on the lights in the room, and saw Majar’s forehead crease
lan wanted to touch her forehead, but before his hand could reach her, Majs opened her eyes. Her facewas still pale, but she seemed in better spirits. When she saw the man by the bedside, surprise flashedthrough her eyes
“Mr. Raymond?”
lan retracted his hand, calmly placing it at the side of his dress pants
“Are you sick?”
Maja had a fever the night at Crystalbrook Valley. Today her period pains were quite severe. She hadtaken three pills at noon without considering that it would upset her stomach. When she woke up, allshe felt was unbearable pain in her stomach, as if all her organs were being twisted together.
She quickly sat up, her hand on her stomach, her face even paler. She tried to get out of bed, but herlegs gave out, and she fell
lan reached out and caught her. But she had taken a bath before bed and was wearing a strappynightgown. His fingertips inevitably touched her bare skin. Upon closer look, her exposed skin wasglossy and smooth to the touch
lan was wearing a thin shirt, specifically changed into before coming over. His figure was lean andstraight. As he leaned slightly to catch her a sturdy wristbone was revealed.
After being helped up by him, Maja breathed a sigh of relief, quickly straightening up. When sherealized she was still holding his hand, she immediately took a step back
Just then, it occurred to her. Why was lan in her bedroom?
“The front desk came knocking, there was no answer. So I called you and asked for a spare room key.”
His tone was steady, pointing towards the outside.
“You should eat something.”
Relieved, Maja quickly went out. She hadn’t eaten all day, and her stomach was growling. Sitting on thesofa, she grabbed some food from the dining cart. Only after downing half a bowl of soup, she startedto feel a bit better.novelbin
Looking up, she saw lan standing by the single-seater sofa, his eyes bright like a night lake. His shirtsleeves were rolled up, and he was now sitting on the single-seater sofa
Feeling a bit awkward, Maja quickly asked, “Mr. Raymond, would you like to eat?”
The front desk had prepared a lot of food. She thought it was the staff knowing that she was sick andspecially sending it over, considering the hotel was very good and also quite expensive.
Moreover, this was a hotel of the Raymond Group, so the service was excellent.
“Penny”
lan spoke calmly, his gaze landing on her. His eyes were quite unique, slightly elongated, sharp at thecomers. When he wasn’t smiling, he appeared cold, giving off a ruthless vibe.
Maja guessed that he had something important to discuss, probably about Greenfield Gardens. Nowonder he was here, she had already told him, any issues could be discussed at any time.
“Mr. Raymond, is there something you need?”
If he wanted to change materials or add additional details, everything could be discussed.
lan, however, just averted his gaze and stood up. “You should rest well after you’ve eaten.”
Maja quickly stood up to see him off, still a bit uneasy. When she got to the door she asked softly, “is itabout Greenfield Gardens?
lan’s footsteps halted, and his body froze. From this, Maja inferred that there could have been somedetails that needed to be added to the
house.
*I also hope to make the design of this house perfect. If you have any requests, feel free to bring themup”
The room was very quiet, as if it was isolated from the outside world at this moment.
lan turned around, seeing her serious face combined with those cool yet fragile eyes. It was easy forone to soften. He gently lifted his hand, placing it on the side of her waist. Since she was only wearinga nightgown, the fabric was so thin it felt as though his palm was directly touching
her skin
Her body tensed up, listening to his words, “I’ve always wondered, are you trying to seduce me onpurpose?”
Following his gaze, Maja looked down to see her chest, more prominent because she wasn’t wearing abra, and her face immediately turned beet
red.
