Rowan blinked a couple of times, then he answered, “It’s nothing serious. It’s just that after I fully


    recovered, I received another urgent task. It might be a bit difficult. I can’t tell when I’ll return…”


    “Urgent task? It’s very dangerous, isn’t it?” Loraine’s heart rate sped up immediately.


    Rowan calmed her down. “No, it’s not. You believe in my strength, don’t you? I just didn’t want to leave


    without seeing you first, so I came here.”

    It took a while before Rowan was able to calm Loraine down.


    Once Rowan walked out of the apartment, he looked up and saw Marco standing not too far away. His


    face went dark.

    What was he still doing here?


    Marco breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Rowan leave Loraine’s apartment.


    Rowan instantly regretted it. It seemed he hade out too early


    Rowan was a man himself, so how could he not tell what Marco was thinking?


    The news had been full of gossip about the possibility of Marco and


    Loraine getting back together in the past few days


    The media would not have dared to make such reports without Marco’s consent.


    Adding to that, Marco’s attitude toward Loraine had drastically changed.


    Apart from Loraine, who wouldn’t be able to tell what Marco’s intentions were?


    Whatever it was, Rowan would not allow his sweet niece to be hurt ever again.


    Marco had to be gotten rid of as quickly as possible.


    With all this on his mind, Rowan saw Marco approaching him.


    Both men stood face to face. One was a ruthless military officer, the other was a powerful


    businessman. Their domineering auras were on the same level.


    Marco eyed him and dered, “I won’t give up, no matter what the rtionship between you and


    Loraine is. Other people probably fear you, but I do not.”


    Rowan’s eyes narrowed.


    However, Marco brushed past him and walked straight to his car.


    Even though Rowan didn’t Like him, he had to admit Marco was brave.


    Loraine was oblivious to the standoff that had happened outside. She headed back to her study to


    handlepany affairs after sending Rowan away.
