“The Sea Of Light is a family heirloom. It’s a present for your future wife. How on earth can it be given


    to Loraine? Or are you nning to marry her?”

    Loraine could clearly hear the exchange between Grady and Florence.


    She took a few steps back in shock as her eyes suddenly widened. She was so panicked that she


    almost tripped.


    The chance presented itself for Marco to wrap his arm around Loraine’s waist. He turned around and


    ducked behind the stone pir in the hallway. He then lifted his other hand to cover her mouth.


    “Shh!” Marco leaned over and motioned for Loraine to keep quiet. “Don’t let them see us. Let’s wait and


    hear what they have to say.”


    They were so close to each other. Loraine felt ufortable staring at


    Marco’s attractive face and instinctively reached out to push him away.


    However, she was shocked to hear Marco take a deep breath when her hands touched his back.


    Immediately, she stopped what she intended to do.


    She remembered that he hadn’t recovered from his injuries.


    Loraine finally came to a stop when she considered this. All she could do was re at Marco angrily.


    Sensing her concession, Marco smiled. He then squeezed his arms around


    Loraine, holding her firmly.


    Beside the fountain, the confrontation between the mother and son continued.


    Florence could not understand why her son was being so rebellious.


    “Are you crazy, Grady? I invited so manydies here. Why did you choose Loraine of all people?”


    Grady fired back immediately. “Mom, why can’t Loraine be the one? She’s the best. You used to dislike


    her due to her family background, but now she’s the heir of the Torres family and she’s no Longer


    inferior to us.


    Why do you still object?”


    Florence didn’t know what to say.


    Given the fact that the Torres family was a rich and powerful one, a union with it would be beneficial for


    the Cruz family.


    It was evident that Loraine was excellent in both knowledge and ability. She was a good choice for


    Grady’s wife.


    But Loraine was sharp-tongued, and there were many rumors about her with different men. This was


    what made Florence very hesitant.


    Loraine had been married and divorced, and now, she was dealing with all kinds of men. Florence was


    worried that her son would not be able to control a woman like her.
