He picked up the ss and started frantically downing whiskey, one full pour after another.


    Soon, he emptied the entire bottle.


    Rowan didn’t stop him; he just watched calmly as Marco drank, an unreadable expression on his face.


    Without any feedback from Rowan, Marco kept drinking.


    Due to his unchangingplexion, any onlookers might have assumed he was drinking only water.


    Even Rowan, who relished in making things difficult for Marco, was unable to hide his awe.


    “What a deep drinker!” he said, impressed.


    Loraine tolerated the scene and sat patiently until Marco started on his fourth bottle.


    “This is boring, and I’m tired,” she announced.

    “Tired? Well, that’s enough for today, then. Let’s go.” Rowan shrugged his shoulders.


    Walking through the door, Loraine suddenly felt someone grab her arm.


    “Where are you going? I’ll drive you.” Marco raised his head and looked into Loraine’s eyes.


    “Mr. Bryant, you are intoxicated. Why even offer? Mr. Torres will see me home.” Loraine raised her


    hand, trying to free her arm from Marco’s grasp.


    Instead of letting her go, however, Marco tightened his grip. “No, don’t go with him. I don’t trust him. I’ll


    see you off myself.”


    “You brat! Who are you talking about? Let her go!” Rowan’s face darkened with rage.


    “No way!” Marco met Rowan’s furious gaze, unflinching. “No one can hurt her as Long as I am around.”


    At this, Rowan burst into Laughter.


    If it weren’t for Loraine, he would have given this ridiculous, self-righteous man a good kick.


    Loraine shook her head, silently warning him not to react.


    She raised her head and looked at the man who imed he was trying to protect her.


    Ridiculous, indeed!


    Marco had ignored and tortured her for three years. Now, all of a sudden, he changed his mind about


    wanting to take care of her just as she had given up on him.
