Could he... Could he have cfor her?
Her heart fluttered at the thought.
With a tender gaze, Marco responded without hesitation, “I was waiting for you.”
As her heart pounded, Loraine asked, her voice rough, “Why were you waiting for me?”

Afraid to stir her anger, Marco scrambled for a justification. “The

Cruz family harbored resentment towards you, remember? | was worried about you being alone and falling into
trouble. Hence, | decided to wait for you here.”
Marco averted his gaze as he spoke.
He couldn’t bring himself to confess to Loraine that his focus had been scattered all day, consumed by thoughts
of her during his working hours.
The notion of Loraine visiting the Cruz's residence with Grady rattled him.
What if Grady seized the opportunity to ensnare Loraine and propose to her once more?
Could it be possible that the smooth-talking Grady might actually win
Loraine over?
His concern extended beyond Grady to Florence. He was apprehensive about Florence making life difficult for
Loraine like the previous instance.
The more these thoughts spun in Marco’s mind, the more he found himself unable to resist the urge to leave his
office early and drive straight to the vicinity of the Cruz family’s house.
Right now, he felt a wave of relief wash over him for having made that decision.
If he hadn’t shown up, Loraine could've fallen prey to those rascals.

As thoughts of those rascals who had escaped ran through his mind,
Marco's anger flared, his face turning dark with intensity.
If Loraine hadn't been there, he would've pursued and dealt with them.
Even though they fled, Marco wasn’t planning on letting them off the hook.
Marco cast a glance at Loraine, his voice husky, “Loraine, rest assured. | won't let those culprits escape. | will
track them down and make things right for you.”
Reflecting on the incident, Loraine could still feel the fear creeping in.
She was fortunate that Marco was there.
