Chapter 34

Maja responded to Tricia’s question with a nonchalant “Hmm.” She wasn’t one for lengthy conversations and often came across as cold.

Tricia’s eyes lit up. She was relieved that Maja didn’t have any feelings for lan.

The car pulled into the Pennyfeather family’s courtyard. Maja had planned to drop off Tricia and quickly leave. However, Neil Pennyfeather, Tricia’s father, was in the yard watering the plants with Glenn Pennyfeather by his side.

Maja frowned, realizing that she couldn’t simply escape without greeting them. Tricia had already jumped out of the car and ran to her father and brother. “Dad, Glenn.”

Neil engrossed in a business discussion with Glenn, stopped what he was doing upon seeing Maja’s car in the distance. Maja reluctantly got out of the car and greeted them. “Dad.”

Neil handed the watering can to a servant and sighed lightly. “Good to see you back. Come inside, Cristina has prepared a feast. And I have something important to discuss with you.”

Maja knew that time was ticking, as she still had plans to meet with lan.
