Goodbye, My Love

Just as she was about to continue her tirade, Loraine, standing beside

Marco, swiftly ended the call.

Accustomed to Liza’s verbal abuse, Marco didn’t immediately react to disconnect the call. He looked slightly stunned as he This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

glanced at

Loraine.

Finding his perplexed expression amusing, Loraine pinched his cheek, grinning as she said, “There’s no need to subject yourself

to such unpleasantness. Besides, you’re no Longer tied to the Bryant family, so there’s no need to feel guilty about rejecting their

manipulation, understand?”

Marco nodded, his gaze turning downcast with a touch of melancholy.

Loraine’s heart softened, and she gently patted Marco’s shoulder in an attempt to comfort him.

Marco moved closer, wrapping an arm around her waist, and found her lips with his.

He tenderly kissed the corner of her mouth before pulling back slightly. Their noses touched as he confessed with a tinge of self-deprecation, “You know, I’ve always yearned to understand what it feels Like to have a family.”

“No matter how much effort I put in before, I never truly felt it. I did my best to meet Grandma’s expectations. I cleaned up after Marina and Laura’s mistakes… yet, in the end, I was always an outsider.” He was revealing his deepest thoughts for the first time. “But now, with you here in this small house, I finally understand what it means to have a family.”

Loraine listened quietly, her mind wandering to the Bryant family members.

She embraced him gently, comprehending the hardships he had faced growing up in such a family. It was no wonder he used to be so cold, detached, and unreasonable. Thankfully, since his departure from the

Bryant family, he had become more warm and affectionate.

He was now the sensitive, affectionate, and adaptable Marco, no Longer the aloof and distant CEO he had been.

Loraine softly patted his back.

“This place is near the Universe Group.

I can visit you more often in the future.”

Even though their relationship was still in its testing phase, their bond had strengthened considerably. Loraine eagerly anticipated

more frequent dates with him.

Dealing with a puppy who would occasionally act coquettishly required giving him some affection in return.

“Really?” Marco looked up at her in surprise, before hesitating, “If I had known, I would have bought a bigger house.”

It wasn’t a problem for him, but he didn’t want Loraine to live in such a small place with him. After all, he wasn’t truly penniless.

Concerned about his precarious financial situation, Loraine gently coughed and declined, “Actually… this place is rather

charming, and its compact size adds to the coziness, don’t you think?”

She wanted to distract Marco from focusing on financial matters.
