Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 872

"You don't need to thank me, Loraine. I'd do anything for you," Marco replied, his voice low and tender, his eyes ablaze with passion, causing her heart to race. Unmistakable romance hung between them.

Klein grinned, sharing a knowing wink with Brady and Hubert. Brady's expression said it all as they shared a smile and watched the scene unfold.

But Hubert was in no mood for spectating. Recalling Rowan's instructions, he steeled himself to break the spell that enveloped

Marco and Loraine.

Clearing his throat, Hubert announced, "Ahem! Mr. Bryant, our commander wishes to express his gratitude. An award will be sent to the Bryant family. Please accept it."

Marco's face clouded over. Clenching his teeth, he muttered, "Please thank him for me."

Loraine coughed, saying nothing more.

Soon, they arrived at the lavish restaurant Brady had reserved.

Opulently adorned and providing impeccable service, the establishment offered the utmost privacy.

Upon entering the secluded room, Hubert pulled out a chair for Loraine.

After a moment's consideration, she chose to sit beside Marco.

Hubert, unable to prevent her decision, could only stare in disbelief and dismay. "Miss..."

To mask her embarrassment, Loraine touched her nose, explaining,

"Marco's arm hasn't fully healed. Sitting here makes it easier for me to help him."

"I can assist him. Please, sit here," Hubert offered hastily.

Marco shot him a dangerous glare.

Observing the situation, Klein intervened, holding Hubert back and laughing, "Women tend to be more attentive than men, don't you agree?

Besides, Loraine knows Marco well since they used to be a couple. Let them be."

Hubert's face flushed crimson as he awaited Loraine's response.

Marco watched her nervously.

"It's fine. I'll help Marco." Loraine shook her head at Hubert, remaining in her seat.

Relieved, Marco couldn't help but smile.
