Goodbye, My Love

Mulling over her thoughts, Loraine reached out and gently grasped

Eloise’s hand, pleading, “Could we accompany you to the banquet?”

Eloise hesitated. Given the repeated issues caused by the Cooper family, she was naturally skeptical about their banquet invitation.

Concerned for Loraine, she disagreed, “It’s better if you both stay.”

Loraine countered, “Marco hasn’t attended a countryside banquet before.

I’d Like him to experience it. What do you think?”

On hearing this, Eloise looked at Marco, recalling his display of strength the previous day, and felt reassured.

She had overlooked the fact that Loraine was at an age where romantic relationships were part of life. With Marco’s presence, she felt

Loraine would be protected from any potential harm.

“Very well, we shall all attend.”

Loraine’s face lit up in joy, and she assisted Eloise in walking. She glanced back at Marco, making a playful hand gesture for him to follow them.

Marco, observing Loraine’s playful interaction with Eloise, couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy.

He found himself yearning for the day when Loraine would exhibit the same playful and affectionate behavior towards him, as she did with

Eloise. Her playful side was genuinely endearing.

Over a dozen tables were set up in the open space, and the entire village joyfully attended, savoring dishes they rarely had the opportunity to taste.

In contrast to the simple attire of the villagers, Judie’s clothing exuded extravagance, making her stand out among the crowd. She was surrounded by a group of young individuals, all eager to flatter her and gain her favor.

“Judie, our village is truly blessed to have you. In my opinion, these country bumpkins should willingly offer all their resources to support your efforts in leading them to a better life!” one of her followers praised, trying to impress her.

Judie smiled contentedly, yet her eyes remained fixed on the entrance as she anxiously clutched her cup.

“Why hasn’t the old Lady from the orphanage arrived yet?”

Just as she finished speaking, Eloise’s figure emerged at the entrance, leaning on a cane for support. Judie’s eyes lit up, and she promptly placed her wine glass down, hurrying over to her.

With a fake smile, she warmly held Eloise’s hand and said, “Hello, Mrs.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
