Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 716

She had always considered Cayson as a brother and confidant since they were kids. Although she recognized his good nature, she held no romantic feelings for him and had no desire to marry him. After much hesitation, Loraine said, "Cayson, marrying you won't solve these problems. I've been married before and experienced the pain of marriage. I don't think I can go through that again." Most importantly, she didn't believe she had the courage to take that risk again.

She wouldn't marry Cayson.

ANGELA's LIBRARY

Cayson's heart ached at her decision. His eyes quivered as he said softly, "Lorrie, I understand your fears, but I'm not Marco. My parents are different from the Bryant family. They would never hurt you." Loraine shook her head, her tone serious. "That's not the issue."

She had married Marco because she loved him. Now, she couldn't marry

Cayson just for Universe Group's interests.

Upon hearing her firm refusal, Cayson felt disappointed.

Feeling awkward, Loraine fell silent for a moment before asking hesitantly, "Cayson, why the sudden desire to marry me?"

If Cayson were to say that he loved her, Loraine would certainly distance herself from him.

Cayson was well aware of how Loraine had rejected and distanced herself from several suitors. Just hearing her question made him nervous.

He realized he had been too hasty, but he couldn't help being on guard.

Cayson carefully avoided the answer Lorrie dreaded and regained his usual composure. He said with a hint of distress, "It's all because of my parents. They're eager for me to marry someone. Lorrie, you're my only close female friend. After much thought, I felt I had no choice but to ask for your help."

Loraine breathed an imperceptible sigh of relief and joked, "It's my fault. I've been away from the company for so long that you've been consumed by mundane group matters, leaving you no time to find a girlfriend." The tense atmosphere dissipated gradually. Cayson smiled but remained silent.

Loraine cleared her throat and said, "You just won the project. How about this? I'll give you a holiday as a reward for your return from your business trip. Take a good rest and enjoy yourself."

Cayson's face momentarily froze. He struggled to restrain himself from asking, "Are you giving me a holiday so I won't interfere in the cooperation with Bryant Group?" Fortunately, he managed to hold his tongue. He put on a smile and said, "Okay. Thank you, Lorrie."

After they separated, Loraine checked her phone.

She was taken aback by the messages on the screen. Thinking that it was Qbot, she called out tentatively.

The screen flashed, and a new message appeared.
