It was still raining heavily outside, and Maja’s voice could be clearly heard in the quiet compartment.
Ian’s fingers paused, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
Maja didn’t pay attention to his reaction; after all, her compliment was just casual chit-chat.
She closed her eyes, wanting to take a quick nap, when the car jolted.
She leaned her head towards him unconsciously, and the distance between the two of them shortened
in an instant. Heavy rain, slippery roads, and more and more vehicles on the road. They were stuck for
half an hour before the car slowly started moving.
To avoid the awkwardness when they were alone together, Maja chose to doze off during this half
hour.
She had been having trouble sleeping lately, and the sound of the rain outside was just too lulling.
Before she knew it, she had actually fallen asleep.
Jeff, sitting in the front, didn’t notice the atmosphere in the back seat until he saw a reckless driver in
the rearview mirror.
The car hit them instantly, and the whole body bumped forward. With this collision, Maja was about to
hit the window. fan frowned and pulled her back.
The woman’s limp body fell straight upside down following the inertia. Maja was deep in sleep, only
feeling like she had hit a very comfortable “pillow” with warmth. She subconsciously embraced it,
snuggled into a comfortable position, and fell back asleep.
lan’s grip on her arm stopped abruptly, and she lay in his arms, breathing right there. That’s the most
sensitive part of a man.
His gaze darkened and he looked down at her.
Maja was fast asleep, her long hair spread out, revealing her delicate little face. There were faint dark
circles on her eyelids.
The light in the car was dim, she looked quiet, weak and moving.
lan watched her for a moment and simply didn’t care about him, but turned his head to look out the
window, trying to calm down. When Maja woke up, she rubbed her eyes. Noticing a chin in her line of
sight, she jolted upright.
lan’s brows furrowed as he slightly lifted his chin, “Here we are, get out of the car.”
It was hard to tell if he was angry or something else.
The rain had stopped outside. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Mr. Raymond, see you next time.”
Feeling awkward, Maja quickly thanked him and didn’t dare to look at his face. Once she got out of the
car, she practically ran into her apartment without looking back. Before she even entered her room, she
felt something strange.
There was a gap left at the door that was supposed to be closed. She stood at the door, recovered
from the embarrassment just now, and opened the door vigilantly. The apartment was a mess, like it
had been robbed.
The bedroom door was also ajar, but she didn’t dare to go in, instead calling the police right away
It was only when the police arrived that she followed them in. After confirming that nothing was missing,
she breathed a sigh of relief.
The apartment was obviously no longer safe. If there was another break-in while she was home, what
would happen?
A woman living alone dare not imagine such a scene. She packed some clothes and all her work stuff
she needed.
By the time she arrived at Rosewood Manor by taxi, it was already late.
Maja paid the fare, and the security guard at the gate immediately opened the gate respectfully when
he saw her.
This was the wedding house given to her and lan by Holden Raymond when they got married. But lan
was abroad at the time, he probably didn’t even know this place existed.
