Jaime pulled his thoughts back, collected himself, and coldly replied, “Nothing.”

Juliette no longer asked any more questions. She gazed at Jaime with her beautiful eyes, looking fragile.“Jay, are my hands crippled? I’ll never be able to play the piano again, right?”
Juliette used to study piano before. She went abroad to a famous foreign music academy for further education.
Before returning home, she had started managing her Instagram account. She had so far accumulated over one million followers and was a famous internet celebrity.
Jaime’s expression softened a bit. A hint of sympathy and affection appeared in his eyes.“Don’t think too much. The doctor said it was just a superficial injury

Jaime reached out and ruffled her hair.“No.”
Juliette raised her eyes and met Jaime’s gaze. She asked with a pitiful expression, “Jay, if, I mean if, my injury were more severe, and I could never play the piano again, would you forgive Mariela?”
Jaime said in a cold voice with deep dark eyes.“Don’t even mention your injury being more serious. Even with this condition, I won’t forgive her if she doesn’t apologize to you.

Mariela unfriended him to make him soothe her. But this time, he didn’t want to.
Mariela arrived at the lobby of the hotel. She saw Lennon at first glance.
Lennon was dressed in a black shirt and trousers, fully showcasing his superior figure with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His facial features were sharp and clean–cut, with deep eyebrows and handsome eyes. His appearance hadn’t changed much compared to three years ago. He was still outrageously good–looking.

Mariela pursed her lips and replied softly, “I’m fine.”
“Mr. Stark, I will be excused now,” Lennon’s assistant said respectfully.
Lennon nodded.
The top–floor suite of the five–star hotel was luxuriously decorated, offering a wide view. Standing in front of the floor–to–ceiling windows, one could overlook the entire night view of Los Angeles.
