Chapter 969

Larissa was unable to sleep the entire night because of what she’d seen at the restaurant.

She couldn’t get Marilyn and Allen’s smiles out of her head.

She didn’t know what they meant, but she felt like it had something to do with her.

Early the next day, Larissa received a call from Marilyn.

“Larissa!” Marilyn sounded anxious. “I accidentally broke the bracelet you gave me last night! Do you know if there’s a place where I could get it repaired?”

Larissa calmly told her the seller’s address. “You can just head over. I’ll let them know online.”

“Could you come with me. Larissa? I’ve never bought these types of bracelets before. I don’t know what it’s like to repair them. What if the

“I don’t know, either.” Larissa wasn’t lying. She had never bought jewelry like this. She just thought that this was a trustworthy shop.

“If you’re worried about it, you can put off the repairs. I’ll ask about it another day and see if there are any reliable jewelers in Westonia.”
