Chapter 149
Mariela paused for a moment.
I didn’t expect Angelica to ask like this.
She curved her lips and a smile twinkled in her eyes, “Of course, the Stark’s villa is so close to our house, I could come back every day.”
“Hmph, my sister is lying,” Angelica pouted.“You don’t even come home every day now, how can you come home every day after marrying Lenny?”
Mariela laughed, “Sister had to work, so she didn’t have time to come home every day.”
Angelica stuck out her pinky finger and said, “Pinkie promise, come home and see me every day from now on.”
Mariela smiled and it seemed that even children were not easily fooled.
She extended her pinky finger, “Big sister can’t come home every day, but big sister promises that whenever she has free time, she will come back to see you, okay? I will come home often.”
Angelica nodded with a smile, “Okay.”
Mariela hooked her pinky finger with Angelica’s and smiled sweetly.
The engagement ceremony was scheduled at the Stark’s
manor.

Early in the morning, Lennon personally drove to pick up Mariela.
Deandre and Haleigh both dressed up, wearing formal attire, and sat in the downstairs living room waiting.
Deandre’s face lit up with a smile as he saw Lennon enthusiastically stand up to greet him, saying, “Lenny, wait a moment, Mariela will be coming down soon.”
Haleigh stood aside, with a gentle smile on her face.
She was also genuinely happy today. Although Mariela is not her biological child, she is no different from her own child in her heart.
She muttered silently in her heart:“Emily, our Marie has grown up, and today she is getting engaged. I believe you would be pleased to see it from heaven, right? Lenny is a very outstanding child, and I can see that he cares deeply for Marie. She will be happy when she marries him, so you can rest assured.”
A few people sat down in the living room and chatted.
After a while, Angelica ran downstairs excitedly and shouted, “Sister, come out!”
Everyone turned around and saw Mariela slowly walking down from upstairs, holding a bouquet of flowers.
Lennon’s eyes flashed with astonishment, and even his breath stopped.
Mariela looked stunning today.
The light pink retro–style gown showcased her figure perfectly, with a slender waist that could be held with just one hand.
The delicate makeup made her facial features look more bright and charming, while the beautiful updo hairstyle made her whole person look gentle and graceful, with an elegant temperament.
He had seen this face countless times, and he couldn’t help but be moved by her over and over again.
Lennon smiled and stood up, taking a few steps forward to meet Mariela, and held her hand.
