Chapter 351
From Maja’s perspective, she could tell from his tone that he was definitely drunk. Otherwise, howcould he ask such a question?
She was thinking fast.
“Well, if you bring me the dog this late, it will be tough to explain if my hubby finds out.”
As soon as she finished, lan went silent.
Even though they were only talking over the phone, Maja could still feel a heavy vibe from him.
Before she could say anything else, lan suddenly hung up.
Maja was shocked, thinking he had hung up by accident, so she dialed him again.
But lan didn’t pick up.
She called again, but still no answer. Maja was no fool, and she knew he was ignoring her on purpose.
She frowned slightly, wondering if she had said something wrong.
In his mind, she was supposed to be married.
Seeing that she stopped calling after two tries, lan sheered and–looked at Coco beside him.
“That’s all you are to her.”novelbin
Coco didn’t understand and tried to get closer, but lan had already gone upstairs.
When lan was not in the country, Coco used to sleep on the couch.
The entire Rosewood Manor was his, so now that lan was ignoring him, Coco just lay down on thecouch.
lan, annoyed, didn’t notice the laptop and notebook on the coffee table.
Returning to his room, he stood under the shower, feeling restless as the water dripped down his chest.
He didn’t know if it was the alcohol, but he really felt like selling the dog.
Her mind was filled with thoughts of her cheating husband.
She really needed to get her eyes checked.
After two calls, Maja didn’t dare to call again, afraid that lan would get angry.
lan hadn’t questioned her identity yet. Apparently, he hadn’t noticed the laptop on the coffee table.
He never cared about anything regarding Rosewood Manor.
She sent another message to Maria.
“Maria, could you please put away the laptop and notebook on the coffee table and keep them in myroom?”
Maria was an early riser, like the maids in Rosewood Manor, and usually woke up around five in themorning.
lan usually got up at six, so Maria would definitely appear in the living room earlier than him.
Maja breathed a sigh of relief, but when she thought of Coco, she was worried again.
It wasn’t until five–thirty in the morning that Maria called.
Maja had been sleepless all night, and at this moment, she saw her savior.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, did Mr. Raymond come back last night? Coco seems to be sleeping on thecouch…”
Maria’s heart was racing, unsure whether lan had seen Coco.
Maja took a deep breath and asked, “Did you put away my laptop and notebook?”
“I’ve put them in your room.”
“Good, Maria, just pretend you don’t know Coco from now on; pretend it’s a stray dog that ran intoRosewood Manor; remember, don’t admit that he was raised in Rosewood Manor.”
Otherwise, everything would be exposed.
Maria was on Maja’s side and could only nod.
“Okay.”
Hearing Ian had already met Coco made her very anxious.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, is this really okay?”
What if lan questions. her because of Coco?
“Maria, as long as you don’t admit to having a dog in Rosewood Manor, Mr. Raymond won’t blame you.He’s actually a nice guy.”
Maria had no choice but to hang up the phone with doubt.
When lan came downstairs in his suit, breakfast was already on the table.
Coco was wandering around in the living room.
Seeing it, lan frowned slightly, “Find something for it to eat. It must be hungry.”
Remembering what Maja had told her, Maria started to play along.
“Mr. Raymond, I have no idea whose dog this is; considering your allergy to dog fur, I was planning ongetting rid of it.”
lan sat at the table, his tone plain, “Don’t get rid of it yet. Let’s keep it for a few days; get someone tobuy some dog food.”
Maria saw that he did not blame her and asked her to buy dog food, and her eyes lit up.
Ms. Pennyfeather was right, after all.
“Okay, how long do you plan on keeping it? This dog must have an owner, right?”
“Maybe.”
lan finished his breakfast leisurely and went to the Raymond Corporation.-
At the entrance of the Raymond Corporation, he ran into Maja, who had been waiting for him.
With dark circles under her eyes, Maja obviously hadn’t slept all night.
“Mr. Raymond, about Coco…
Ian walked past her, his tone indifferent, “I was drunk last night and mistook. It’s not at my place.”
He was lying.
