Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 994

Blushing, Grady happily nodded in confirmation.

Florence breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"That's good. I was afraid she'd turn down our family."

Florence took great pride in her strategic thinking. She firmly believed that if Grady took the initiative and Loraine wasn't opposed to it, she would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to become part of the Cruz family. If a marriage could establish a connection between their family and the

Torres family, they might even gain recognition from the influential
