The moment the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward.
Holding his cup, lan took a casual sip of his coffee.
Maja, on the other hand, was momentarily flustered by the question.
But she quickly composed herself, lowered her eyes and said nonchalantly, “Yes, I did go out for a night
without returning home. My husband
called me.”
As she said this, she turned to look at Fannie with a slight smile.
This was the first time Fannie had heard of her being married. She felt a little embarrassed and realized
her previous prejudice was somewhat
ridiculous.
She coughed lightly and heard Felton speak up at that moment.
“Fannie, you owe her an apology. You can’t just say things like that. Good thing Penny is easy-going
and didn’t take it to heart”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that point, Fannie didn’t continue to pick on her and quickly apologized sincerely, Tm sorry, I didn’t
know that you were married.”
If she had known earlier that Maja was a married woman, she wouldn’t have picked on her the previous
day.
“You got married at such a young age, your husband must be quite impressive, right?”
Maja smiled, obviously very fond of her husband.
“Yes, to everyone, he certainly is the best.”
Fannie, being young, doesn’t know how to give people some leeway.
“So, you’re saying that in your heart he’s not the best?”
Maja just smiled, without answering
Meanwhile, lan, who was sitting next to her, was lightly touching the rim of his cup, seemingly oblivious
to their conversation.
Fannie didn’t want to put Maja in an awkward situation any longer, her smile became much more
sincere.
“I get it. There are people that you used to like, but not the one you married, right? Your husband is the
one you married, but you must have liked someone else before.”
Finally, Felton couldn’t help but scold her, “You talk too much, anyone would be annoyed by your
words. Penny, I’m sorry, I spoiled her.”
Maja looked up and smiled calmly at Felton.
“Fannie is an innocent girl.”
She didn’t speak or answer Fannie’s question after that as Fannie continued chatting with lan
But the vibe around lan became much colder.
After dinner, when they were about to leave, Maja received a phone call from Susan. She was
stuttering, so Maja knew something was wrong
“What happened?”
“Maja, are you coming back?”
Maja had a feeling that this was related to Leo. She frowned, “Yes, I’m coming back today.”
Susan hesitated for a while before finally sighing, “I didn’t want to disturb you, but I had no choice: Leo
got into a fight and sent someone to the hospital. Our whole family is trapped in the house by those
people. They outnumber us…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that, Maja laughed out of frustration. But after all, Susan was her relative.
“Why did Leo get into a fight? Where is he now?”
Susan glanced at Leo, who was smoking in the corner, and lowered her voice.
“He’s smoking. Oli hasn’t come back either, and I can’t reach her. Maja, I don’t know what to do.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a commotion could be heard outside. The neighbors had all
gathered to watch.
Susan carefully held her phone, looking very humble.
Maja took a deep breath.
“Let’s talk when I get there. I’ll be there in about two hours. Try to avoid conflict with them in the
meantime. Have you called the police?”
“We have, but Leo hit a higher-up’s son, so…
Maja felt her blood pressure rising slightly, her lips twitched.
“Let’s talk when I get back.”
As soon as she hung up, she heard footsteps behind her. Out of the comer of her eye, she saw lan
walk past her, and get into the black car in front
fust.
His vibe was unusually cold.
Colder than ever before.
