Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 949

But once the Lie began, it became harder to stop. I'm sorry I've hidden this from you until now."

Loraine didn't reveal that she had known the truth a long time ago.

Nonetheless, his explanation eased her mind.

She kept her emotions hidden, responding with a sneer, "Do you know why

I ignored you?"

Marco lowered his head and apologized sincerely.

"It's entirely my fault. I wasn't there for you when you needed me most. But I promise this is the Last time. I won't let anyone hurt you, even my own family."

Loraine's heart wavered, and she bit her lip, retorting, "You always claim it's the last time. But the outcome never changes, does it?"

"No, that won't happen again."

Marco's expression grew somber for a moment before resolving with determination.

Loraine, startled, was about to inquire further when she was interrupted by a shout.

"Mr. Bryant, Miss Torres, your speeches are up next!"

A staff member rushed over to usher them onto the stage.

Loraine had neglected to check the time when she left the dressing room, not anticipating that their turn would arrive so quickly. Now, she was in a rush. Worried about the distance to the stage,

Loraine's anxiety grew.

"Let's head to the stage!"

Suddenly, Marco grabbed her hand and began to run. Before she could object, Loraine found herself being pulled forward.

His grip was firm, transferring the warmth of his palm to hers, enveloping her hand securely.

Her previously somber mood seemed to brighten up slightly.

As Loraine and Marco rushed onto the stage, the curtains gradually drew back, revealing the scene.

They arrived at the stage precisely on time, neither early nor late.

Illuminated by a bright spotlight, Loraine breathed heavily, momentarily forgetting that she was still holding onto Marco's hand.
