“Eating too much of these snacks will ruin the fun. Besides, how can the two of us finish so much food? We will just buy a variety of these
items and eat them together.”
When Marco heard this suggestion, his eyebrows twitched slightly.
Though he didn’t show it on his face, his heart felt warm, and he immediately followed Loraine’s suggestion by taking a bite of his ice cream
cone and then handing it to her.
“That's a good idea. Hmm, try this. It's very sweet.”
Loraine hesitated for a moment. She felt like she had dug a pit for herself with her own words.
But when she saw Marco's sincere gaze, she couldn't refuse. After a brief pause, she took a bite off the ice cream.

The strawberry cream stuck to the corner of her mouth, causing Marco’s gaze to darken slightly. But he knew he
had already gained enough advantages for the day, so he didn’t dare to be presumptuous. He simply handed her
a tissue to clean her mouth.
After strolling around for a moment while eating what they bought, they becquite full. Fortunately, they had
finished all the food they had purchased, and they were now approaching the end of the street.
Marco looked relaxed, as if he had completely forgotten all his previous troubles. He looked at Loraine with a
bright gleam in his eyes. “Lettake you home,” he offered.
Loraine had to swallow the teasing remark “You don’t even have a car” that had been on the tip of her tongue
and nodded in agreement.
Once again, they hailed a taxi on the roadside. As they got in, they clasped their hands together and never let go
until they reached their destination.
Loraine didn’t return to the Torres family house but to her own apartment.
She hesitated for a while as she stood at the front door. It didn’t seem appropriate to invite Marco upstairs at
such a late hour. But with all he had gone through, she didn’t feel comfortable letting him go alone either.
She knew he wouldn't go back to the Bryant family villa now, but she didn’t know if his apartment was under his
possession or if it had been taken from him. Frankly, she had no idea where he could go.
She raised her head and said, “Marco...”
Coincidentally, Marco was also about to say something. They both spoke simultaneously and their eyes met,
making them smile at each other.

But Loraine didn’t feel shy. Instead, she asked him immediately, “What are your plans now? Do you heed my
help with anything?”
Marco's heart felt warm when he heard this, and he shook his head with a smile.
“Don’t worry about me,” he assured her. | turned Bryant Group from a small company on the verge of bankruptcy into a large corporation. |
can start over and achieve similar results.”
At that moment, he seemed to be the proud and decisive prodigy of the business world again.
“Loraine, I'll handle this matter myself. As long as you are with me, that's enough,” he added with a much softer expression.
Just like tonight, if Loraine hadn't appeared, though Marco could have dealt with the Bryant family, he would have been in a sorry state.
Loraine sighed inwardly. She had never doubted Marco's abilities. It seemed he had already decided exactly on how he was going to proceed.
