Chapter 171 But times have changed.
She no longer cared about him.
Menu She could completely ignore Jaime.
Mariela ordered her favorite dishes and also ordered a glass of chilled beverage.
When the drink was brought over, Jaime suddenly said, âYour period is coming soon, donât drink anything cold.â
Mariela rolled her eyes in her mind, picked up the cup and took two sips, squinted her eyes and showed a satisfied expression.
She said to the person next to her, Lennon, âItâs been a long time since I had this, it still tastes the same as before. Lenny, do you want to try it?â When the girl looked at Lennon, there were tiny sparks in her eyes, and a sweet smile always adorned her face, even the air around her was sweet.
Lennon took the cup and took a sip from the straw Mariela had used.
Their expressions and movements were all very natural, without any sense of discord.
Mario understood everything when he saw this scene.
Mariela and Lennon used to get along like this all the time, their relationship was very good, it didnât seem like they were acting deliberately.
That Jaime...
He discreetly glanced at the man sitting across from him.
Jaimeâs chin tightened, his eyes fixed firmly on Mariela, that gaze carrying a hint of anger mixed with a touch of hurt. However, Mariela didnât even spare him a glance.
Jaimeâs fingers, holding the cup, turned pale, and Mario was worried that he would crush the cup in the next second.
Mario sighed inwardly.
Brother, why did you have to do this again?
âDid you order the food?â Mario tried to divert Jaimeâs attention.
Jaime, however, as if he hadnât heard, continued to look at Mariela without responding.
Mario shook his head helplessly and took out his phone to scan the QR code and order food.
Marielaâs dishes were all ready.
Jaime looked at the seafood on the table over there and frowned, âArenât you allergic to seafood? Why are you still ordering seafood?â
Mariela paid no attention and enjoyed eating the shrimp that Lennon had peeled for her, dipping it in sauce.
Mario coughed awkwardly and cautiously spoke up, âJay, is it possible... I mean... Mariela wasnât actually allergic to seafood.
She used to avoid ordering seafood when eating with you because you were allergic to it.â
Jaime heard these words and suddenly turned his head to look, âWhat did you say?â
Mario repeated again, âMariela wasnât allergic to seafood, she used to be with you before, because you were allergic to seafood, thatâs why she didnât order any seafood.â
âHow did you know?â
âI once met her having dinner with her colleagues, ordering a table full of seafood...â
Jaime pursed his lips into a straight line, his eyes flickering with disbelief.âReally?â
