Chapter80
When Lauryn fell, Mariela thought her engagement to Lennon might be delayed.
She didn’t expect Lauryn’s plans to backfire, helping her instead. Instead of making Lennon resent her, it sped up his confession. After that night, Mariela started to like Lennon.
It wasn’t deep, and certainly not love.
After her failed relationship with Jaime, Mariela couldn’t fall in love quickly again.
But being unconditionally trusted and favored was unavoidably touching.
The engagement party date was set..
It was on the 19th of the next month.
It was early October now, with just over a month left.
On this day, Lennon accompanied Mariela to a high–end luxury clothing store.
In the VIP room.
Mariela and Lennon sat on the sofa, watching models with similar figures to Mariela showcase the latest season’s designs.
That light blue dress is nice,” Lennon whispered close to Mariela’s ear.
I like that one too,” Mariela agreed and that beige coat looks good.”
As they talked, Mariela’s phone beeped twice..
She took out her phone and checked it
Lennon turned away, respecting her privacy.
She received several photos in a message.
Mariela looked through them one by one.
They showed Juliette and Jaime together.
The background appeared to be in Alaska.
Next, Juliette sent a text.
“He didn’t want to come to Alaska with you, so I came in your place. Alaska is beautiful, but sadly, you can’t see it

She felt unsafe traveling alone and wanted Jaime to join her.
She wanted to visit Alaska because she had longed to explore it for a long time, especially after having traveled to many other places before.
Now, traveling anywhere was easy.
Mariela didn’t respond.
She considered blocking Juliette but decided against it.
Juliette’s behavior was amusing.
She wanted to see what else Juliette would do.
She might as well keep her as an entertaining contact.
With that thought, she put her phone away
Juliette leaned on Jaime’s chest, sending carefully chosen and edited photos.
Jaime held her, watching her send them to Mariela.
