Chapter 34

Maja responded to Tricia’s question with a nonchalant “Hmm.” She wasn’t one for lengthy conversations and often came across as cold.

Tricia’s eyes lit up. She was relieved that Maja didn’t have any feelings for lan.

Maja frowned, realizing that she couldn’t simply escape without greeting them. Tricia had already jumped out of the car and ran to her father and brother. “Dad, Glenn.”
