Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1423

Maja ignored him, her eyes quietly observing Arlene.

So alike, just too alike, yet their personalities were starkly different.

If it were Lillian, she wouldn't speak to her with that tone.

She certainly wouldn't look at her with such disdain.

Lillian's gaze was always tender, doting, as if she wished to give her all the best things in the world.

Throughout her life, whenever Maja recalled Lillian's loving look, she felt invincible.

So, who exactly was this woman standing in front of her?

Why did Mrs. Sanders bear such a striking resemblance to Lillian?

Dylan, seeing that neither of them paid him any attention, dropped the pleasantries.

"Someone, get these two out of here. And Beck, knock it off with the antics today."

Beck had reached his limit, hurling a nearby vase to the floor.

The shattering noise echoed throughout the room, bringing a hush as heavy as a fallen curtain.

"You're the ones causing a scene!" he bellowed.

He stormed up to Dylan, seizing him by the shirt.

"Dylan, who the hell do you think you're throwing out? Who are you spewing venom at? Who did you slap last night, and whose life are you trying to destroy? Take a good look at this, Dylan. This is the paternity test between Maja and Dad! Look closely, who it is you're so keen to harm, who you loathe so much?"

The paternity test smacked Dylan squarely on the head, leaving him dazed.

Despite not being short-sighted, he couldn't help but bring it close, scrutinizing every word.

He recognized each letter, but the reality they spelled out was too much to bear.

In his twenties, this was the first time he wished he could just faint.

But he couldn't. He saw everything, crystal clear.

Beck standing before him suddenly seemed smaller, his eyes rimmed red.

"Think about what you did in Greenfield. Can you even look her in the eyes now? From yesterday until today, I didn't dare tell Maja who she really is. Now, beside Dad's sickbed, I have no choice. Dad's yearning to see her, but how many times have you tried to kill her? How ironic is that? Dylan, you always talk about caring for family, doting on our little sister, yet you've tried to kill her so many times. What the hell are we doing as her brothers?"

With that, Beck broke down in tears.
