This time, Loraine didn’t object.


    Marco held his hand outstretched until the three of them had departed.


    His hazel eyes, deep and icy, radiated a chill. Without uttering a word, he made his way to the resting


    area. Sensing his mood, everyone wisely chose not to interrupt his solitude.


    Jimmie approached Marco, giving him a consoling pat on the shoulder. He breathed out a sigh of


    solidarity and muttered, “Bro, I did all I could.”


    s, in the process, he had even fueled Jennie’s anger.


    Marco shot him a nce and responded icily, “You seem rather pleased with your womanizing. Hard to


    believe you im you’ve done your best.”


    Jimmie, taken aback, gazed at Marco with eyes filled with disapproval.


    “Wasn’t I just trying to be friendly, to extract information for you?


    Now, Jennie dislikes me even more…”


    With a thin smile, Marco remained silent. This self-proimeddies’ man boasted of his numerous


    conquests. Yet, it seemed his prowess in winning a woman’s heart was mediocre at best.


    But still, Jimmie was a well of experience Marco could learn from. His tutorial on conversational skills


    with women came from Jimmie.


    This time, Marco wore his heart on his sleeve and confessed his emotions. The memory of Loraine’s


    reaction still stung, though, causing an ache in his heart.


    After a moment of contemtion, he asked his buddy, “Is there any other way to win over Loraine’s


    family, other than ttering Jennie?”

    If the Torres family gave him a chance, he might be able to soften


    Loraine’s defenses.


    On the other end, Cayson escorted Jennie home before taking Loraine back to her ce.


    His journey ended at the Torres residence.


    Loraine expressed her gratitude before Cayson asked, “Lorrie, aren’t you going to invite me in?”


    “I think it’s best if youe over next time. I need some rest now,”


    Loraine declined.


    Cayson, realizing her mood was off, didn’t push further. He silently watched as she walked into the


    Torres family vi.


    An assortment of thoughts filled Loraine’s mind tonight. She experienced a blend of emotions and let


    out a gentle sigh.


    The sight that greeted her when she opened the door left her momentarily speechless. It all rushed


    back to her, draining the color from her face.
