Chapter 115


    When Connie spoke, her voice became softer, and her gaze at Coco was full of affection.


    *Coco is as cute as a button, just like that puppy Penny, where do you live? Can Ie and visit


    often?”


    As she finished speaking. Connie nced behind her, where a path seemed to lead to a luxurious vi


    area


    This ce was super pricey. The best vis were snapped up as soon as they went on sale. Seeing


    Pennying from there, it seemed she was pretty well–off.


    Maja caught on to her thoughts and quickly cleared the air


    “I just happened to be passing by this area. It’s a great ce to walk the dog, with great views. I don’t


    actually live here. I’ve just moved out of my rental ce and I’m about to move again. I’ll let you know


    once I’ve found a suitable ce.”


    Connie didn’t doubt her and continued to pet Coco’s head, ying with it.


    Maja nced at the sketchpad behind Connie and noticed that her drawing was only half–finished. It


    looked like Connie hadn’t been here long.


    “Arent you going to keep drawing?”


    Reluctantly removing her hand from Coco’s head, Connie picked up her brush with a hint of


    annoyance.


    “I don’t have time tonight. I have to finish the drawing now. Ugh, it’s homework for tomorrow.”


    *1’ll take Coco somewhere else to y. Oh, by the way, happy birthday. I’ll give you your present


    If she was going to a birthday party, she definitely needed to bring a gift.


    What Maja had prepared was all the notes she had organized from her previous practices, all of which


    were her most important painting experiences.


    Connie didn’tck anything. Giving her jewelry or something like that would be kinda tacky.


    “Okay, thank you. Since you’re still renting, don’t splurge on a gift. I really don’t need anything.”


    “Don’t worry, you’ll love it.”


    After exchanging a few pleasantries, Maja didn’t dare to hang around there any longer, worried she’d


    bump into someone she knew.


    She was about to take Coco and leave when, nearly at Rosewood Manor, she sawn’s car slowly


    driving by. He was also headed to Rosewood Manor.


    Maja froze, almost reflexively stopping and pulling Coco behind arge tree.


    Now thatn knew her identity, was heing to question her?


    The driver, Jeff, noticed her. He nced at the rear–view mirror and saw thatn was still in a meeting.


    He wasn’t sure if he should telln.


    From theer of his eye,n also caught a glimpse of her outside the window. He thought he was


    seeing things.


    He wanted to take another look, but the car had already moved a bit farther away. Maja had


    disappeared in the rear–view mirror.


    It’s Ms. Penny. She seems to be walking her dog.”


    It seems he wasn’t seeing things.


    A hint of confusion shed throughn’s eyes, but he didn’t think much of it.


    When the car arrived at Rosewood Manor, he got out.


    Maria, at the door, was surprised to see him return.


    “Mr. Raymond.”


    “Mm–hmm.”


    Walking into the living room,n noticed that the woman wasn’t there. His brows furrowed.


    Why was she always out?


    His grandfather never mentioned that she had a stable job. To this day she was still working part–time.


    After all, what the Raymond family could provide her was more than enough for her to lead a quality


    life.


    “Where is she?”


    Mana was very respectful. She didn’t dare say that Maja was out walking the dog, because then Mr.


    Raymond would know there was a dog in Rosewood Manor, which might make him very angry. “Ms.


    Pennyfeather is out handling some business. She should be back soon.”


    “Alright”

    His grandfather insisted that he go with Maja, so tonight Maja had to ride in his car.


    He wasn’t exactly thrilled about it, but considering grandfather’s health, he had no choice but to y


    along with this woman.
