Chapter 371


    For the Raymond family, she seemed to always be some sort of bargaining chip.


    “What can that useless husband of yours offer you?”


    Maja lowered her head, upset by his derogatory remark about her husband.


    “Penny, have you made up your mind?”


    His words were like a trap, enticing and gentle, trying to lure her in.


    Maja didn’t respond, and he assumed her silence was a yes, so he lifted her up, kissing her while


    putting her on the clean table.


    Maja was breathless from his kiss, and then she felt a tingling pain in her neck.


    He was marking his territory.


    But then, Nathan’s voice came from outside the door.


    “Penny, I saw youe back just now. Did you forget something?”


    A n shed in Maja’s mind, and she quickly pushedn away.


    She got off the table and buttoned up her unbuttoned clothes, her fingers slightly trembling.


    There was a hint of mockery in hisugh.


    Maja couldn’t lift her head nor dared to look at him… After buttoning thest button, she wanted to

    Butn pulled her back, slowly pinning her hair behind her ear.


    “I’ll give you time to think, but I’m a clean freak, don’t let him touch you while you’re considering.”


    Maja stiffened, her mind a mess. She remained silent.


    After a few seconds, she finally asked, “Mr. Raymond, do you like me?”


    Admitting his feelings at this point would meanplete defeat.


    “Penny, you’re married. I’m married too. This is just a game for adults, that’s all.”


    Maja’s face turned pale, and her eyshes trembled violently.


    At this moment, she felt utterly humiliated.

    in, which gave him a secret thrill.


    He leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips.


    “Penny, a smart person should know how to choose.”


    Maja opened her mouth, but no words came out.


    She quietly opened the door and closed it.


    So Nathan didn’t see what happened inside.


    His taste of wine still lingered in her mouth, that rich and mellow vor.


    Just as Nathan was about to ask her something, seeing her eyes, he said nothing.


    When they got outside, he said, “I’ll walk you home.”


    At this point, Maja’s mind was in chaos. She needed to go home and rest, so she nodded.


    As soon asn came out, he saw her get into Nathan’s car.


    The car slowly drove away.


    He suddenly felt a tickle in his throat and wanted a smoke.


    He got into his own car and drove to the BlueSky Bar.

    usual pale lips..


    Tyler couldn’t help but lean in, taking a sniff of him.


    There was a faint perfume scent, hardly noticeable unless you tried to smell it.


    But he had a keen sense of smell; he instantly recognized it as Penny’s perfume.


    Today Maja wore this perfume as she was Sarnuel’s date.


    n, do you know what your eyes are expressing right now?”


    Someone curiously asked.


    “What’s he expressing? Mr. Raymond just got back with Ms. Shepard, right?”


    Tyler smiled and didn’t answer. He leaned closer ton and whispered so only the two of them could


    hear.


    “It looks like you’ve been sneaking around behind people’s backs.”
