Chapter 166 Mariela leaned her face closer, âHmph,â she said, âHow many sentences are there?â
Lennon chuckled, âJust five or six or seven or eight lines.â
Menu âWhat are you talking about? Why are you saying so much?â Mariela said, looking like she was being unreasonable. Lennon saw it in his eyes and found her jealous look very cute. There was an indissoluble indulgence in his eyes, with a smile on his lips.âItâs nothing, just in high school, she confessed a few times and I rejected her,â he said a few words, but hardly spoke afterwards.
âDo you really not have any feelings in your heart?â Mariela asked, halfâbelieving and halfâdoubting.âShe is quite beautiful.â
âNo,â Lennon gazed affectionately at Mariela, âI had someone in my heart long ago, thereâs no room for anyone else.â Mariela knowingly asked, âOthers? Which others?â
Lennonâs eyes were filled with a smile, âWhat do you say?â
Mariela mumbled, pouting, âHow am I supposed to know if you donât tell me?â
In Lennonâs eyes, she was acting cute like this, melting his heart.
Where could Lennon resist?
His voice carried a smile, âThere is no one else but you.â
Mariela didnât open her eyes to look at him.âWhen she confessed to you in high school, how old was I back then?â
Was he really impossible to like her back then?
Lennon:âI didnât have any thoughts of dating when I was in high school.99.â
At this point, Mariela suddenly became curious. She looked into Lennonâs eyes, blinking her beautiful almondâshaped eyes, and asked him, âBy the way, when did you start liking me?â
Lennon recalled, âAt first, I did see you as a sister, but I canât say for sure when this affection changed.â
Mariela persistently asked, âIsnât there an approximate time?â
To be honest, it should be when you were in high school. Daniel was bothering you, and it was only after I hit him that I realized, in retrospect, that my feelings for you seemed to be different somehow.
Mariela pursed her lips and said, âYou really hid it well.â
Lennon rubbed Marielaâs furry head and said, âI used to wait for you to grow your long, curly hair.â
Speaking of this, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes. âAs soon as you graduated from college, I went to seek a marriage alliance with your fatherâinâlaw, but you were unwilling and even ran away from home.â
Mariela averted her gaze guiltily and muttered, âI... I thought back then that my dad sacrificed me for the sake of the companyâs interests. How could I have known that you had planned it all along? You didnât tell me, I feel so wronged...â
Lennon suddenly pretended to be pitiful, Ouch, the wound hurt so much.â
Mariela became anxious and quickly bent down to check the wound on his waist.âWhat happened? Did you accidentally bump into something? Iâll call a nurse to take a look.â
