"Quinn, you're gonna be set up on sblind dates. Day after tomorrow, you're coming back to North America with me. Your brother's got his hands full running the family business, and as for you? You've been loafing around long enough. Tto get serious about settling down. I want you hitched within three months, so you can focus on finding the one when we get back." Beck's head started buzzing like a beehive at the thought.
"C'mon, Dad, even big bro isn't married yet. What's the rush for me?" As the words left his mouth, Augus slammed his hand on the table.
"Have the nerve to bring up your brother? While Court's been busting his chops at the company, you've been throwing money around on women like there's no tomorrow. You best listen up, I'm giving you more than enough twith three months." Beck shot a desperate look at Dylan for help.

And so, he ignored the calls.
Beck tried reaching out to Maja for support, but it was always lan who answered, deliberately changing the subject to avoid any talk of matchmaking in front of Maja.
When the final day arrived, Augus practically dragged Beck back hfor the arranged meetings.
With Beck gone, lan couldn't have been happier-no more early morning intrusions at Greenfield Gardens to irk him.
No more dragging Maja into discussions about secret levels in games.
He poured all his energy into Maja, eagerly awaiting their child's arrival.

"What have you guys prepared for the baby?" lan frowned, scrutinizing the message as if it were a mirage.
Felix, the guy who hardly ever spoke up, had actually initiated a conversation.
"Why do you ask?" lan wasn't fond of Felix, knowing that getting too chummy with him would surely put him on Maja's chopping block.

"Feeling a bit pumped. Fancy a drink together?" Felix inviting him out was out of character.
