    Unmistakable romance hung between them.


    Klein grinned, sharing a knowing wink with Brady and Hubert. Brady’s expression said it all as they


    shared a smile and watched the scene unfold.


    But Hubert was in no mood for spectating. Recalling Rowan’s instructions, he steeled himself to break


    the spell that enveloped


    Marco and Loraine.


    Clearing his throat, Hubert announced, “Ahem! Mr. Bryant, ourmander wishes to express his


    gratitude. An award will be sent to the Bryant family. Please ept it.”


    Marco’s face clouded over. Clenching his teeth, he muttered, “Please thank him for me.”


    Loraine coughed, saying nothing more.


    Soon, they arrived at thevish restaurant Brady had reserved.


    Opulently adorned and providing impable service, the establishment offered the utmost privacy.


    Upon entering the secluded room, Hubert pulled out a chair for Loraine.


    After a moment’s consideration, she chose to sit beside Marco.

    Hubert, unable to prevent her decision, could only stare in disbelief and dismay. “Miss…”


    To mask her embarrassment, Loraine touched her nose, exining,


    “Marco’s arm hasn’t fully healed. Sitting here makes it easier for me to help him.”


    “I can assist him. Please, sit here,” Hubert offered hastily.


    Marco shot him a dangerous re.


    Observing the situation, Klein intervened, holding Hubert back andughing, “Women tend to be more


    attentive than men, don’t you agree?


    Besides, Loraine knows Marco well since they used to be a couple. Let them be.”


    Hubert’s face flushed crimson as he awaited Loraine’s response.


    Marco watched her nervously.


    “It’s fine. I’ll help Marco.” Loraine shook her head at Hubert, remaining in her seat.


    Relieved, Marco couldn’t help but smile.
