Chapter 233
Maja was a bit puzzled. She hadn’t done anything to piss him off.
When she stepped into the car, she saw lan going through some documents. The suit he was wearing
wasn’t the one from yesterday. This time, it was grey, and it still looked perfect on him. The man was a
bom model
The sun was slanting onto his face, giving him a sort of noble and unapproachable vibe.
Maja settled herself in the car and shut the door
Fannie’s voice came from outside, and before long, Fannie, with a bag slung over her shoulder,
squeezed into the car as well.
“lan, I need to go to school too, and you’re heading that way, so might as well give me a lift
lan looked up, slightly lifting his chin, his tone icy, “I’m going to be in Crystalbrook Valley for a few more
days, not going back to Greenfield today
Fannie was already in the car inching as close as she could to him.
“That’s okay, I can hang out in Crystalbrook Valley.”

Maja watched the two of them squeezed together, thinking about her own status, and found it
somewhat amusing.
But she didn’t interfere, just turned to gaze out the window.
The car started moving.
On the ride, Fannie kept yakking. Seeing fan was busy with his documents, she didn’t bother him and
instead turned to chat with Maja
“You really got hitched, huh? Aren’t you worried your hubby will get jealous with you sharing a car with
other men?”
Didn’t she come here in lan’s car too?
“My husband doesn’t mind about my work”
“No man wouldn’t mind, unless he doesn’t care about you that much.”
After saying this, Fannie turned to look at fan, her eyes full of admiration.
“And being close to a man like lan, your husband should be on guard, right? How come he doesn’t
even call you?”
Now Fannie was genuinely curious. Knowing this woman was married, her hostility towards Maja
faded.
After all, a man like lan wouldn’t fall for a married woman.
Maja smiled and said, “A good marriage should give each other some space, right? Keeping a sense of
mystery is also important.”
lan paused for a moment when he heard this, thinking about her husband kissing another woman in
public.
If a marriage needs to give each other this kind of space, doesn’t that just provide opportunities for third
parties?
Fannie didn’t say anything more, she didn’t have any common topics with a married woman.
Maja pretended to rest, leaning back in the seat and closing her eyes.
She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but lan didn’t say a word, even more silent than before.
Thinking about the unexpected kiss last night, Maja frowned.
Though she hated to admit it, the soft kiss in that atmosphere was enough to make her heart flutter
What was he thinking?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut she didn’t dare to ask
She simply pretended not to hear
Two hours later, the car pulled up in front of Riverside Haven. Maja still had some business to attend to
with the Daly family, so she leaned over to thank lan
“Mr. Raymond, thank you.”
lan looked up at her and simply said. “Okay.”
His attitude was obviously cold
Maja guessed that maybe he regretted the intimate moment from last night and wanted to put some
distance between them.
But she really wanted to tell him that he overthought it
It was just a kiss
But she didn’t say it. Then she saw Fannie getting out of the car too, hooking her arm into lan’s like a
pro.
“If you’re staying here. I’ll stay here tonight too?
Jan’s eyebrows crinkled slightly, but he didn’t say anything
Fannie looked up, clearly hoping Maja would leave soon.
“If you’re leaving, have a good day, Bye, Penny.”
She clung to lan’s arm with a sweet smile, unable to hide her happiness.
