Chapter 255

There was a small lump on the bed, and all you could see was the soft hair poking out.

The bedside lamp was on, casting a warm glow on the bed.

lan didn’t just barge in, and knocked twice on the door. When here was no res

“Penny?”

The layout of the room was the same as his, just with different decor. He fig probably due to the sudden

brightness

from inside, he went in

on the lights in the room, and saw Majar’s forehead crease

lan wanted to touch her forehead, but before his hand could reach her, Majs opened her eyes. Her face

was still pale, but she seemed in better spirits. When she saw the man by the bedside, surprise flashed

through her eyes

“Mr. Raymond?”

lan retracted his hand, calmly placing it at the side of his dress pants

“Are you sick?”

Maja had a fever the night at Crystalbrook Valley. Today her period pains were quite severe. She had

taken three pills at noon without considering that it would upset her stomach. When she woke up, all

she felt was unbearable pain in her stomach, as if all her organs were being twisted together.

She quickly sat up, her hand on her stomach, her face even paler. She tried to get out of bed, but her

legs gave out, and she fell

lan reached out and caught her. But she had taken a bath before bed and was wearing a strappy

nightgown. His fingertips inevitably touched her bare skin. Upon closer look, her exposed skin was

glossy and smooth to the touch

lan was wearing a thin shirt, specifically changed into before coming over. His figure was lean and

straight. As he leaned slightly to catch her a sturdy wristbone was revealed.

After being helped up by him, Maja breathed a sigh of relief, quickly straightening up. When she

realized she was still holding his hand, she immediately took a step back

Just then, it occurred to her. Why was lan in her bedroom?

“The front desk came knocking, there was no answer. So I called you and asked for a spare room key.”

His tone was steady, pointing towards the outside.

“You should eat something.”

Relieved, Maja quickly went out. She hadn’t eaten all day, and her stomach was growling. Sitting on the

sofa, she grabbed some food from the dining cart. Only after downing half a bowl of soup, she started

to feel a bit better.

Looking up, she saw lan standing by the single-seater sofa, his eyes bright like a night lake. His shirt

sleeves were rolled up, and he was now sitting on the single-seater sofa

Feeling a bit awkward, Maja quickly asked, “Mr. Raymond, would you like to eat?”

The front desk had prepared a lot of food. She thought it was the staff knowing that she was sick and

specially sending it over, considering the hotel was very good and also quite expensive.

Moreover, this was a hotel of the Raymond Group, so the service was excellent.

“Penny”

lan spoke calmly, his gaze landing on her. His eyes were quite unique, slightly elongated, sharp at the

comers. When he wasn’t smiling, he appeared cold, giving off a ruthless vibe.

Maja guessed that he had something important to discuss, probably about Greenfield Gardens. No

wonder he was here, she had already told him, any issues could be discussed at any time.

“Mr. Raymond, is there something you need?”

If he wanted to change materials or add additional details, everything could be discussed.

lan, however, just averted his gaze and stood up. “You should rest well after you’ve eaten.”

Maja quickly stood up to see him off, still a bit uneasy. When she got to the door she asked softly, “is it

about Greenfield Gardens?

lan’s footsteps halted, and his body froze. From this, Maja inferred that there could have been some

details that needed to be added to the

house.

*I also hope to make the design of this house perfect. If you have any requests, feel free to bring them

up”

The room was very quiet, as if it was isolated from the outside world at this moment.

lan turned around, seeing her serious face combined with those cool yet fragile eyes. It was easy for

one to soften. He gently lifted his hand, placing it on the side of her waist. Since she was only wearing

a nightgown, the fabric was so thin it felt as though his palm was directly touching

her skin

Her body tensed up, listening to his words, “I’ve always wondered, are you trying to seduce me on

purpose?”

Following his gaze, Maja looked down to see her chest, more prominent because she wasn’t wearing a

bra, and her face immediately turned beet

red.
