Chapter 254 Mariela didnât want to consider this possibility.
Her heart raced, and her fingers shook a bit.
No.
Lennon wouldnât do this!
He promised his love was only for her.
But how could she explain the recording Jaime just played?
Marielaâs thoughts were chaotic.
Jaime was quiet for a moment.
He gave Mariela time to overthink.
After a while, Jaime said, âDalia kidnapped your sister and tried to kill you. Lennon got stabbed protecting you; she nearly killed him! The Stark family wouldnât let DalÃa escape punishment. But why was Dalia quickly taken away after claiming pregnancy, even though she was already arrested?â
Mariela frowned deeply, her lips tight, not speaking.
âWhy donât you guess whose baby Dalia is carrying?â
This question shocked Mariela.
Her body shook involuntarily.
âShut up!â
She was upset, glaring at Jaime, and snapped, âDonât spread lies and cause trouble! Lenny isnât like that! Heâs not like you! Donât think everyone is bad just because you are!â
Jaimeâs eyes showed hurt, and he felt a pang in his heart.
Was Lennon truly that good to her?
Was he that awful?
Hmph.
Jaime hid his bitterness, calmed down, and smiled, âIâm telling the truth, Marie. You trust Lennon too much. If heâs honest, why keep secrets from you?â
âGet out!â Mariela said angrily.
Jaime shrugged and smiled lightly, âLennon is with Dalia now. Why not call and ask him?â
âI know youâre just trying to stir up trouble between me and him.â Mariela pushed Jaime and turned to leave.
Jaime grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards the door, nearly making her fall.
He held her waist, leaned in, and breathed in her hair, obsessed.âMariela, leave him and come back to me.â
Mariela kneed Jaimeâs stomach hard.
He yelled and let her go.
Mariela slapped Jaimeâs face without hesitating.
