Chapter 604
lan’s behaviour reminds me of those schoolboy antics where he’d do annoying things on purpose just to get the attention of the girl he liked. Even if he’s met with a glare, at least he’s got her attention.
Is his idea of romance still stuck at that kindergarten level?
As expected, Maja’s face darkened.
Every time he casually said a few words, it always stirred up her anger, so her words tended to be a bit sharp.
“Mr. Raymond, no matter how useless my husband might be, he’s still better than you. At least he doesn’t try to possess me.”
Ian’s face immediately changes, and Tyler, who’s nearby, sees the fight brewing and quickly steps in to mediate.
“lan, Penny, both of you need to cool it. There’s a birthday party going on. Let’s not ruin the vibe.”
Speaking of which, tomorrow’s lan’s birthday. He’s turning 24.
Tyler couldn’t help but glance at Maja. Does she know?
Does he need to remind her?
But looking at the two of them now, even if he did remind her, she wouldn’t bring a gift.
Maja calmed down after hearing Tyler’s mediation.
lan didn’t say anything, but his hand held her fingers tightly, refusing to let go.
Someone pushed a cake in, the birthday person had already started cutting the cake, and everyone went to get a piece. Although none of these people were particularly fond of sweets, they still had a few bites out of courtesy.
lan let go of her hand and went to get a small piece of cake himself.
The birthday person looked surprised to see him come over.
Usually at these events, lan kept to himself in the corner until it was over.
The others also fell silent for a moment, but lan didn’t notice the change. He placed the piece of cake in front of Maja.
Maja didn’t like sweets either, especially cake.
“Mr. Raymond, I’m not eating this.”
lan raised his hand, forked a small piece, and held it up to her mouth.
“Have a taste.”
Maja turned her head away. “I don’t like sweets.”
lan didn’t say anything. He quietly put the fork in his mouth and ate the piece of cake on it.
Maja was a bit surprised when she saw him put down the fork with a disappointed look.
She thought he would force her to eat it, so she sighed in relief.
Soon after, she saw Jeff come in and hand lan a box of a hangover cure.
lan opened the packaging, inserted a small straw, and held it to her mouth.
“Have a sip.”
Maja frowned a bit, and she did drink a bit too much just now. After all, there was a lot she needed to get off her chest, and her emotions were running high.
She didn’t refuse the hangover cure.
lan looked at her, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, “See, being with me isn’t that bad, is it?”
Maja was taken aback. You gave me a hangover cure, and that’s supposed to be a good thing?
Compared to the harm you’ve done to me, this is nothing.
She immediately didn’t want to drink the hangover cure anymore. She put it in his palm.
“Here, you have it back.”
lan’s expression became even more serious. He tightly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
“I have my limits.”
In less than a minute, he showed his true colours.
Maja found this amusing and looked up at him.
But in their current position, one sitting in the other’s lap, one looking up, the other looking down, looked like they were flirting from any angle.
But in reality, their eyes were filled with tension and unease.
“Mr. Raymond, maybe you should try looking for someone else. It doesn’t have to be me. It would be better for both of us. Don’t you think?”
Tyler really had nothing to say about these two. They were both so stubborn.
He didn’t want to meddle anymore, anyway. He always thought that even though lan liked Penny now, it was just a temporary thrill. He’ll lose interest in
her in less than six months.
So, let them continue their drama.
After all, if lan isn’t willing to woo her, no one can force him.
After Tyler left, lan grabbed Maja’s wrist and left the private room.
Maja followed behind him, unable to resist asking, “Mr. Raymond, what are you planning to do?”
“You’re coming with me to a hotel tonight.”
Tomorrow’s his birthday, he wants to spend it with her.
Maja stopped in her tracks, she felt very awkward.
They had already concluded ten transactions, but in his eyes, she was still a woman who was at his beck and call.
She took a deep breath and suddenly pulled her hand away.
“Mr. Raymond, if you dare to do anything without my consent, I will sue you.”
She didn’t want to go through the ordeal of being trapped in a room with him for two days again.
lan’s eyes narrowed, and then he gave a slight smile.
“So, do you agree?”
“I refuse.”
Her tone was calm, and she took out her phone to check the time.
“It’s late, and someone’s waiting for me at home. I need to go.”
The person she was referring to was Maria and even her pet dog Coco:
Ever since she divorced lan, her life has been much more peaceful.
She was such a fool, let herself get into trouble again just because of his kindness.
There’s absolutely no chance for her and this man!
Wohh just what I was looking for, thankyou for posting.
