First Loves Return Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 361

Chapter 361 

He walked in, reeking of alcohol and coldness. His eyes scanned the room as he took in the house with a faint expression. 

Deandre treated Marie well, and the house seemed decent enough. 

Lucy placed a glass of water on the coffee table in the living room and said, “Mr. Stark, please have a seat and rest for a while. I will be right 

back.” 

“Where’s her room?” 

Lucy pointed toward Mariela’s bedroom.“Ms. Logan’s room is the first one on the left.” 

Lennon couldn’t spare time to rest. He hurried toward her room. 

The door was not locked. Lennon opened it and walked in, just in time to hear Mariela talking in her sleep. 

“Lenny, Lenny…” 

She cried out, “Why don’t you want me…” 

Lennon’s heart clenched at her cries. 

He stepped closer to the bed. 

Marie was still mumbling in her sleep. 

“Lennon, you’re a jerk… I don’t want you… Go away…” 

Lennon lowered his gaze, his eyelashes trembling. He gently reached out to wipe away her tears. His tone was as soft as a stream of water.“Yeah, I am a jerk.” 

Mariela seemed to sense Lennon’s presence, instinctively moving closer to him.“Lenny…”

Her emotions shifted in her sleep. Sometimes she was like an angry lion, scolding Lennon and telling him to go away, and other times, like a sweet kitten, rubbing her face against his hand. 

“Lenny, don’t go, don’t leave me. I’ll be good…” 

Lennon’s heart softened.“I’m here and I won’t leave.” 

His soft 

gaze 

held a deep affection as he felt the warm, gentle touch of her face rubbing against his hand. 

The long–lost feeling of happiness surged within him, bittersweet and stolen, filling him up from the inside. 

He sat by her bed, gazing at Mariela for a long time, never getting enough of looking at her. 

Lucy 

tidied up her things and went to say goodbye to Lennon before leaving. As she walked toward the door, she caught a glimpse of this scene through the crack, so she didn’t make any noise to disturb them. She quietly left. 

Lennon couldn’t help but lean down and kiss Mariela’s flushed cheek. 

It was pure 

and without any desire. 

Mariela seemed to react. She groaned and suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, murmuring, “Lenny…” 

Her voice rose in a soft, flirtatio 

Lennon’s back stiffened instantly, 

1. e. 

tingling sensation spread through his body.
