Chapter 451
Right now, lan was standing behind Maja, his chest against her back, also looking out the window.
Maja seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat.
Actually, last night, when she helped lan dry his hair, he quietly hugged her. She suddenly had the feeling lan was feeling sad.
Maybe women were naturally prone to motherly feelings. At that moment, she could somewhat understand his feelings.
Just like she’s often abandoned by others.
But would lan be like that?
He’s a top–tier success. All he had to do was snap his fingers, and countless people were willing to help him unconditionally.
So she dismissed her feelings.
After that, lan resumed his dominant attitude.
As if that moment of vulnerability was just an illusion,
lan distanced himself from her and made a call to the person in charge, saying he was safe here and not to worry; he would wait in the cabin.
The people in the villa finally breathed a sigh of relief wiping the sweat off their foreheads.
The servant in the villa said, “Mr. Raymond might have gone to find that lady.”
“That lady might have already left in her car.”
The people in charge looked at each other. They didn’t expect someone like lan to have a moment of confusion.
Going out in this weather, whether he could come back safely was a question.
But he didn’t seem to hesitate.
Someone looked at Daly; everyone knew Maja was related to Daly.
Daly looked a bit upset. He felt humiliated, especially considering Maja’s reputation at Solstice College in Crystalbrook Valley. Everyone thought she would achieve great things, only to see her with the big boss.
Daly felt like he had lost his face too.
So facing everyone’s gazes, he felt embarrassed and went out for a smoke.
Bob quickly followed.
They were both just drivers, with no say in the matter.
In the afternoon, the person in charge was willing to talk to Daly simply because he was related to Maja.
“Daly, don’t mention this to your family. Let it be.” Bob consoled him.
Daly, still angry, lit up another cigarette.
“Who could I tell? I just feel like I let down my sister!”
Bob knew his family situation and sighed.
“Hey, young girls, who doesn’t like the rich? Mr. Raymond is handsome and wealthy. Maja took a wrong turn, but she’ll come around.”
“If her husband finds out, everyone will lose face! Our whole family takes pride in Maja. After all, she’s a graduate of Solstice College; only a few come out of Crystalbrook Valley every few years! Let’s drop it; I think the girl is just dazzled by the outside world.”
Daly took a few more puffs.
Bob comforted him for a while before leaving him with a final word.
“Is Olivia carrying a boy or a girl? That guy, Leo, has started working; you should be feeling a lot lighter.”
Mentioning Leo and Olivia, Daly visibly relaxed.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
