Chapter 232

The moment the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward.

Holding his cup, lan took a casual sip of his coffee.

Maja, on the other hand, was momentarily flustered by the question.

But she quickly composed herself, lowered her eyes and said nonchalantly, “Yes, I did go out for a night

without returning home. My husband

called me.”

As she said this, she turned to look at Fannie with a slight smile.

This was the first time Fannie had heard of her being married. She felt a little embarrassed and realized

her previous prejudice was somewhat

ridiculous.

She coughed lightly and heard Felton speak up at that moment.

“Fannie, you owe her an apology. You can’t just say things like that. Good thing Penny is easy-going

and didn’t take it to heart”

At that point, Fannie didn’t continue to pick on her and quickly apologized sincerely, Tm sorry, I didn’t

know that you were married.”

If she had known earlier that Maja was a married woman, she wouldn’t have picked on her the previous

day.

“You got married at such a young age, your husband must be quite impressive, right?”

Maja smiled, obviously very fond of her husband.

“Yes, to everyone, he certainly is the best.”

Fannie, being young, doesn’t know how to give people some leeway.

“So, you’re saying that in your heart he’s not the best?”

Maja just smiled, without answering

Meanwhile, lan, who was sitting next to her, was lightly touching the rim of his cup, seemingly oblivious

to their conversation.

Fannie didn’t want to put Maja in an awkward situation any longer, her smile became much more

sincere.

“I get it. There are people that you used to like, but not the one you married, right? Your husband is the

one you married, but you must have liked someone else before.”

Finally, Felton couldn’t help but scold her, “You talk too much, anyone would be annoyed by your

words. Penny, I’m sorry, I spoiled her.”

Maja looked up and smiled calmly at Felton.

“Fannie is an innocent girl.”

She didn’t speak or answer Fannie’s question after that as Fannie continued chatting with lan

But the vibe around lan became much colder.

After dinner, when they were about to leave, Maja received a phone call from Susan. She was

stuttering, so Maja knew something was wrong

“What happened?”

“Maja, are you coming back?”

Maja had a feeling that this was related to Leo. She frowned, “Yes, I’m coming back today.”

Susan hesitated for a while before finally sighing, “I didn’t want to disturb you, but I had no choice: Leo

got into a fight and sent someone to the hospital. Our whole family is trapped in the house by those

people. They outnumber us…

With that, Maja laughed out of frustration. But after all, Susan was her relative.

“Why did Leo get into a fight? Where is he now?”

Susan glanced at Leo, who was smoking in the corner, and lowered her voice.

“He’s smoking. Oli hasn’t come back either, and I can’t reach her. Maja, I don’t know what to do.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a commotion could be heard outside. The neighbors had all

gathered to watch.

Susan carefully held her phone, looking very humble.

Maja took a deep breath.

“Let’s talk when I get there. I’ll be there in about two hours. Try to avoid conflict with them in the

meantime. Have you called the police?”

“We have, but Leo hit a higher-up’s son, so…

Maja felt her blood pressure rising slightly, her lips twitched.

“Let’s talk when I get back.”

As soon as she hung up, she heard footsteps behind her. Out of the comer of her eye, she saw lan

walk past her, and get into the black car in front

fust.

His vibe was unusually cold.

Colder than ever before.
