Chapter 157

The first time Maja laid eyes on Maureen, she knew she was a classy lady, always speaking with kindness and respect.

Ryan described his mom as a fiendish mom, but Maja was actually pretty jealous of him. Apart from her own mom, Maureen was the most elegant woman she had ever met.

After everything she’s been through, plus being all alone in the hospital for so long, her defenses were pretty much shot.
