Chapter 712
On Christmas Eve, Maja found out thatn wasing home, so she rushed to the mall to buy a
Christmas wreath, ready to go back to Greenfield Gardens.
With the graduation seasoning up, a bunch of fresh grads were about to join the workforce, so she
had to get the HR department ready to hire newbies. Besides, she had already paid a year’s rent and
now she had to start thinking about some basic renovations.
She had been swamped all week, almost forgetting about the uing Christmas.
It wasn’t until Jeff called to tell her thatn wasing home tonight that she rushed to the mall to buy
a Christmas wreath.
Just after she got home and finished decorating with the Christmas wreath, the sound of a car engine
came from outside the yard.
Maja sat on the couch, looking at the meal prepared by the housemaid, then shut down herptop.
On his way home, he saw Christmas trees in every yard. He imagined that there should have been a
few here too, decorated with Christmas lights. He had been abroad for years, so he never had a real
Christmas.
To be exact, he had never had one before.
When he heard the news of Eric’s ident, it was just before Christmas, so every time when
Christmas came around, Edith and Selena would cry their eyes out, making the whole family lose the
festive mood.
And when his brother was still around, everyone’s attention was on him. Ian was in the military then
and celebrating there just meant everyone having a big meal together, without having to catch bandits
at the border.
He didn’t have any special feelings about Christmas but seeing other people’s festive mood on his way
home, he found Greenfield Gardens to be chillingly quiet.
He was particrly upset at the moment as if a fire was about to ignite from the bottom of his heart.
He entered the door code, pushed the door open, and saw Maja just about toe out.
She was wearing a cotton house dress, and a smile appeared on her face at the sight ofn.
“Mr. Raymond, you’re back.”

He was supposed to be home an hour earlier, but the doctor had given his wound full treatment, which
was the cause of his dy.
Maja immediately took his coat.
from when he left.
He only felt she was perfunctory.
But today was Christmas Eve, and he didn’t want to ruin the day by arguing with her.
Maja also felt a bit guilty, hanging his coat on the coat rack.
it clearly meant that they didn’t like them enough to even try. So, he didn’t need to seek any answers
now.
The two of them ate in silence.
After dinner, Maja wanted to say something to him, but seeing him take his folder upstairs, she figured
he must have a meeting in his study.
She took herptop to the bedroom, chatted with Meetman for a bit, then took a bath.
Lying in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
At half–past eleven, she felt someone push open the door of the room and immediately she closed her
eyes.
She heardn’s footsteps moving around the room, then the sound of water in the bathroom.
After an uncertain amount of time, the sound of water stopped, and the bathroom door was opened.

She couldn’t help wanting to open her eyes, and just as she was about to do so, she felt a light tap in
the cheek.
She opened her eyes, looking straight into his.
“Penny, ten seconds left.”
Maja didn’t respond right away, and it was only after the ten seconds passed that he grabbed her
hand, ced it against his lips, and gently bit down wishing her, “Merry Christmas, let’s go buy
Christmas decorations in the morning. Let bygones be bygones, I won’t hold grudges anymore.”
His voice was deep, then he lifted the nket and crawled in.
“I want to spend Christmas with you.”
He was never good at sweet talk.
The words in bed always carried a kind of hidden implication to them.
Maja had initially felt guilty about the decorations but seeing him willing to let them go and wanting a
fresh start, she propped herself up without hesitation and kissed his throat.
The night was as usual, he held her waist, making wild love.
