Florence sighed helplessly and asked in a resigned tone, “Grady, don’t you want to marry anyone other
than Loraine?”
With a firm look, Grady shook his head. “I only want her.”
Florence had no choice but topromise.
“Okay. But I have to observe
Loraine for some time. We can’t just allow her into the family just like that.”
She seemed to regard Loraine as amodity to be bought, without considering Loraine’s own will on
the matter.
In Florence’s eyes, as long as she epted Loraine as her daughter-in-Law, the young woman would
agree without any hesitation.
But Little did she know that her conversation with her son was heard by
Marco and Loraine as they hid behind the stone pirs nearby.
Loraine didn‘t disy any particr reaction, but Marco Looked very angry.
“What makes you think you can choose Loraine like amodity?” he sneered in displeasure.
Marco didn’t try to lower his voice, so the mother and son saw both
Marco and Loraine.
“Why are you here?” Grady asked in shock as he turned to see them.
Seeing how close together Loraine and Marco were standing, he frowned deeply. But Loraine was
quick to move aside to keep some distance between herself and Marco.
Marco had no choice but to let her go.

“Mrs. Cruz, what did you mean by your words?” Loraine demanded.
Thinking of what she had just said, Florence felt a Little embarrassed.
In an attempt to defend herself, she said, “Loraine, don’t me me.
I’m Grady’s mother. When he falls in love with someone, I have to help him the best way I can. You
have many experiences with men while Grady hasn’t. I’m worried about him. I hope you can
understand.”
Loraine sneered inwardly and said aloud, “Don’t waste your time, Mrs.
Cruz. I’ve already suffered enough from marriage, and I have no intention to remarry in the future. You
can exclude me from any ns to choose a wife for your son.”
Loraine’s refusal felt Like a death sentence for Grady. He became sad and looked dejected.
