Chapter 712

On Christmas Eve, Maja found out that lan was coming home, so she rushed to the mall to buy a Christmas wreath, ready to go back to Greenfield Gardens.

lan hadn’t contacted her the whole week, and she was busy with her company’s recruitment stuff.

With the graduation season coming up, a bunch of fresh grads were about to join the workforce, so she had to get the HR department ready to hire newbies. Besides, she had already paid a year’s rent and now she had to start thinking about some basic renovations.

She had been swamped all week, almost forgetting about the upcoming Christmas.

It wasn’t until Jeff called to tell her that lan was coming home tonight that she rushed to the mall to buy a Christmas wreath.

Just after she got home and finished decorating with the Christmas wreath, the sound of a car engine came from outside the yard.

Maja sat on the couch, looking at the meal prepared by the housemaid, then shut down her laptop.

lan got out of the car, looked around, and found that Greenfield Gardens was the same as always.

On his way home, he saw Christmas trees in every yard. He imagined that there should have been a few here too, decorated with Christmas lights. He had been abroad for years, so he never had a real Christmas.

To be exact, he had never had one before.

When he heard the news of Eric’s accident, it was just before Christmas, so every time when Christmas came around, Edith and Selena would cry their eyes out, making the whole family lose the festive mood.

And when his brother was still around, everyone’s attention was on him. Ian was in the military then and celebrating there just meant everyone having a big meal together, without having to catch bandits at the border.
