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?"

"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." "But this is your farewell gift to me! I want to get it fixed and put it on quickly." Marilyn didn't seem willing to take her suggestion. "Please.

Larissa put her phone down, her face somber.

"Who are you going to pick up?" Lewis glanced at her and bit into the sandwich that she'd just made. He scoffed. "And it's so mysterious." "Marilyn," Larissa replied.

"But you're coming with me." She looked at Lewis.

"What?" He was stunned.
