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.

pon seeing him, Holden’s eyes widened, “I bet you timed this just right, Maja Just left and here you

are!”

in felt a little wronged; he had no idea that woman had been here.

irandpa, the doctor said you’re refusing to take your medication?”

s he finished his sentence, Connie came out of the kitchen with a bowl of medication.

rother, grandpa was refusing, but after meeting your wife, he’s willing to have some now.”

her hand, she held a dark–colored medicinal concoction. Over the years, Holden had been taking

meds, and there was no room for any delays.

n heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed that woman did come in handy. But Holden’s next words made his

face darken instantly.”

in, Maja said she’s willing to have your child, which puts me at ease. I thought she didn’t like you, and

wouldn’t want to have your child. Now that she’s willing, you should do your part id get Maja pregnant

as soon as possible.”

n’s gaze turned icy. Of course, she wanted a child, that would completely entangle the Raymond family.

had thought her not showing up last night was a sign of understanding, but behind his back, she was

secretly discussing having his child with Holden, even saying she was willing to

Iso. How ironic.
