Chapter 73

As Maja entered the room, she saw a woman around 28 years old sitting on the sofa watching TV while her aunt Susan Elston was busy cooking.

The woman on the sofa put down the apple she was munching on when she saw Maja.

“Oh, back from the big city, huh? The place is a bit of a mess. Go find somewhere to sit.”

Daly and Susan wore awkward expressions on their faces but remained silent.

Susan pulled Maja over, gave her a once-over, and then couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “You look thinner. Did your dad only care about that woman and forget about you?”

“Definitely. Her mom passed away years ago. Men are just like that, they find a prettier woman, and they forget about their ex-wife.”

The woman speaking was Olivia, Maja’s sister-in-law and a member of the household. She seemed cold and sharp, casting a glance towards the kitchen.

“Food’s not ready yet, and you got time for chit-chat?”

Susan had to let go of Maja’s hand, “Maja, sit down, dinner’s almost ready.”
