Chapter 521


    Butn found himself feeling rather helpless.


    Should he end her life?


    He seemed to hesitate.


    Looking at her firm face, he was about to kiss her again when he heard a male voice behind him.


    “Penny.”


    It was Nathan’s voice.


    free from him.


    “Nathan?”


    Maja called out and quickly moved towards Nathan.


    Nathan nced at her and then atn. “Everything alright?”


    He wasn’t sure what had happened, but Maja looked a bit off, and from his perspective, it seemed like


    she was just forced into something.

    Nathan didn’t dare to offendn, so he simply greeted him, “Mr. Raymond.”


    Maja proposed, “Nathan, let’s go.”


    She wanted to rest. She had been worrying about her hand for the past few days and hadn’t been


    sleeping well.


    Nathan nodded, ready to leave, but heardn say, “Aren’t you curious about what she and I were doing


    just now?”


    As her husband, didn’t he have any thoughts seeing her getting so close to another influential man?


    A flicker of panic passed through Nathan’s eyes because he really didn’t know how to facen.


    He had realized some time ago thatn bore him some hostility..


    But before he could respond, Maja stared atn and calmly said,


    “Mr. Raymond and I were just discussing Greenfield Gardens.” She smiled atn and said, “We’re done


    talking now, Mr. Raymond. You can go meet your partners. Ms. Shepard is waiting for you too.”


    looked at Maja and chuckled. “Indeed, our discussion was quite intense.”


    Maja didn’t respond to this.


    move first.”


    “Take care, Mr. Raymond.”


    Asn passed by her, he suddenly stopped.


    “I don’t ept your offer of three million for three times. You need to exin your behavior tonight.”


    But thisst sentence was clearly a challenge to a man’s dignity.


    If Nathan really was Maja’s husband, he should feel severely offended now.


    But Nathan wasn’t, so he just felt embarrassed and awkward.


    With long strides,n left. The moment he walked away, his gaze turned cold.


    Nathan proposed, “I’ve booked a nearby restaurant. Let’s go have a bite there.”


    Maja nodded. She hadn’t eaten anything all day. “Alright, let’s go.”


    Both of them ignoredn after that.


    Whenn returned to the venue, he changed into a new set of clothes in the room provided by Luis.


    Those who witnessed this scene now had ambiguous expressions.


    Someone liken, being publicly humiliated by a woman and still being able to return calmly, looked


    like he had some special rtionship with that woman. Everyone knew that woman, but she was


    Herbert’s disciple andn’s interior designer. It seemed they were more than just acquaintances.


    So, people at the venue started whispering.


    “Did Carlene get dumped?n clearly went after that designer just now, right?”


    “He wanted to take a drink for her, but she didn’t appreciate it.”


    “Look at Carlene’s face; it’s as ck as the bottom of a pot.”


    Carlene was clearly upset, almost on the verge of copsing, but seeingning back, she felt


    slightly better and hurriedly greeted him.


    “Ian.” She pretended not to know about his rtionship with Penny.


    Cadene, sticking byn’s side, noticed that he was in a bad mood and radiating a cold aura.


    She suggested, “Why don’t we go to a nearby restaurant for dinner? There’s only wine at the tasting.


    You haven’t eaten all afternoon, and you might get a stomachacheter.”n didn’t initially want to go,


    but thinking that Nathan and Maja might have gone for a meal, he agreed.


    “Alright.”


    He was familiar with the surroundings but didn’t know which restaurant Nathan and Maja had gone to.


    Luck was on his side, and he spotted them sitting by the window in a restaurant.


    He parked his car


    Carlene hadn’t seen the two yet, just noticing that it was amon restaurant, not even high end,


    which upset her.


    She didn’t like dining in such restaurants because she doubted their hygiene. Butn had already


    gotten off the car and didn’t even wait for her, so Carlene had to follow. Walking into the restaurant,n


    saw Nathan peeling shrimp for Maja with gloves on.


    Just ten seconds ago, Nathan had said to Maja, “After all, you’re giving me three thousand dors a


    month, peeling shrimp is the least I can do. I haven’t been of much help in Crystalbrook Valley recently,This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    and I feel guilty taking the money”


    He had put on gloves, and Maja was hungry, so she didn’t refuse.


    Seeing this,n felt a pang in his heart–an indescribable sourness.


    Without hesitation, he sat down at the table next to Maja’s.


    Maja was so engrossed in her food that she didn’t even noticen
