Chapter 480
Dustin, standing nearby, wanted to say something, but without Lennon’s permission, he couldn’t interject.
Despite Lennon’s humble apology, Deandre wasn’t having it.

A fire burned in his heart. With a dark face, he said coldly, “What’s the use of apologizing? Can a simple ‘sorry‘ heal the harm done to
Marie?”
Lennon remained silent.
Deandre snorted again, then stormed off carrying Angelica.
Haleigh didn’t say anything, just followed behind.
Mariela also followed.
As she passed Lennon, Lennon grabbed Mariela’s wrist.“Marie…”
Mariela stopped and looked up at him.“Is there something else?”
Lennon’s eyes were deep, filled with pain, his posture humble.“Can we make up?”
Mariela was stunned.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
It took her a while to react, then she frowned and asked, “What are you saying?”
She thought, “Make up?
“At this point, how could we possibly make up?”
Not to mention that Bella dislikes her and strongly opposed their relationship, even if, by some miracle, she agreed, she wouldn’t reconcile with him anymore.
Between them lay the kidnapping of Angelica. Both Mariela and Angelica had nearly lost their lives. Deandre now harbored a deep hatred for the Stark family. Even if she still had lingering feelings for him, there was no way they could reconcile.
So even though she had learned the truth about their breakup from Nikolas’s subordinate, she knew that the female celebrity he was rumored with was his cousin, and knew that she held an important place in his heart, even willing to risk his life to save her.She still didn’t bring up reconciliation.
She couldn’t turn back anymore.
There was no possibility between them anymore.
Mariela had thought Lennon understood this well.
But now it seemed he still harbored unrealistic delusions.
Suddenly, Mariela’s heart ached.
In truth, she also found it hard to accept this outcome.
But this was a dead end.
She was trapped, her body and mind suffering with no way out. It was true that Lennon had saved Angelica.
But the fact was, if it weren’t for Lennon, Angelica wouldn’t have been kidnapped and wouldn’t have been in danger.
If it weren’t for Lennon, she wouldn’t have become Nikolas’s target for revenge against Lennon.
Seeing Mariela lower her gaze in silence, Lennon’s eyes reddened at the corners, his throat dry and bitter, his heart aching to the point of suffocation.
After a long while, Mariela heard her own hoarse voice.“We can’t go back, Lennon. We can never The grip on her wrist tightened suddenly, then gradually loosened.
