Chapter 27 Menu She posted pictures of these three dresses on her Instagram, with the caption âIâm suffering from indecisiveness, can you all help me choose the best one?â
Just a few minutes later, she received many likes and comments.
Lennon:âThey all look great. You can buy them all and wear them interchangeably.â
Caylee, her best friend since she was little, also liked and commented on it.
Caylee:âWow, you have such great taste. All three of them suit you so well. Let Lennon buy them all, itâs not like he canât afford it.â
Another good friend, Fiona, commented, âBuy them all! You look good in anything!â
Hailie:âWow, whatâs going on? Why are you picking a dress? Are you getting married?â
As Mariela continued to scroll down, among the likes and wellâwishes from a crowd of relatives and friends, there were a few comments that particularly caught her eye.
Taryn:â...â
Mario:âMariela, why did you post this?â
Efrain:âMariela, are you out of your mind? It cracked me up.â
Colleague A:âThese sets are all new collections from famous brands. Before about buying them; you canât even afford to rent them.â
you show off, you should first find out the prices. Donât even talk Colleague B:âYou are so wealthy; your life is my dream.â
Jaime;â?â
Seeing this, Mariela raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Jaime had sobered up.
She was just thinking when she received a message from Jaime.
âDelete your Instagram!â
Mariela:âI wonât.â
Jaime:âAre you forcing me to marry you? Didnât you listen to what I said to you before?â
Mariela:âOh.â
Jaime:âMariela, please stop now.â
Mariela ignored him.
âShe called Lennon.
The call was quickly connected, and Lennonâs voice was very gentle, âMarie, do âYes,â Mariela said, âwhich one do you think is the best?â
you like any of those three dresses?â
On the other side of the line, Lennon seemed to laugh and said in an indulgent voice, âDidnât I say that if you like them, weâll buy them all? Iâve had my assistant hold on to all three dresses.â
âAlready? I just sent the text now.â
Lennon said, âI was afraid we got too late. These are all limited editions.â
âWell, thank you so much and sorry for the trouble, Lenny.â
âMarie, you are my fiancée now, and that makes us family, so thereâs no trouble at all.â
What Lennon said was true, but Mariela still could not find herself taking on the role of his fiancée now. In her heart, Lennon was still the older boy next door who patiently helped her with her homework.
âBy the way, Marie, you canât taxi anywhere in LA anymore. I bought a car for you. I just completed the procedures. Give me an address, and I will have someone drive it to you.â
Upon hearing these words, Mariela felt very embarrassed.
