“I'm to blfor not dismissing Keely. But | promise you, there is no affection for Keely. Apart from you, there
has never been another woman in my heart.”
Loraine was taken aback by Marco's sudden declaration of love.
She found herself recalling Jimmie’s words from before.
Out of all the potential candidates for marriage, Marco chose her instantly with just one look.
Had her affection for him been reciprocated all along? Did she hold a special and unique place in Marco’s heart
as well?
But with Keely in the picture, Loraine was uncertain whether to trust his words.

In a whirlwind of emotions, she felt a pressure in her chest that made it hard to breathe. She found herself
interrupting Marco, “Enough! No more words!”
Witnessing the heated exchange, the girl beside them retreated to her bed, not daring to make a peep.

Marco immediately fell silent, complying with Loraine’s request while maintaining a deep gaze at her.
As Loraine turned her head, she felt her heart flutter upon encountering such a stare.
“Loraine, if my presence irritates you, | can stay silent. If I'ma bother, | can remain hidden. Your wish is my
command. Just don’t pushaway, don’t dismiss me.”
Marco was now a humble figure in front of her, unlike the authoritative
CEO of the Bryant Group he used to be. If he had a tail, he would have been Like a well-groomed pet dog lying
beside Loraine, ready to endure the force of her fury.
Loraine had no doubt that if she demanded him to kneel, he would do so without a second thought.
How was he doing this? Each of his actions would almost push her to the edge. Yet, the moment he revealed his
vulnerability, she would lose all her steam.
Loraine sighed inwardly. She genuinely didn’t know how to deal with
Marco.

When she showed him her mean side, he clung onto her Like a stubborn adhesive; when she showed
indifference, he would give her such a pitiful look that she would be the first to cave.
Before she could decide on a strategy, an unexpected sound echoed.

Marco was taken aback. His gaze then drifted to Loraine’s stomach.
Of course, Loraine noticed where Marco's attention had landed. Her cheeks flushed instantly as she snapped,
“What are you looking at? I've had a fever and been on an infusion for a while. Isn’t it normal forto be
hungry?”
Marco stood there, dumbstruck. After a moment, he responded, “Of course, it's normal.”
