Chapter 184


    For a moment, Maja even wondered if she should juste clean withn. That way, she wouldn’t


    have to keep hiding and lying to Ryan.


    But consideringn’s attitude toward the Pennyfeather family, plus the fact that she was currently


    designing his house, it was crucial to keep a good rtionship with him to avoid any awkwardness.


    Besides,n had been a great help to her during this time.


    If she stirred up trouble, Maja would just feel overwhelmed.


    She got up, feelingpletely worn out, both mentally and physically.


    “Maria, I’m not feeling well tonight. I’ll skip dinner, no need to call me.”


    Maria seemed a bit uneasy, “Ms. Pennyfeather, I used the same excusest time, and Mr. Raymond


    was a bit displeased.”


    Maja brushed it off, “It’s okay. My rtionship with him is beyond repair anyway.”


    To be precise, it’s not her rtionship with him, but his rtionship with Mrs. Raymond.


    If Maja tried to please him as Mrs. Raymond, it would only annoy him.


    he transferred it without hesitation and reminded her to remember her ce.


    If Maja had approached him as Mrs. Raymond from the start,n would not have met with her at all.


    Maria didn’t know what to say, so she just sighed.


    There was a smell of food in the house, he had just finished a meeting and was feeling a bit tired.


    Maria immediately stepped forward to greet him.


    “Mr. Raymond.”


    After all, his father would asionally pop in for a check, so he had to stay over from time to time to


    keep his father from discovering the truth.


    “Dinner is ready, Mr. Raymond. You should eat something.”


    Maria ordered the servants to serve the food, asn sat down, he thought he heard a few dog barks.


    He frowned, looked around the room, thinking he was hearing things.


    “Where is she?”


    Although he didn’t particrly like her, as a man, he wouldn’t intentionally iste someone while


    eating.


    “Ms. Pennyfeather said she’s not feeling well.”


    glimpse of him.


    Her eyes and firm attitude could not be faked, making him feel ufortable, as if she would try to get


    closer to him even if she was on herst breath.


    So her avoiding him twice using the same excuse didn’t match the image of the woman he knew.


    But about this wife in name,n had no interest in digging deeper.


    Upstairs, Maja was working overtime on herputer.


    She had already obtained the bottom price from other material suppliers, but she had no clue about the


    cherry wood flooring, which needed to be booked three years in advance.


    She estimated that the flooring would need to be on site in six months, so she had to find a way to get


    back to Crystalbrook Valley as soon as possible.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Due to the good sales of cherry wood flooring, the person in charge of Crystalbrook Valley was very


    cautious, they hardly epted orders from anyone other than existing partners. So Maja could only


    persuade them by going to Crystalbrook Valley in person.


    But there’s no rush to leave tonight, after all, even if she left now, it would be toote, and there


    wouldn’t be much difference from


    going a few dayster.


    She checked the material forms carefully again, making sure nothing was missed, then started looking


    at the renderings on theputer, thinking about any necessary modifications.


    But just as her hand touched the keyboard, she heard a dog barking outside.


    She quickly got up and went to the window, only to see her pet dog, Coco, ying in the garden.


    She remembered that Maria should have locked it up. How could it escape?


    Ifn came back and found Coco, the consequences would be unthinkable.
