Chapter 719
She took a seat and nced at her watch. It was 7:20. Ian would probably show up in about ten
minutes.
The lighting on this floor was a bit dim. She turned her head to look at the night view outside the
window, her thoughts drifting.
This might be the most normal Christmas she had had in years.
She didn’t expect to spend it withn.
The feeling was quite peculiar.
She wasn’t sure how much time had passed by when she pulled out her phone to check the time. It
was already 8 o’clock, butn had not yet arrived.
A waiter came over and asked if she wanted to start her meal.
She gave a little smile and replied, “No need, someone’s still on the way.”
The waiter had no choice but to retreat.
When 9 o’clock rolled around, Maja was starting to get hungry. She furrowed her brows. Ian didn’t
seem like the type to bete.
She couldn’t help but try to reach out to him.n picked up.
“Penny, what’s up?”
His tone was a bit gentle, which made Maja wonder if he had forgotten their dinner date.
Maybe he was stuck in traffic.
“Mr. Raymond, where are you?”
He remembered past events, but the recent shock had made him forget that he had asked Maja to be
his girlfriend and their dinner date. But he remembered his past with Maja.
Hearing her question, he was a bit surprised, “Did I make ns with you tonight?”
Maja’s heart turned cold, her fingers trembling slightly.

If it wasn’t for the seriousness inn’s voice, she would have thought the man she had been sweetly
dating was just a figment of her imagination. She opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word.
After a while, she forced augh, “No, just wanted to say, Merry Christmas.”
Maja hung up the phone first, looking at the still burning–candle, her eyes growing cold.
The waiter came over again to ask if he could serve the food.
“Just bring it.”
The waiter sighed in relief and immediately brought out the tray.
The food was arranged for two people, beautifully ted.
She slowly finished her portion, looking out at the night view again. The waiter told her, “All expenses
for tonight have already been covered. Miss, there will also be fireworkster. Hope you can stay here
till then to witness that.”
Spending Christmas night alone, eating alone, watching fireworks alone, she felt a bitter taste in her
nose.
At 10 o’clock, the fireworks went up on schedule, lighting up the entire night sky. It looked very
luxurious, costing at least hundreds of thousands of dors.
All of Maja’s loneliness was dispelled by that bright disy. She watched quietly until the fireworks
disappeared.
By the time she left, it was already midnight.
She was supposed to be facingn; his meal was still on the table, now cold.
She picked up her bag and left the building alone.
She got into a taxi, not choosing to return to Greenfield Gardens but instead going back to Rosewood
Manor.
Neither seemed like home to her.
The doctor had conducted a series of checks on him, confirming he was fine, before indicating that he
could leave.
He was taken aback. Today was Christmas, and he usually worked overtime at thepany on this
day. He didn’t have time to go back to the Raymond Mansion for a party, let alone a date.
But thinking about Penny’s call, he furrowed his brows.
When he left the ce, he called Jeff.
The first thing Jeff said was, “Boss, the fireworks are over. Are you satisfied with the arrangement?”
“Ms. Penny. Didn’t you guys make ns this morning? You even reserved the whole restaurant.”
“Send me the location of the restaurant.”
Without any suspicion, Jeff immediately sent it over.
Ian drove there himself, but by the time he arrived, the fireworks were already over.
It was one in the morning. The restaurant was open because of his reservation.
He walked over to the specially arranged table and saw the cold food. He immediately called Maja.
