Chapter 200 +5

Maya was beside herself with excitement as she packed her bag, getting ready for the trip to Husla in case Liam called with good news for her.

One of her mottos in life was to always be prepared.

She had barely been able to sleep all night because she had been thinking about meeting her elder brother.

She wondered how he had been faring all these years and if life had been good to him. She wondered how much he remembered and if he would recognize her easily when they met.

Was he married? Did he have kids? She felt giddy at the thought of having not only a brother but a sister-in-law as well as nieces and nephews.

Thinking about it, she paused when she remembered that she had yet to tell Evelyn about this recent development.

She had never mentioned having a brother to Evelyn before or anything about what her mother had told her before she passed away.

The only reason she had told Liam about it was that it had become a burden on her mind lately and had become even more so after seeing the locket again.

She jolted when her phone began to ring, and she quickly received the call when she saw it was Liam.

"Good morning, Liam. I've been waiting for your call," she said excitedly.

Liam smiled, "You sound pretty excited," he noted.

"I am. Did you hear back from the orphanage? Have you found out about my brother's identity?" Maya asked hopefully.

Liam sighed, "About that, it seems the guy asking questions at the orphanage was contracted by your brother. For some reason, he's not interested in revealing his identity. He would rather meet with you in person," Liam said, and Maya frowned. "Perhaps he is someone important?" She asked, wondering why else he would send someone and not want to reveal his identity.

"I considered that, too. But just to be on the safe side, I decided to schedule a meeting on your behalf. You don't have to reveal your identity to him either until you meet him," Liam said, and Maya laughed.

"I'm not someone important. It doesn't matter whether or not you reveal my identity," Maya said, and Liam raised a brow.

"You're someone important. You're important to Evelyn and Samantha. And you're my friend, so you're important to me too," Liam said, and Maya rolled her eyes but she smiled.

"I'm sure you know what I meant," she said and then sighed.

"How soon can I meet him? I'm guessing he won't share his contact details either. Perhaps he wants to see me first and decide whether or not I'm someone he wants in his life," Maya said thoughtfully.
