Chapter 827
The cold wind cooled her face a bit, making her feel much better.
Was lan doing this on purpose?
Purposely making her feel troubled, then getting down to work himself.
Was he getting back at her for ignoring him while she was busy working just now?
She frowned and couldn’t help but look at him.
But his expression was serious as if there was really an emergency at work.
Maja was a little depressed so she lowered her head, trying to focus on her work, but she kept looking at his hands.
She liked lan’s hands, and they were even better than the best hand models.

To be precise, every part of lan was good–looking. His face, his figure, and even the most private parts were
perfect.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe did have the charm to attract women, but she didn’t want to be his plaything.
She suppressed the restlessness in her heart. The car had already stopped in front of Raymond Mansion amidst the
sound of his keyboard tapping.
A servant came to open the door. Maja got off the car first, and lan followed her.

As soon as the door opened, she saw Grandpa leaning on a cane, standing at the entrance of living room door.
“Grandpa Holden.”
She called out obediently, remembering that she hadn’t bring a gift. She was about to say that she would make it
up later when she saw lan let the servant take out a gift from the trunk.
He even said to Grandpa:
“Grandpa, this is what we prepared for you.”
He almost said, ‘This is what Maja and I prepared for you!, he thought if he called them separately, it might sound
like there was some distance between the two of them.
To avoid embarrassment, he directly used ‘we‘. And he knew that Maja was busy with work and must have
forgotten about the gift.
A trace of surprise flashed across Maja’s face, and she didn’t expect him to prepare the gift in advance, which
eased her embarrassment.
Holden watched as his gifts were being moved into the old house box by box. He sighed, if these two had gotten
along in the first place, maybe he would have a great–grandson by now.
He blamed lan with a glance: it’s all this guy’s fault!
“Come in and sit, Maja. What have you been up to recently?”
“I took over my father’s company before, but since I couldn’t get new business, I invited some of the staff out to
start a new company.”
The words ‘couldn’t get new business‘ hit lan like a ton of bricks.
Why couldn’t the Pennyfeather family get new business? It was all his fault.
Holden’s face was filled with satisfaction, and he took her hand, “You can do anything well, just like.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe wanted to say just like Eric, but knowing lan would mind, he changed the subject, “Just like other people’s
children, you can paint so well and manage the company so well. Maja, you’re really good.”
Maja was a little embarrassed by his praise, “Grandpa Holden, I’m still learning how to run a company, just reading
books and taking public courses from business people in Listina.”
“You’re already doing very well.”
Holden really felt regret. He liked Maja from the start because she was always determined and seldom complained.
But when he looked at his grandson sitting silently on the side, he was very displeased.
“What has lan been up to recently?”
“Work”
lan’s answer was plain.
The wound on his back had not completely healed, and it hurt a little when he moved.
“Of course, I know you’re busy with work, but you’re busy all the time and actually don’t achieve anything. You just
make yourself look like a loner.”
Hen’s face changed immediately, thinking: Can’t he say something nice in front of Maja?
