Chapter 169
Jaime looked out of the window, and Mario followed his gaze with a puzzled expression Suddenly, he froze
In an instant, it became clear why Jaime suddenly asked to stop the car.
On the sidewalk, Mariela walked side by side with a man.
The two of them were facing towards us, not very far away, and we could see their faces clearly.
The man was handsome, elegant in temperament, and dressed impeccably, clearly not an ordinary person
The two of them were talking and laughing, with an intimate posture.
Jaime muttered under his breath, “Being discharged so quickly, I’m really lucky
Mario guessed that the man was probably Mariela’s fiancée.
Jaime opened the car door and walked towards Mariela.
Lennon had been discharged from the hospital for a week.
This week, he was supervised by Mariela every day to eat light meals.
At first, it was fine to eat, but he would also get tired of eating those bland and watery meals every day. Under his persistent persuasion, Mariela finally agreed to improve the food and take him out to eat today. The restaurant Mariela took him to was located in the busiest and most bustling area of the city center. It was a famous old shop in New York, where Lennon and Mariela had been eating since they were young
It was mealtime, and the hall was packed with no empty seats. There was also a long queue outside the restaurant, waiting to get a number. Mariela had made a reservation in advance and arrived at the entrance. She scanned the code and was about to walk inside with the waiter when she was suddenly stopped by someone.
“Mariela!” Mario shouted.
Mariela turned around and the first
person
she saw was Mario.
Then I saw Jaime next to him.
Mariela frowned.
Why is he here?
They really don’t give up.
Jaime and Mario walked up to them.
Mario greeted, “Long time no see, Mariela. So, you’re from New York, huh? Why didn’t I ever hear you mention it before?”
A few days ago, Mario only heard Jaime say that Mariela was from New York and was about to get engaged, but he didn’t know anything else. He did not know that she was the scion of the Logan family, nor did he know that the man next to her was the president of the Stark Group. Juliette and Perla slandered Mariela and offended the Shaw family by accusing her of stealing at the last Shaw family banquet. They were thrown out by the security guards, which was very embarrassing. They didn’t even have time to hide, so naturally they couldn’t talk about it outside.
So the people in their circle still didn’t know about Mariela’s family background.
Mario was one of the few people in Jaime’s circle who had a good moral compass and did not look down on “poor Mariela“.
