Goodbye, My Love

Loraine was dumbstruck.

“So, Angela was shipping you and me? Come on!

That’s unbelievable.”

A slight change in Marco’s expression was followed by a soft cough. He clarified, “There are quite a lot of shippers who ship us together.”

Initially, he had paid for their shipping to be spread across the internet, which was Later blacklisted and filtered by Loraine’s family.

Nevertheless, he had succeeded in amassing a small group of genuine shippers.

Lost in thought, Loraine let the issue slip from her mind. Instead, she was perplexed.

“How did you know that Angela ships us?”

“Her hairpin, it’s an abbreviation of our names…”

Stunned, Loraine was left in disbelief. Did they really have a shipping community? Had they actually run into one of them just now?

“How did you figure that out?” Incredulous, Loraine blurted out her question. When did Marco, a notorious workaholic, gain such insight into fan culture?

She was slowly recognizing this transformation in Marco. Once a man as cold as ice, seemingly forever untouchable, he had gradually begun to change. His current behavior had caught her off guard.

“Loraine, my desire is to be with you, which is why I strive to know everything about you.”

Marco locked eyes with her, his voice filled with sincerity.

“I realize that we can’t be together presently, but even if it’s through these imaginative fan creations online, I’m willing to Lose myself in them.”

As Marco uttered those words, Loraine felt a sharp twinge of bitterness and a suffocating wave of emotions from her past, which engulfed her in an instant.

Marco, the man who had never shown consideration for others’ feelings, seemed to have the uncanny ability to read her thoughts, whispering gently, “Loraine, you’re the only one who holds a place in my heart.

Even if I seek refuge in hollow comforts, I would never allow myself to be with another woman, including Keely.”

Hearing this, Loraine’s eyes wavered with emotion.

With a sigh, Marco continued, “In truth, I settled this matter in my heart long ago. My obligation is to Jorge, not his fiancée. I pledged to look after Keely and I’ve fulfilled that duty over the years, perhaps too well. I won’t put up with her antics anymore, nor will I let her treat you poorly.”

He paused before continuing sincerely, “I brought Keely on this visit to honor Jorge and seek closure. I kept it from you to spare you any potential drama concerning Keely. But in doing so, I’ve upset you. I was wrong.”

Loraine listened, taken aback. Marco gripped her hand tighter, saying affectionately, “Loraine, can you find it in your heart to forgive me?”

Her heart fluttered.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
