Chapter 171
But times have changed.
She no longer cared about him.

She could completely ignore Jaime.
Mariela ordered her favorite dishes and also ordered a glass of chilled beverage.
When the drink was brought over, Jaime suddenly said, “Your period is coming soon, don’t drink anything cold.”
Mariela rolled her eyes in her mind, picked up the cup and took two sips, squinted her eyes and showed a satisfied expression.
She said to the person next to her, Lennon, “It’s been a long time since I had this, it still tastes the same as before. Lenny, do you want to try it?” When the girl looked at Lennon, there were tiny sparks in her eyes, and a sweet smile always adorned her face, even the air around her was
sweet.
Lennon took the cup and took a sip from the straw Mariela had used.
Their expressions and movements were all very natural, without any sense of discord.
Mario understood everything when he saw this scene.
Mariela and Lennon used to get along like this all the time, their relationship was very good, it didn’t seem like they were acting deliberately.
That Jaime…
He discreetly glanced at the man sitting across from him.
Jaime’s chin tightened, his eyes fixed firmly on Mariela, that gaze carrying a hint of anger mixed with a touch of hurt. However, Mariela didn’t even spare him a glance.
Jaime’s fingers, holding the cup, turned pale, and Mario was worried that he would crush the cup in the next second.
Mario sighed inwardly.
Brother, why did you have to do this again?
“Did you
order the food?” Mario tried to divert Jaime’s attention.
Jaime, however, as if he hadn’t heard, continued to look at Mariela without responding.
Mario shook his head helplessly and took out his phone to scan the QR code and order food.
Mariela’s dishes were all ready.
Jaime looked at the seafood on the table over there and frowned, “Aren’t you allergic to seafood? Why are you still ordering seafood?”
Mariela paid no attention and enjoyed eating the shrimp that Lennon had peeled for her, dipping it in sauce.
Mario coughed awkwardly and cautiously spoke up, “Jay, is it possible… I mean… Mariela wasn’t actually allergic to seafood. She used to avoid ordering seafood when eating with you because you were allergic to it.”
Jaime heard these words and suddenly turned his head to look, “What did you say?”
Mario repeated again, “Mariela wasn’t allergic to seafood, she used to be with you before, because you were allergic to seafood, that’s why she didn’t order any seafood.”
“How did you know?”
“I once met her having dinner with her colleagues, ordering a table full of seafood…”
Jaime pursed his lips into a straight line, his eyes flickering with disbelief.“Really?”
