When he raised his eyes, he saw Marco Looming over him.
“Marco?” ™
Marco leaned in closer, a formidable aura radiating off him, his low voice carrying an unspoken threat.
“Grady, bear in mind what you've said. You wish to be Loraine’s friend, and that’s all you should aspire to be. No
ulterior motives.”
Grady remained silent, keeping his head lowered. Just as Marco began to think that Grady might surrender,
Grady abruptly raised his gaze and locked eyes with him.

“Marco, you're Loraine’s ex-husband. You two are divorced.”
Marco's countenance darkened.
Indeed, it appeared the young man had finally decided to show his true colors.
Summing up all his courage, Grady forced himself not to be timid and met Marco's gaze head-on.
Marco held Grady’s gaze for a moment before breaking into a smile, leaning in to whisper something into his ear.
“I won't always be her ex-husband,” he murmured firmly. “I'm determined to win Loraine back, sooner or Later.”
Grady was taken aback by his words.
Meanwhile, Marco had already moved on, striding towards the stage to greet Loraine, who had just concluded
her speech.

Gritting his teeth, Grady rose and followed Marco.
Despite his deep respect for Marco, he was resolved not to back down when it cto Loraine.
Loraine was the only woman he had ever loved. If she were still married to Marco, Grady would have kept his
feelings and blessings to himself.
But now that they were divorced, Grady believed he had the right to fight for his Love.

The fear of Living with regret if he didn’t at least try was driving him forward.
Marco stopped Loraine, and as she turned to talk to him, her profile illuminated by the Light was stunningly
beautiful.
Grady'’s heart raced as he took several deep breaths to calm himself.
Finally, he mustered the courage to step forward.
“Loraine, I'd like to extend an invitation for you to attend the banquet hosted by the Cruz family.”
Seeing Loraine’s furrowed brow, Grady hastily added, “I understand you're busy, but this isn’t just a party, it's an
exhibition co-hosted by the Cruz family and other antique aficionados. It will showcase numerous renowned
works. | think it would be beneficial for you to attend, particularly considering your recent work on the new
commercial district!”
