Chapter 200

+5

Maya was beside herself with excitement as she packed her bag, getting ready for the trip to Husla in case Liam called with good news for her.

One of her mottos in life was to always be prepared.

She had barely been able to sleep all night because she had been thinking about meeting her elder brother.

She wondered how he had been faring all these years and if life had been good to him. She wondered how much he remembered and if he would recognize her easily when they met.

Was he married? Did he have kids? She felt giddy at the thought of having not only a brother but a sister-in-law as well as nieces and nephews.

Thinking about it, she paused when she remembered that she had yet to tell Evelyn about this recent development.

She had never mentioned having a brother to Evelyn before or anything about what her mother had told her before she passed away.

The only reason she had told Liam about it was that it had become a burden on her mind lately and had become even more so after seeing the locket again.

She jolted when her phone began to ring, and she quickly received the call when she saw it was Liam.

"Good morning, Liam. I've been waiting for your call," she said excitedly.

Liam smiled, "You sound pretty excited," he noted.

"I am. Did you hear back from the orphanage? Have you found out about my brother's identity?" Maya asked hopefully.

Liam sighed, "About that, it seems the guy asking questions at the orphanage was contracted by your brother. For some reason, he's not interested in revealing his identity. He would rather meet with you in person," Liam said, and Maya frowned.

"Perhaps he is someone important?" She asked, wondering why else he would send someone and not want to reveal his identity.

"I considered that, too. But just to be on the safe side, I decided to schedule a meeting on your behalf. You don't have to reveal your identity to him either until you meet him," Liam said, and Maya laughed.

"I'm not someone important. It doesn't matter whether or not you reveal my identity," Maya said, and Liam raised a brow.

"You're someone important. You're important to Evelyn and Samantha. And you're my friend, so you're important to me too," Liam said, and Maya rolled her eyes but she smiled.

"I'm sure you know what I meant," she said and then sighed.

"How soon can I meet him? I'm guessing he won't share his contact details either. Perhaps he wants to see me first and decide whether or not l'm someone he wants in his life," Maya said thoughtfully.

"Let's not overthink it. I was told he wants to meet you as soon as possible. And since he was told you're in Husla, I'm expecting he would want to see you today if he too is in Husla," Liam said, and Maya glanced at her watch.

"If I leave for Husla today, I can see him in two days. Let's set up the meeting for Saturday," she said, and Liam nodded

"Have you told Evelyn yet?" He asked, and she sighed.

"No. I'm not sure I want to tell her about it until I've met with him, and I'm sure he wants me in his life," she said, and Liam paused.

"Are you always this cautious?" He asked, and she shrugged.

"I told you before. I'd rather prepare my mind for the worst and be surprised pleasantly."

"He wouldn't be trying to find you if he didn't want you in his life,"

Liam pointed out.

"Maybe. But I'll tell Evelyn about it after I reunite with him," Maya said, and Liam nodded.

"Alright. I'm sure you know best. I will set up a meeting for Saturday at a restaurant, and I'll send the details to you and them.

Let me know before you leave for Husla," Liam said, and Maya smiled

"Thank you so much, Liam. I'd never have imagined that you'd be someone l'd have to depend on in this way. Thank you," she said, her voice filled with gratitude.

"Just don't forget you owe me a hangout," he said before hanging up, making her laugh.

As Maya threw her phone on the bed, she took a deep breath as she prepared herself to go inform Evelyn that she was embarking on an impromptu trip.

Away from there, in Derek's bedroom, Evelyn looked at Derek after hanging up the call. We will go together. You don't have to do this alone," she said firmly.
