Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1037

Her cold response washed over Grady, leaving him ashen

Was she distancing herself from him?

Yet, Loraine, the woman who placed such importance on personal boundaries, was at Marco's home at this Late hour.

Grady's teeth ground together as the words tumbled out of his mouth before he could think.

"And Marco? He's exempt from respecting your personal time? Have you forgotten the pain he's caused you? Loraine, he's just going to hurt you again!"

Loraine froze, Grady's words plunging her into an unexpected realization.

When had she grown so comfortable with Marco's boundary-crossing actions?

Marco's face darkened, his gaze drifting to Loraine as he issued a retort.

"Grady, how dare you? Who truly harmed Loraine? Aren't you aware that outside your family's house, Loraine almost..."

His words hung in the air, abruptly cut short by Loraine's interjection.

"That's enough," she stated, her expression darkening.

Grady, sensing something amiss, pressed on.

"What happened outside the

Cruz home? Loraine, did you get into some trouble? Are you okay?"

Loraine had no wish to relive the harrowing incident. Each time it was brought up, she had to navigate the tormenting details once again.

So she held her silence.

Marco, looking at her with concern, sneered at Grady, "If you're so keen on knowing, go ask your darling cousin Kassidy."

With that, Marco snatched the phone from Loraine's hand and ended the call.

Loraine stood in shock. She wanted to intercede, but it was already too late. "Why... why did you end the call so abruptly?" Marco, his expression stern, retorted, "You'd be wise to steer clear of that fool, lest his troubles spill over onto you.”

Loraine snorted in bitter amusement. "Mr. Bryant, Look who's talking!

You're no better than him, aren't you?"

Taken aback, Marco spluttered, choking on his own words.
