< Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Menu Juliette put away her phone and lowered her head with a sad expression.
âhay, are you tired of me Her tone was full of grievances.
Jaime sighed, ultimately not wanting to make her unhappy.
âNo, I just have a slight headache now. The trip is not urgent. Letâs discuss it when I feel better after restingâ
âOkay.â Juliette leaned into Jaimeâs embrace, gently wrapping her arms around his waist.
In New York In a leisure clubâs chess and card room, several young men sat together playing cards Carsen noticed the watch on Lennonâs wrist with keen eyes. He held a cigarette and smiled charmingly, teasing, âYouâve changed your watch, right?â
Lennon played a card and said with cand and said with a beaming smile, âHow is it? Looks good, right? Itâs a gift from Marie.â
âReally? It is from Marie. You make me jealous. A man with a fiancée is really enviable, Darryl teased with a smile.
Carsen asked in confusion, âWhy do you agree to be related to the Logan family by marriage? Is that your parentsâ wish? I donât think they would do so.â
Although Lennon and Mariela were in the same social circle, there was difference in their social status.
Lennon was the most prestigious man in the circle, and the Stack family was the most influential. As the legitimate heir of the Stark family, his first choice for marriage would definitely not be one from the Logan family.
Lennon smiled gendy, his eyes softening, âWeâre not getting married just to make connections between two families.â
Darryl exclaimed in shock, âWhat? Then, why do you agree to marry her?â
Lennon said. âThree years ago, it was me who took the initiative to go to Deandre. I waited patiently for Marie to graduate. As soon as the time was up. I went to her father.â
âBack then, I told him that he could ask for anything, as long as he let me marry Marie.â Lennonâs eyes gleamed at the thought.
After so many years, he was finally going to get what he had longed for Darryl clicked his tongue and looked incredulous. âYouâve been in love with Marie for a long time, havenât you? You hid it well. I canât believe weâve been friends for so many years and I didnât notice.â
Carsen laughed and teased, âSo, youâve been secretly in love with her all these years? Why didnât you say it earlier? Since you behaved with no interest in women, I thought you were gay.â
Darryl became interested and started gossiping. âWhen did you start liking Marie?
Lennon focused on the cards in his hand without even looking up.
âItâs a secret.â
Darryl said with a loathsome look, âDonât put on airs. Marie ran away from home back then to avoid an arranged marriage.
Maybe she never even thought of marrying you. The gift she gave you was just a polite gesture, so donât get too excited too soon.
