Chapter70 Mariela listened silently, not responding She wondered, what if Lauryn tried to hun her?
Would he react the same way Mariela had just returned to New York. Fiona and Caylee took her out to eat, drink, have fun, shop, and stroll every day.
She off sending her resume to Vanguard Law Associates for now Today, they had planned to meet up to enjoy some desserts.
Fiona went to a bur last night and got home around two FI three in the morning looking tired today.
âRecently, itâs just been shopping, drinking, and hitting the clubs, Iâm really over it,â Fiona sighed, resting her elbows on the table.
Suddenly, her face lit up âYou know what? The weatherâs absolutely perfect today. How about we head over to Cayleeâs equestrian club this afternoon?â
Cayleeâs family owned the biggest equestrian club in New York.
They had all taken horseback riding lessons together before.
Mariela smiled and teased âAre you sober? If not, donât go. Thatâs drunk driving.â
âI sobered up ages ago,â Fiona responded with a mischievous grin. âLast night, I ended up throwing up on Darryl. Poor guy turned the color of a lime.â
Caylee gave a gentle smile, âDidnât Darryl get upset about that?
Fiona said, âTo my surprise, Darryl is practically like my brother now. Even after I threw up on him, he just changed his clothes, took a shower, and then made me some tea,â
Darryl and Fiona were not biologically related.
Darrylâs mom died young from illness.
Fionaâs parents divorced when she was seven because their relationship failed.
Later, Darrylâs dad met Fionaâs mom through a friend and they quickly married.
Fiona met Darryl when she was nine.
Darryl was fourteen then, a rebellious teen. He didnât like his stepmom or Fiona On their first meeting, he pulled Fionaâs ponytail and told her to leave.
Fiona wasnât easily intimidated.
She instantly damped down hard on Darrylâs wrist with her teeth, leaving a scar that remained visible even now, Mariela stirred her coffee with a spoon, her eyes fixed on Fiona. âYou were definitely sent to give him a hard time.ââ
Fiona snorted, âHe always pranked me.â
After talking about daily things, Fiona asked, âAre you going to the equestrian club? I havenât ridden in a while.â
