Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1038

Feeling a wave of melancholy wash over her, Loraine began packing up the first aid kit, her expression icy.

Marco watched her hesitantly, inching closer to her with caution.

Seeing that Loraine didn't push him away, Marco edged even closer.

Not long ago, Marco had been a ruthless commander, issuing brutal orders to snap rascal's arms without remorse. Now he was as timid as a puppy, seeking Loraine's attention.

Tentatively, he tugged on her sleeve, speaking in a low, soft voice.

"Loraine, did I upset you?"

Loraine's response was to slam the lid on the medical kit shut, leveling a cool glare at him.

After a beat, Marco confessed, his tone sincere, "I was wrong. The fault is entirely mine. I swear, I won't repeat it."

Seeing his anxiety, Loraine couldn't help but erupt in Laughter.

She was unsure why she had been so infuriated. Was it due to Marco's past encounters with numerous women?

However, there were times when he was so obtuse that he did not understand the point of the women who wanted to flirt with him. And all that was history. Now that they were divorced, what right did she have to hold him accountable?

Marco visibly relaxed at her Laughter.

Not wanting to annoy her again, he queried carefully, "Loraine, how are you planning to handle Kassidy?"

The mention of Kassidy wiped the smile off Loraine's face.

She had tolerated and conceded repeatedly at the banquet, which only emboldened Kassidy and encouraged her to take liberties.

Loraine's response was a cold, cutting chuckle. Her voice dropped to a low register, "I'll make sure she gets a taste of her own medicine." Within the walls of the Cruz family mansion, Grady stood staring at his phone, bewildered.

What was Marco implying?

His cousin, Kassidy?

A frown creased his forehead as disgust surged within him. Had Kassidy caused more trouble for Loraine?

Earlier that evening, post Loraine's departure from the exhibition,

Grady had been preoccupied with subsequent tasks.

He was swamped, and given his distaste for Kassidy, he hadn't bothered tracking her whereabouts.
