Chapter 165: Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Mariela looked at him warily, “What are you here for?”

Jaime’s eyes sparkled with, excitement as he stared at Mariela.“I heard your engagement ceremony was canceled?”

Mariela said angrily, “What’s it to you? Move aside!”

Jaime blocked Mariela’s way and said, “Mariela, do you believe in fate? The fact that your engagement ceremony was ruined indicates that the heavens do not approve of your union.”

“Huh,” Mariela said with a cold expression, “It’s already the 21st century, and yet your feudal superstitious thoughts haven’t been eradicated?” Jaime was not upset either, he was happier than anyone else when the engagement ceremony was canceled.

Not to mention, Lennon was also stabbed and nearly died.

Even the heavens were helping him!

A smile appeared in his eyes, “Mariela, you know who the killer is, right? She was a fanatic admirer of Lennon, pursued him for ten years. Many people saw her at the engagement party that day, and now this matter has spread all over New York.”

“You said, how could Lennon possibly remain indifferent when a woman passionately pursued him for ten years?”

Jaime’s words were like a spell, always echoing in Mariela’s mind, disturbing her and making her feel restless.

When Mariela came to the hospital to see Lennon the next day, she always had a heavy–hearted look.

“What are you thinking about, Marie?” Lennon asked.

The girl fluttered her eyelashes and turned her face away without looking at him, “Um... what’s the deal with that Dalia?” Lennon smiled inexplicably and said,“Are you jealous?”

Mariela tried to pretend that she didn’t care, puffed her cheeks and said, “No way, I haven’t heard you mention it before, just asking.” Thinking about the woman who kidnapped Angelica and even wanted to stab her, Mariela became even more angry on top of being jealous.“Where did you encounter such a rotten peach blossom? Why are you so crazy?”

Lennon waved at Mariela and said, “Marie, come here.”

Mariela obediently walked over and sat down by his sickbed.

Lennon took her hand and looked serious.“I was her high school classmate, and she used to pursue me passionately. I clearly rejected her, but later on, she also attended the same university as me. During our time in college, she continued to pursue me, but I never gave her any hope.” Mariela lowered her eyes and pouted, “Is that it?”

Lennon pinched her face and said, “That’s right, I never spoke to her or even added her contact information.”

months.”

Mariela fell silent for a moment and then said, “So why was she able to endure for so long? It’s been ten years, not ten days or ten Lennon smiled helplessly and said, “Well, how would I know? The people around me all know how indifferent I was towards her. I haven’t spoken a few words to her in ten years.”
