Marco and married him, until the end when | gave up, divorced, and decided to leave, three years have come
and gone. How many three years do | have?”
Her voice was barely above a whisper.
“I acknowledge that Marco and | have evolved significantly after we divorced. But, the memory of his past
indifference still instills a sense of dread in me, and Keely acts as a thorn in my heart, prickingwith
reminders of our past. So I'm not sure if Marco’s actions stem from genuine love or a feeling of loss because |
initiated the divorce.”
With a perplexed gaze, Loraine added, “Or could it be that his longstanding guilt has him clinging onto me? Is he
now trying to make amends?”

Keely was merely a catalyst. Today, Marco's lie had struck a critical blow to their fragile relationship, exposing
long-standing issues.
Unconsciously, Loraine had said quite a lot. Upon finishing, she chuckled at herself.
“Our relationship is riddled with too many misunderstandings and contradictions, lacking the basic pillar of trust.
Can we really continue in this way?”
Loraine had shared several episodes of her history with Marco with the girl. She had left out several details, but
the girl listened attentively, posing only a single question in response.
“So, do you still hold feelings for him?”

Did she still Like Marco?

Loraine was stunned. Marco had asked her this question several times before, and she had always denied it.
Yet, she hadn’t managed to figure out the answer to the question at all.
At one point in time, Loraine made a firm resolution that she would no longer allow herself to love Marco, believe
in love, or develop any affection for anyone after her divorce.
After a while, however, her resolve wavered in the face of his pursuit, and her heart gradually began to soften
towards him.

Up until now, she had been contemplating how to reconcile with Marco and convince her family to accept him.
Now that his lies had been exposed, however, her previous indecisiveness seemed foolish, mocking her
innocence and naivety.
Loraine was speechless. Upon realizing that the little girl was patiently waiting for an answer, she instinctively
replied “No.”
However, when she said the word, she felt the lack of conviction in her voice as it cout weakly.
Even if she could fool others, she couldn't fool herself. If she truly didn’t like Marco, why had she repeatedly
cooperated with him and endured the complications that cwith it? So far, things had spiraled out of control.
The little girl let out a sigh, almost as though she could see through
Loraine’s charade. She then remarked solemnly, “It looks like you haven't let go of him yet.”
Loraine immediately felt a pang of sadness. She hadn't expected that she'd be unable to deceive a young girl
she barely knew. Was it so obvious that she still Liked Marco?
