Chapter 1206
“Where are you?”
Reading her message, Marco felt his spirits lifting. The thought of
Loraine missing him brought a smile to his face.
But the image of Keely fleeing to the gazebo paused his response.
He resolved not to mention Keely. After all, today marked the end of her involvement in his life, and she would never cross paths with
Loraine. There was no need to dampen Loraine’s spirits by bringing it up.
“I’m at work. What’s up?” Marco responded.

However, there was no response from Loraine.
Rowan and Wesley aided Aldo to take shelter under the gazebo as the rain started to pour down relentlessly and the chill in the air increased.
Aldo, who was still recovering from a serious operation, couldn’t withstand the cold any Longer and his complexion grew ashen.
“I’LL fetch my umbrella from the vehicle! We should move Dad to the car immediately!” Wesley declared, and then took off towards the parking area.
The rain had caught them off guard, with only an extra umbrella left in the car. Wesley and Rowan guided Aldo towards the vehicle, intending to return afterwards for Loraine.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
However, Loraine had a different idea, her mind occupied with other thoughts. Trying to conceal her motives, she said, “Grandpa, Uncle
Rowan, Uncle Wesley, I wish to Linger here a bit longer. You may proceed without me.”
They assumed that she wanted some private time at her parents’ gravesites, a result of missing them. They didn’t argue, instead, they urged her to head home early.
With a simple nod, Loraine acknowledged their concern. After their silhouettes blurred into the rainy background, she retrieved her phone to Look over her messages.
A crease formed on Loraine’s forehead as she read Marco’s reply.
She was confident that she wasn’t mistaken, as she was so acquainted with Marco’s appearance that she could recognize him with ease.
Yet, she was puzzled as to why Marco had deceived her.
Suddenly, a woman wearing a black coat darted into the gazebo.
Recognizing the woman, Loraine queried coldly, “Keely, what brings you here? Are you tailing me? What scheme are you cooking up this time?”
Upon seeing Loraine, Keely draped her black coat over herself with a haughty air. She scoffed and retorted, “You assume I’m trailing you?
Loraine, stop being so narcissistic! I’m the one who should be questioning you! What on earth are you doing here? I was under the impression that you were tailing Marco and me.”
