Chapter 55
Anchorage?
Jaime’s eyes flickered
Why did this place sound so familiar?
It occurred to Jaime that he had heard Mariela mention it before.
She said she wanted to take a trip to Anchorage during the holidays.
What did he say back then?
There would be so many people during the holidays. He didn’t want such a trip.
It was now a holiday. Jaime instinctively wanted to refuse Juliette, but when he thought of Mariela, he changed his mind.
“Alright, let’s go to Alaska.”
After watching TV with Juliette for a while, Jaime was still fretful in his heart.
“You just gor discharged from the hospital. Have a good rest at home. I have something to take care of and need to go out for a while.”
Juliette was sensible and didn’t ask him where to go.
Since Mariela had just broken up with him, it was normal for him to be upset for the time being. He needed some time to compose himself. Thus Juliette didn’t want to push him too hard.
She smiled gracefully, “Okay, I’ll wait for you at home.”
After leaving the house, Jaime called Mario.

Mario quickly changed the topic.
“Jay, I haven’t seen you these days. What have you been busy with lately?”
Jaime sat down on the edge of the sofa and lit a cigarette.“Juliette was injured and was in hospital for a few days I was there for her.” Mario looked puzzled. “Jay, didn’t you just say that Marie is your girlfriend? You have been at the hospital with Juliette. Didn’t Mariela get upset. with you?”
Jaime’s face darkened.
Not only did Mariela cause a scene, but she also wanted to break up with him.
With this in mind, Jaime took a puff of his cigarette and said, “We had a quarrel She wanted to break up with me”
