Goodbye, My Love

But these ordinary folks sold cheap items for a few dollars or tens of dollars, yet their hearts were filled with the simplest and most sincere goodwill.

Marco gently held Loraine, afraid that she wouldn’t be able to withstand the enthusiasm of the crowd. Then he leaned closer to her and said in her ear, “During the fair, the winning bidders didn’t express their gratitude as genuinely as these people.”

Loraine raised an eyebrow in surprise. How could he even think of comparing both cases? Except for her best friend, Jennie, who had helped her out, the other participants were only motivated by their selfish goals. No matter what they gained, they wouldn’t feel grateful.

Just then, the young girl who had sold them crepes earlier approached them, Laughing sweetly. “I knew you two were the perfect couple! Thank you both. From now on, when you both come to buy crepes from my stall, you’ll get one free!”

Loraine was taken aback by this. But just as she was about to politely decline the kind offer, the other vendors started cheering.

“So, you’re a couple. You came here on a date!”

“Mr. Bryant, Miss Torres, come and taste the ice cream from my shop.

You dealt with those people for us, so you’ll get one for every one you buy in the future!” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

The vendors began to vie for their attention, each one begging them to come taste their products. They were so many that Loraine didn’t really

Know how to respond.

Marco, on the other hand, had a smile on his face. Holding Loraine in his arms, he announced cheerfully, “Thank you all for your praise and invitations. I will cover all the purchases from every stall here tonight. So, just sell out and go home early.”

This statement shocked everyone.

Even Loraine looked at him in surprise. Had he forgotten that he was no longer the CEO of Bryant Group? How could he spend money so lavishly?

And moreover, how would he get the money to afford this?

With Me Is All I Need

To preserve Marco’s self-esteem, Loraine didn’t address the situation directly. Instead, she explained to the vendors, “Come on, he’s just joking. Don’t take it too seriously.”

Hearing this, the vendors laughed it off, insisting on offering Loraine and Marco free samples.

Loraine thanked everyone, but insisted on paying for all the food they would receive and taking only one portion.

The vendors couldn’t persuade her to do otherwise, so they reluctantly accepted the money. In return, they gave her a larger portion than usual.

Marco looked slightly stunned when he received various kinds of food.

He glanced at Loraine with a trace of grievance in his expression, as if her intervention was a form of bullying.

“I wasn’t joking. I wanted to buy everything in order to help them,” he informed her.

By now, Loraine’s hands were already full, so she quickly thanked the vendors and pulled Marco away from the crowd. She heard what he told her and had to come up with a smart excuse.
