Chapter79
“Hmm Lennon seemed confused.
Mariela replied gently, Lennon, can’t you see what Lauryn truly wants?”
Lennon sail“What do you mean?“
Mariela said slowly. She targets me because of you.”
Lennon frowned and stayed quiet.
Mariela looked into his eyes, speaking clearly, Lauryn likes you, so she sees me as a rival. She does these things to drive us apart.”
Lennon furrowed his brows, still silem, thinking deeply
Mariela kept walking.
Lennon caught up “Marie, wait.”
Mariela opened the car door and got in the driver’s seat,
Lennon got in the passenger seat
As he buckled his seatbelt, he said. “I understand now. I’ll stay away from her.
Mariela’s hand paused.“Why?”
Lennon said. “You said she likes me. I didn’t know before; I just saw her as a sister. Now I know, I need to keep my distance.”
He said seriously, “Marie, I want you to feel completely secure in our relationship.”
Mariela asked, “Why do you believe me unconditionally? Lauryn grew up with you; shouldn’t you trust her more? Why believe me?”
Lennon gazed at her, his eyes gentle.“I told you
his eyes gentle.“I told you in the hospital, I know you’re not that kind of person.”
“Is that the only reason you feel that way?”
Just because he trusted her character?

Lennon’s love for Marjel was unmistakably evident in his eyes.
He said firmly, “It’s also because I love you. Love means trusting without question.”
Mariela’s heart pounded hard.
She turned away, her face flushed.
Was this a confession?
Seeing her blush, Lennon smiled.
Mariela looked adorable when she blushed.
The next day, Snowphie’s test results came back.
All indicators were normal
But a scar was found on the horse’s neck, likely from a needle scratch.
The wound’s location suggested someone on the horse’s back did it.
After hearing this, Lennon stopped visiting Lauryn in the hospital.
The Stark family hired a top caregiver for Lauryn, and the maid brought meals on time, three times a day. Lennon stayed by Mariela’s side every day, accompanying her as she tried on wedding dresses, selected jewelry, and planned their engagement
party.
Despite Lauryn’s antics, he never returned to the hospital
