Chapter 90 Menu âAfter Juliette came back, you hooked up with her more than once, right?â Mariela said with a dismissive scoff. You think Iâm clueless? I didnât mention it because, honestly, I donât care anymore.â
She didnât care anymore.
Hearing her, Jaime felt a sting in his hean.
His chest tightened, and he looked hunt.
âYou donât care anymore? Well, I do,â Jaimeâs face fell, and he whispered softly. âAll Iâve been thinking about lately is you. I miss you so much. Letâs give it another shot, Marie.â
Disgust washed over Marielaâs eyes.
Was Jaime losing it or something?
He was all angry just a second ago, and now he was acting all victimâlike.
Mariela glared coldly.âNo way.â
âWhy?â Jaime shouted, losing control.
Passersby cast curious glances at them.
Maricla fel embarrassed.
âStop making a scene here! You might not care, but I do.â
Jaime grabbed Marielaâs wrist, emotional.âMariela, come back with me!â
âLet go!â Mariela struggled.
However, Jaimeâs grasp was unyielding, and she couldnât wrench herself free. Mariela narrowed her eyes and said coldly, Let go, or I wonât hold back.â
She was on the verge of decking him.
âI wonât let go!â
Jaime held Manrla with one hand and reached for her head, trying to kiss her.
âMariela, I miss you.â Jaimeâs lips got closer.
Mariela prepared to fight back.
âLet her go!â a voice boomed.
Jaime turned and came faceâtoâface with a formidable man, his hesitation evident. âWho the hell are you?â he demanded.
Lennon didnât look at Jaime properly. Without speaking, he punched Jaimeâs face.
The punch was delivered with all his might, fueled by fury.
Jaime, wincing in pain, released Mariela and clutched the spot where heâd been hit âFuck, Iâll kill you!!
Lennon gently moved Mariela aside, shielding her, and fixed Jaime with a steely, murderous gaze. Through clenched teeth, he growled âStay away from her.â
Jaimeâs anger flared from the impact of the punch, and witnessing Lennon protect Mariela only fueled his fury further, causing a tight, searing sensation in his chest.
He shoved Lennon forcefully.âFuck! Sheâs my girlfriend, keep your hands off her!â
Lennon handed the thermos to Mariela. âWait there.â
Then, he kicked Jaime hard.
Jaime fell to the ground
