Chapter 196 Jaime:â...â
me and hour, Menu Lauryn didnât exercise often, and after only half an hour, she started complaining about being tired. She took off the backpack, which was not heavy to begin with, and when Lennon approached, she stuffed the backpack into Lennonâs arms.
Lauryn pouted and said, âBrother, Iâm so tired. I canât carry it anymore. Can you help me carry it for a while?â
Lennon pointed at the straps of his backpack on his shoulders and said indifferently, âI couldnât carry it, Iâm already carrying one.â
Lauryn continued to act coquettishly, âBrother, I was really tired, can you please help me?â
âOkay.â
Lauryn heard Lennonâs agreement, her eyes lit up with joy, and a smile formed on her lips.
The next second, Lennon took out his phone and made a call, âI called someone to pick you up from the mountain. Since youâre tired, itâs better to go back and rest early.â
The smile that had not yet blossomed froze in an instant, and Lauryn was filled with astonishment.âBrother, are you going to take me down the mountain?â
you tired?â
Lennon didnât lift his eyelids and continued to bow his head to make a phone call, âYeah, arenât Lauryn panicked and quickly stopped him, âNo need, no need. I just took a break and suddenly felt less tired.â She quickly carried the bag back again, âIâm not tired at all, donât make a phone call.â âLetâs keep going then,â Lennon said, expressionless, as he put away his phone.
Marielaâs eyes flashed with disdain.
She curved her lips and affectionately linked her arm with Lennonâs, sweetly saying, âLenny, letâs go.â
Lauryn:â...â
Jaime:â...â
Lennon was very pleased, feeling all tingly inside from Marielaâs calling, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth.
A few people walked for a while, and a small river appeared ahead.
Lennon supported Mariela as they stepped on the stones to cross the river.âMarie, be careful.â
The last step had a large gap between the stone and the shore, making it difficult for the girl to cross the river. The previous girls were all assisted in crossing the river.
Mariela grabbed Lennonâs hand and crossed the river with his help, when suddenly a cry of alarm came from behind.
Mariela turned her head and saw Lauryn standing on a stone in the middle of the river, her face turning pale.
âBrother, I couldnât make it across. Can you come and help me?â
Lennon paused and frowned at her, then his gaze fell on Jaime standing behind Lauryn. He leisurely spoke, âJaime, where is your gentlemanly demeanor?â
Lauryn froze.
I looked at Lennon in disbelief.
Jaimeâs face darkened slightly as he lifted his eyes to meet Marielaâs calm gaze.
