Chapter 429

When lan climbed back into bed, Maja was in that half–asleep, half–awake zone.

His arm was still wrapped around her waist.

He turned towards her, taking a good look at her face.

She had a nice nose and great skin, and though her lashes weren’t long, they were thick. Even with her

short hair, she still looked cute while sleeping.

He couldn’t resist, hugging her tight and planting a little kiss on her like he was petting a lazy cat.

His action stirred Maja awake. She looked at him, and suddenly a smile spread across her face.

“It must be fake,” she said.

She was talking about the letter she had seen that day. After all, he was right beside her.

Maja was dreaming, and after saying that, she drifted back to sleep.

But her smile got to lan; it felt like a punch to his heart, a mix of sweet and sour.

“What’s fake?” he asked.

Maja, half–asleep, opened her eyes with a soft voice.

“You,” she said.

The way she said it lingered, it felt like it seeped into lan’s bones.

He started to wonder if maybe she did have feelings for him.

He thought back to Tyler’s analysis, and to be fair, many of her actions did not add up.

She was married, yet she would apply medicine for him and blush when he was on top of her.

She even sneakily drew him and often stared at him in a daze.

If it wasn’t that she liked him, then what? Could there be other reasons why she won’t admit it?

This was the first time lan deeply pondered the dynamics between men and women.

He never felt this way about Carlene. He just thought it was right to be nice to her.

lan had always been smart; in everything he did, he excelled.

His older brother, Eric Raymond, was the same. But lan was more introverted and had diverse

interests–one moment wanting to study finance, then painting, then joining the military.

Eric was more focused, always wanting to get into a research institute, and started working in

renowned laboratories when he was 14.

People would say the Raymond family produced two geniuses.

But most people favored Eric, being the eldest son and always treating others kindly, unlike lan’s cold

demeanor.

Everyone had their pride, especially a highly praised genius like lan.

lan wanted to prove he was better than Eric.

He knew Eric, and even though he was popular with the ladies, he preferred research.

Except when it came to Carlene, Eric showed extra care.

lan guessed that Eric might like Carlene.

So when Carlene confessed to lan, asking if he would be with her, lan agreed.

And so, Carlene became his girlfriend.

Looking back, that decision was quite immature.

It’s just that lan didn’t want to lose.

Simple as that.

But he did involve Carlene in all this; he should have been nicer to her.

Now, looking at Maja, lan felt incredibly satisfied.

Penny must like him, right?

For some reason, she wouldn’t admit it. She cared so much about her pride.

He held her tight, gently nuzzling her neck.

Maja didn’t wake up, she was in a deep sleep.

When she woke up, she felt sore all over. Every night spent with lan resulted in this. The man had

energy for days.

Clearly, he tried to control himself last night.

By then, lan had left the hotel, the painting was carefully put away, and a check for three million was left

on the coffee table. Maja’s mood instantly lifted. With seven million earned in a day, lan really was a

generous man.

As long as she ignored the fact that he was her husband, he really was a great guy.
