Goodbye, My Love

“Alright, I was just joking. Don’t be reckless. The bed is tiny, so any more tossing and turning might land you on the floor,” he whispered,

“Given the tight space, it’s not conducive to any further activity.”

As Marco’s words resonated in her ears, her cheeks flushed crimson.

However, she was hit with the reality of their cramped situation. She ceased her restlessness and snuggled closer to Marco, finally deciding to sleep in his comforting arms.

Yet, with the rhythm of his heartbeat echoing in her ears, she couldn’t help but groan inwardly. How was she supposed to fall asleep under such circumstances?

Sensing her unease, Marco gently patted her back. “We have a challenging day ahead of us tomorrow. Try to sleep,” he urged tenderly.

His words floated softly, aiming to alleviate her uneasiness. “Once you’re asleep, there’s nothing left to fret over.”

The gentle rhythmic patting seemed to have a soothing effect on

Loraine, and against all odds, she found herself growing sleepy.

She had assumed that sharing a bed with Marco would keep her anxious and awake all night. But surprisingly, once she Let her guard down, she fell into a deep slumber within his comforting hold, sleeping more soundly than she ever had.

The next morning, Loraine woke up rejuvenated from a good night’s rest.

Lazily stretching her arms, she inadvertently brushed against something firm and solid.

Her heart leaped as she looked up to find Marco’s eyes sparkling with amusement .

“Awake? Let’s get started, then.”

Remembering the previous night, Loraine quickly scrambled out of the bed.

They both hastily prepared for the day, mindful of the tasks at hand and not wanting to squander any time. Leaving the room, they set out to find Eloise.

By a stroke of coincidence, they met Eloise emerging from her room, clad in formal attire, suggesting she too had plans.

Loraine asked anxiously, “Mrs. Harvey, where are you headed? Is there an event?”

Eloise responded with a smile, “The village chief informed me that the

Cooper family will host this year’s harvest festival banquet. The entire village is invited, and my absence might cause issues for the orphanage.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Loraine did not expect to find that Eloise had already gotten invited.

A shadow crossed Loraine’s face, yet she chose not to burden Eloise with her concerns. She opted not to reveal what she had heard the previous day, aware that even if she raised objections, Eloise would likely still attend the banquet for the orphanage’s sake.
