Goodbye, My Love

“I didn’t do it alone. Marco deserves some credit as well.”

Memorial Day

Suddenly, a hushed silence swept through the room.

A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y

Rowan, who knew of Marco’s numerous acts of kindness to their family, hesitated and made no reply. Aldo’s features shifted subtly, but he remained silent as well.

Wesley, however, didn’t possess such a level head. He promptly shot back, somewhat suspiciously, “Why is Marco doing this? He and Loraine are divorced, yet mow he’s displaying increased concern for her!

Lorrie, be cautious. Don’t let him deceive you with his honeyed words again!”

Rowan and Aldo also had a clear understanding of Marco’s motives.

However, they refrained from calling him out, fearing that Loraine might once again place faith in his words and reconcile with him.

Loraine offered a slight nod. At that juncture, Aldo suggested, “We should be expressing our gratitude to the Bryant family.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Rowan’s and Wesley’s expressions shifted slightly. Loraine was also surprised. Then Aldo continued, “We should prepare all the requisite tokens of gratitude, lest the Bryants feel we lack appreciation.”

It was evident Aldo was still maintaining some distance from the Bryant family. An inexplicable gloom shaded Loraine’s face. Noticing her subtle reaction, Aldo adopted a serious tone, stating firmly, “Lorrie, the fact that Marco assisted us is undeniable. I will always remember his generosity. However, I will also never forget the pain he inflicted on you in the past!”

“In the younger generation, an exceptional young man Like Marco indeed stands out. The collaboration between Universe Group and Bryant Group is beneficial, but how can you be certain that his charm and closeness aren’t driven by his self-interest? He’s kind to you now, but what about the actions he took when you were married?”

Aldo would never erase the memory of Loraine’s returning from the

Bryant family in tears. Regardless of Marco’s merits, Aldo wouldn’t risk trusting him again.

Loraine appeared taken aback and instinctively defended Marco,

“Grandpa, he’s changed now. I believe he isn’t acting out of self-interest. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have compromised his gains in the partnership. He vowed never to deceive me again and even severed ties with Keely…”

With a keen gaze on her, Aldo questioned in a hushed tone, “Are you certain?”

Caught off guard, Loraine was momentarily speechless, biting her lip in silence.

Shaking his head, Aldo refrained from further discussion about Marco.

Turning to Loraine, he said, “Lorrie, I won’t harp on this any longer.

Reflect on it. Your parents’ memorial day is in two days. The doctor mentioned that I’m fit to leave the hospital now. You can return home and start making preparations. We’ll attend the memorial together.”

Upon hearing this, they decided not to disturb Aldo’s rest any further and silently filed out of the room.
