Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 891

"Lorrie, your grandfather wants to make us a match. Why don't we just do as he wishes?"

Loraine froze, and was about to stand subconsciously, when Cayson suddenly chuckled to reassure her.

"I'm just kidding. Are you so scared by the idea?"

Loraine Looked to him, shocked, and skeptical of his statement. "Was it really a joke?"

Cayson gave her a kind smile.

"Lorrie, you refused my proposal before.

I know what you're thinking. Why would I make things difficult for you?

Don't worry. I will always respect your decision."

Loraine was relieved to hear this as she sighed.

"I was really nervous there. Good. We're still best friends, then."

Cayson smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes, which were full of disappointment.

Loraine didn't notice, though. She just picked up her cup of tea and sipped it.

She was just relieved that he no longer liked her. Otherwise, she'd have to stop talking to him, and, in turn, would lose a best friend and a brother.

Not Drink Tea

Loraine finished drinking her tea and dropped the teacup. But when

Cayson noticed this, he took the cup and poured more water into it.

Then he gave it back to Loraine, but in the process, his fingertips brushed against her hand, and she immediately withdrew her hand. "I can get the tea by myself," she said to Cayson with an awkward smile.

Cayson seemed disappointed. He hung his head and asked sadly, "Lorrie, are you distancing yourself away from me?"

Loraine froze.

Cayson chuckled to himself and shook his head in self-pity. "You haven't even contacted me all these days. You didn't tell me about anything. Can't we still be friends?"

Loraine always treated Cayson like a brother. He was an indispensable assistant in her business. So, she certainly did care about him.

"Cayson, don't misunderstand. I admit that I didn't know how to face you; that was why I didn't dare send you a message or call you. You're very important to me and I want us to sort out our relationship." "Okay." Cayson nodded with a faint smile. "Since you said you were not seeking to distance yourself from me, my mind now feels much easier.
