dares to look. I’ll take good care of you”
The bright lights of the dining room seemed to expose everything but lan’s reassuring words were all she needed to
let go
