Chapter 78

Maja had overslept until noon, waking up with a nasty headache. Her phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. She quickly picked it up.

It was a call from Susan, sounding quite urgent.

“Maja, I’ve been calling you for a while now, and you didn’t pick up. Did something happen? I was about to send your uncle to check on you.”

Maja glanced at her missed calls. Five from her aunt. No wonder she was worried.

“I’m fine. I stayed up late last night and was too tired to hear the phone.”

Upon hearing this, Susan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, “Are you still visiting your mom today?”

“Yeah, I’m up now. I’ll grab some flowers and head over.”

“We’ve already bought flowers. I’ll have your uncle wait for you at your place. When you’re ready, find him; he can take you there.”

After hanging up the phone, it didn’t take Maja more than five minutes to get ready and head out to meet Daly.

Daly handed her the bouquet, “Heard you stayed up late last night. I’ll drive-You can rest in the passenger seat.”

“Alright.”
