Chapter 98
A happy grin spread across Holden’s face as he gently patted her hand, “So, you’re willing to have lan’s baby?”
Maja nodded, a slight smile forming at the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of sincerity, “Yes, I am”
Holden’s smile deepened
“As long as you’re willing, that’s all that matters. Don’t worry, whether it’s a boy or a girl, I’ll love them just the same
Maja didn’t dwell on the topic, not wanting to get the old man’s hopes up too high. If things didn’t pan out, it could be a hard blow for his health. So she changed the subject and chatted with the old man for an hour before leaving the mansion.
As she was about to get in her car, she bumped into Connie
Connie was wearing large sunglasses and clearly did not anticipate running into her here. She appeared somewhat surprised.
“Penny, what brings you here?”
Connie hadn’t seen Maja come out of the mansion, and just saw her getting in her car here. Maja quickly came up with an excuse.
“I haven’t painted in a while, so I came here to find some inspiration.”
Connie chuckled, naively accepting the excuse, and started chattering away like a little sparrow
“Did you hear, Mia Haskins got released from the police station. I heard her brother, Fitch, personally went to get her. Talk about awkward. Fitch is known for his bad temper. If you ever run into him, steer clear. Or you could call my brother to help you out, but whatever you do, don’t pick a fight with him.”
If even Connie was saying this, it looked like Fitch was a tough nut to crack.
Thanks for the heads up.”
Connie got off the car, pointing towards the mansion in the distance.
Tm off to visit my grandpa, so I’ll catch you later.”
Maja nodded, waiting for her to leave before letting out a sigh of relief. She had a hunch her true identity might be exposed soon. Once grandpa returned, he’d surely invite her to a meal with the Raymond family, and she couldn’t avoid meeting the rest of the family then.
Just as she was about to get in her car, Connie came back.
“Oh, Penny, it’s my birthday party the day after tomorrow, right here in this mansion. It’s going to be a blast. Grandpa said he wants to go all out this time, for a happy vibe. There will be lots of people, will you come?”
Maja had a bad feeling about this. Sure enough, her phone rang.
On the other end was Holden’s voice.
“Maja, I forgot to tell you, it’s Connie’s birthday party the day after tomorrow, you must come.”
Maja’s lips curled into a faint smile. It seemed the day after tomorrow would be the day her identity would be revealed..
She rubbed her temples and hung up the phone, only to hear Connie still talking, “Penny, will you come? I don’t usually invite people.”
11l be there.”
Great!”
Watching Connie all excited, Maja wondered what her reaction would be if she knew she was the woman she had deemed unworthy of lan.
Oh, I heard lan’s wife will be there too. As far as I know, my brother has moved in with her. She’s so lucky.”Connie’s face instantly darkened, before letting out a sigh. “I wonder what she
boks like.”
Maja tried to reassure her, “You’ll find out soon enough. You should go in now. Do not keep your grandpa waiting.”
fter Connie left, Maja got back in her car, feeling a bit frustrated. She was even considering what she should say to apologize to lan in advance. Little did she know, not long after she left, an had arrived at the mansion.
he doctor had just called him saying that Holden was refusing to take his medication. In the Raymond family, only lan had the nerve to persuade him, so he had to put his work aside and
ome over.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
