Goodbye, My Love

Love, paired with selfless sacrifices, yielded a joy greater than mere taking.

Now that she was aware of Marco’s struggles, how could she let him fight alone?

Marco nestled his head in the crook of Loraine’s shoulder and had a sudden realization. This was their first peaceful moment together since they got married.

Without any ulterior motives, they found solace in each other’s company, forming a pillar of support, just like a real couple. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Past memories intermingled with the present, and he found himself reflecting on their three years of marriage, apologizing with regret

“Now I finally comprehend the torment they put you through. I’m sorry,

I was negligent and left you alone to face the Bryant family. I’m deeply sorry.”

His voice faded to a whisper.

“If only I had grasped your predicament sooner and offered more comfort and care, our marriage wouldn’t have…”

Interrupting him, Loraine said, “Marco, let’s not dwell on this. The

Bryant family is separate from you. What’s done is done.”

Marco shook his head, now understanding the ridicule he faced from the

Torres family and Cayson previously.

Even though those incidents were in the past, they hadn’t vanished, and he couldn’t simply brush them aside.

“I acknowledge that my actions caused you pain, all for the sake of my family and others, Loraine. I may try to justify my actions, but it’s undeniable that the Bryant family raised me. Often, in appreciation for their care, I felt obligated to defend them.”

Loraine grew quiet, remembering the incident where Marco had assured her he would help confront Marina’s false allegations, only to later request her to withdraw the complaint.

Did his obligations to his family mean she had to keep making sacrifices?

Breaking free from Marco’s embrace, Loraine pursed her Lips

Sensing her shift in mood, Marco felt a pang of anxiety and inquired

“What’s wrong?”

“Marco, are you planning to forever be at the mercy of the Bryant family? Yes, they’ve harmed me before, but now they’re not even sparing you. Why continue to show them mercy?”

Marco grasped her meaning, shook his head, and took her hand, with a self-deprecating smirk.

“Don’t worry, I won’t… That time, I stood by my words. That was the Last time. Now, I’ve done all that I could for the Bryant family. From this point forward, I’ll handle matters professionally and stand by my convictions. I won’t let anyone have the chance to bully you again!”
