Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1029

Marco grasped her hand, gently pulling her into his embrace.

"Loraine, I'm sorry. I failed to protect you. But it's all behind us now. I won't Let it happen again."

Loraine was momentarily stunned, flashes of times when Marco had stepped up to shield her flitting across her mind.

He had stayed true to his promise of protecting her.

It was only when she discerned the steady thump of a heart that Loraine realized she was nestled in the arms of a half-naked Marco.

Instantly, a blush bloomed across her face.

Loraine's initial instinct was to push Marco away.

But when she reached out to do so, her hand accidentally made contact with his muscular chest. Suddenly, a series of indescribable images flooded her mind uncontrollably.

Blushing, she said, "ALL right, I understand. You can let go of me now..."

However, Marco didn't release his grip. Instead, he held her even tighter.

Revealing his true emotions, every word Marco spoke was sincere and filled with warmth.

"Loraine, please Listen to me. I genuinely want to be by your side and protect you."

Hearing this, Loraine felt bashful and attempted to push him away again. But Marco responded by wrapping his arm around her waist and holding her hand with his other hand. They remained tightly intertwined, forcing Loraine to tilt her head up to look at him. She said, "Are you finished? How much longer do you plan on holding onto me?"

Although she complained, her face was flushed, and her eyes reflected deep emotions, as if silently requesting a kiss.

After observing her for a moment, Marco chuckled and slowly Lowered his head.

Seeing his thin lips inching closer and closer, Loraine grew nervous and widened her eyes. Then suddenly, she pushed him away and stood up hastily.

As she stood up, she heard a sharp sound. Her pocket watch had slipped out of her pocket and fallen out.

After Loraine regained her composure, she instinctively bent down to retrieve it.

However, Marco was fast and picked it up first.

Holding the watch chain, he looked at it keenly. Squinting his eyes with a tinge of jealousy, he asked, "Did you get this from the Cruz family's exhibition?" Loraine tried to reclaim it, but Marco sidestepped her. His jealousy was heightened.

"Did Grady give it to you?"
