Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 453

Loraine was surprised and thought this was the restaurant's tradition.

What she didn't know was that Grady had carefully selected the flowers himself. They had been picked and imported from halfway around the world that day.

Blissfully unaware and curious, Loraine Lowered her head to sample the flowers' beguiling fragrance.

Grady watched her keenly, observing her response. When he saw that she approved of his flowers, he couldn't hold back.

"Loraine, what are your thoughts on marriage? How about we give it a try?"

Loraine shivered involuntarily, accidentally snapping the flower in her hand.

Staring at Grady in shock, she asked, "What did you say?"

Grady was shy but, in an attempt to empower himself, he maintained his steady gaze.

"I'm serious, Loraine. I've thought about it a lot. If I have to get married, it will be better if I choose someone I like. Our family backgrounds, personalities, and aesthetic tastes are very well matched.

I can promise you that after we get married, I won't be as irresponsible as Marco. I will take good care of you!"

The young man's confession of love left Loraine speechless. She was too surprised to say anything.

Just then, the waiter reappeared. He walked over to the table pushing a delicate trolley full of flowers. Among the flowers was a small red velvet box. Its lid was open, displaying the huge diamond ring inside.

Standing up excitedly, Grady went to take the ring so that he could carry out a formal proposal.

Before he could, however, a big hand reached out and slammed the ring box shut.

"I object!"

Mid-aged Men

A man with blue veins on his hands suddenly appeared and closed the box.

"Marco! Why are you here?"

For a moment, Grady was dumbstruck as he gaped in amazement at Marco.

"Grady, before proposing to Loraine, I would advise you to free yourself from your mother's control. Do you have a plan B in case you ask Loraine to marry you now and your mother objects later?" Marco warned with a frown.

He was implying that Grady was a mama's boy.
