She appeared to touch upon the spiritual echoes left by her father within the shattered timepiece. This


    aroused a keen interest in Loraine to view more of Endy’s creations. Perhaps they could unearth some


    traces of her father.


    Then she was momentarily lost in her thoughts. The celebration party swiftly drew to a close.


    As Loraine ambled towards the car park, ready to summon her driver, a sleek ck automobile halted


    beside her. The window descended, unveiling Marco’s charming visage. He offered, “Loraine, allow me


    to take you home.”


    Then, Cayson arrived in his car.


    “Lorrie, your grandpa entrusted me to bring you home.”


    Grady also lowered his window and chimed in, “Let’s ride together. I’ve plenty to share about the Cruz


    family’s exhibit!”


    Ang’s Library


    A slight twitch yed at the corner of Loraine’s lips. She found herself at a loss for words.


    Just then, another car pulled up behind them, honking its horn.


    “Lorrie!” Jennie leaned out. As soon as she finished her greeting, she noticed the trio vying for


    Loraine’spany. She stifled a Laugh, then pulled back. She suggested, “Well… How about I leave


    now?”


    Without missing a beat, Loraine opened the door of Jennie’s car and hopped in.


    “Get moving! Quick!”


    As Jennie cast a nce at the crestfallen men in the other cars, a wicked smile crept onto her face.


    She revved up the engine and sped away.


    Inside the car, Jennie stole a sidelong look at her friend and teased,


    “Lorrie, out of the three men back there, Marco’s the assertive CEO,


    Cayson’s the dutiful knight, and Grady’s the tender youth. Who’s your pick?”


    Loraine pressed a hand to her forehead and replied, “Do you think I’m selecting a suitor? I… I reject


    them all!”


    Cayson was like a sibling to her, having grown up together. Grady was her junior and she considered


    him just a friend. But Marco…


    Loraine was taken aback.


    What did Marco represent in her life now?


    She blinked in surprise, her heart racing, her mind in disarray.


    After all that transpired, she couldn’t deceive herself any Longer. She acknowledged that she had a


    connection with Marco.

    But she was at a loss to identify what Marco stood for in her life. Her former spouse? A partner? An


    intrusive presence? Or perhaps, something more…


    After Loraine left in Jennie’s car, the three men continued to confront each other.
