Goodbye, My Love

“Wait, Loraine! I’m sorry about my mother’s attitude. Please don’t take it to heart. I have no idea why she said that. I hope this won’t affect our friendship.”

Since Loraine had nothing against Grady, she said with a smile, “It’s all good, Grady. This won’t affect our friendship. See you around then.”

Back in the living room, Florence’s face became gloomy after she saw her son run after Loraine in a haste.

Even a blind man could see that Grady had something for Loraine.

Florence felt that she was sitting on a time bomb. She paced about the living room for a while before she summoned the butler. “Go to the warehouse and pick up a small item for Loraine. Although she turned down my offer, we have to pay her back anyway. I don’t want her to take advantage of her help to get close to Grady later on.”

Wrinkles appeared on the butler’s forehead at this time. “I’m afraid that won’t be possible. Someone already bought all the antiques from the warehouse. None of them belongs to the Cruz family anymore.”

“What? Someone bought everything?” Florence’s eyes widened in shock.

“Who did that?”

“Marco Bryant.”

“Marco Bryant? It seems the Bryant family is richer than I imagined.”

Florence suddenly regretted kicking Laura and Marina out. She began to toy with the idea of becoming in-laws with the Bryant family again even though those two behaved badly a while back.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

As Florence pondered on how to mend fences with Laura and Marina after such a dramatic scenario, she couldn’t help but ask the butler for his opinion.

“Why do you think Marco purchased all those antiques at once? Could it be that he was sending a signal that he wants his family and the Cruz family to be united by marriage?”

“I don’t know how to put this.” The butler had something to say, but he didn’t know the best way to put it.

“Come on, spill!” Florence took a sip of coffee from the cup in an attempt to soothe her temper.

“Well, Marco asked that all the antiques be sent to a woman named…”

The butler paused and swallowed hard.

“Loraine Torres.”

Florence spat out a mouthful of coffee at the mention of that name.

“What did you just say? Come again!”

A look of horror appeared on Florence’s face. She went to the door and looked out, only to find that there was no trace of Loraine.

Why did Marco buy an entire collection for Loraine?
