Chapter80 When Lauryn fell, Mariela thought her engagement to Lennon might be delayed.
She didnât expect Laurynâs plans to backfire, helping her instead. Instead of making Lennon resent her, it sped up his confession.
After that night, Mariela started to like Lennon.
It wasnât deep, and certainly not love.
After her failed relationship with Jaime, Mariela couldnât fall in love quickly again.
But being unconditionally trusted and favored was unavoidably touching.
The engagement party date was set..
It was on the 19th of the next month.
It was early October now, with just over a month left.
On this day, Lennon accompanied Mariela to a highâend luxury clothing store.
In the VIP room.
Mariela and Lennon sat on the sofa, watching models with similar figures to Mariela showcase the latest seasonâs designs.
That light blue dress is nice,â Lennon whispered close to Marielaâs ear.
I like that one too,â Mariela agreed and that beige coat looks good.â
As they talked, Marielaâs phone beeped twice..
She took out her phone and checked it Lennon turned away, respecting her privacy.
She received several photos in a message.
Mariela looked through them one by one.
They showed Juliette and Jaime together.
The background appeared to be in Alaska.
Next, Juliette sent a text.
âHe didnât want to come to Alaska with you, so I came in your place. Alaska is beautiful, but sadly, you canât see it Mariela rolled her eyes.
She wasnât dead, so why couldnât she see her three with years she Jaime, worked nice to six, eagerly awaiting holidays.
travel During She felt unsafe traveling alone and wanted Jaime to join her.
She wanted to visit Alaska because she had longed to explore it for a long time, especially after having traveled to many other places before.
Now, traveling anywhere was easy.
Mariela didnât respond.
She considered blocking Juliette but decided against it.
Julietteâs behavior was amusing.
She wanted to see what else Juliette would do.
She might as well keep her as an entertaining contact.
With that thought, she put her phone away Juliette leaned on Jaimeâs chest, sending carefully chosen and edited photos.
Jaime held her, watching her send them to Mariela.
