Jaime instinctively brushed away the hand of the Woman on his arm, and her expression stiffened.

“I am friends with Taryn, too. Is it strange for me to come to her birthday party?” Mariela looked at Jaime with a half–smile. “No, I didn’t mean that. I thought you didn’t like attending such parties, so I didn’t tell you in advance,” he said. Mariela sneered, thinking, “Really? You big liar.

“You didn’t tell me because you wanted to bring someone else.”

After Jaime finished explaining, he coldly scanned the room.

The look in her eyes seemed to be asking who invited her here.

Mariela thought, “So, this is Juliette, Jaime’s first love as well as his beloved.”
