Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 1416

The silence in the room deepened as Beck wrestled with the urge to come clean to Maja about her true

identity. But shame glued his feet to the floor. He felt utterly undeserving to face his sister. And the slap

mark on her cheek was so glaringly obvious. “Maja, who did this to you?” Beck asked, his voice a low

growl. If it was one of the bodyguards, he’d make sure they’d pay for it. Maja touched her swollen

cheek with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. “You might want to ask your dear older brother about that.”

Her words hit Beck like a barrage of slaps across his face. A sudden flush of heat raced through him, a

mix of heartbreak and humiliation. It was his brother? But his brother never laid a hand on women.

Beck’s fingertips trembled as they lightly brushed her cheek, and tears welled up in his eyes. Maja

froze, witnessing Beck’s tears for the first time. What was this playboy crying for? Beck knew his

reaction was over the top, but he couldn’t help it. He raised a hand to wipe away his tears, but they only

fell faster. “I’m sorry, Maja, really, I’m sorry.” “Umm.” Maja was at a loss, tugging at Ian’s sleeve, silently

pleading for him to say something. But Ian, still reeling from her earlier silence, felt like his heart was

being pricked by needles. After a few seconds, his tears started to fall silently too. Maja didn’t want his

child. No matter what he did now, it seemed like nothing could make up for his past mistakes. Maja

looked up to meet his tearful gaze. Then turned to face Beck’s tears. She suddenly didn’t know what to

say. She understood why Ian cried. The pain of her not wanting their child was evident. But why was

Beck joining in on this emotional turmoil? She reached out and gently grasped Ian’s fingertips. Ian’s

eyelashes quivered, he turned away, silently tightening his grip on her hand, still saying nothing. With a

sigh, Maja turned back to Beck. “Mr. Sanders, if it was your brother who hit me, why are you

apologizing? And why the tears?” Beck didn’t speak, his tears flowing like a broken faucet, more

abundant by the second. He even embraced Maja, sobbing loudly. Maja shuddered, wanting to push

him away, but Beck clung to her like an octopus. She called out urgently to Ian. “Do something, will

you? Don’t just stand there.” Ian remained still, silently wiping away his own

tears. With no other option, Maja sat stiffly, like a wooden statue. After ten minutes, Beck’s crying

subsided. “I’m sorry, so sorry.” Maja offered a small smile. “Are you afraid we’ll retaliate against the

Sanders family?” At her question, Beck’s heart sank. Telling Maja now, that she was the lost daughter

of the Sanders family, might only make her despise her roots. He opened his mouth, then closed it, a

wry smile tugging at his lips as he shook his head. “No, I just got too emotional. Ian, take her to rest.”

Ian didn’t respond, just silently led Maja out of the room. After a step, Ian halted, then walked back to

her and knelt down, offering her a piggyback ride. Maja felt a surge of warmth. She was indeed too

weak to walk. She rested her head on his shoulder, only seeing his profile. He was so handsome, it

was almost criminal. But the thought of the child inside her dampened her feelings. She had a lot to

consider. Ian carried her into the elevator, both not saying goodbye to Beck. Beck stood alone in the

room, finally wiping his face after a long while. He then made a call to Dylan. Dylan picked up, Judith’s

tear-streaked face still in front of him. She had just fallen asleep, her eyelashes damp. And after being

kicked in the stomach, she’d vomited blood again. Seeing Beck’s number, Dylan let out a cold laugh

before answering, ready to take the offensive. “How dare you call me after what you did? Judith

vomited blood three times because of your kick!” Upon hearing this, Beck was enraged. “I didn’t know!”

As he roared these words, it was almost a bellow.
