A frown formed on Marco's face as he tightly grasped her hand, his determination evident. “No,” he asserted
stubbornly, “it’s too dangerous. | can’t allow you to leave my sight!”
Aware of the reporters’ willingness to do anything for money, Marco couldn't find peace of mind when he
imagined Loraine facing them alone.
How could he trust that she would be safe in such a situation?
The reporters closed in, leaving Loraine with no choice but to abandon the argument. She sat in the passenger
seat, buckled her seat belt, and urged Marco, “Drive quickly!”
She was determined not to be caught by the reporters.

Without further discussion, Marco nodded and stepped on the gas, swiftly maneuvering out of the parking lot.
The reporters surrounded them like bothersflies, attempting to stop their getaway.
Calmly, Marco accelerated methodically, breaking through the crowd and intimidating the reporters into
retreating.
After two red lights, they finally managed to elude the persistent reporters.

Relieved after confirming they were no longer being followed, Loraine exhaled deeply.
“They can’t catch up now. Park the car on the side, and
I'll get out.”
However, Marco clutched the steering wheel tightly, ignoring her request, and continued driving.
Baffled, Loraine glanced at him suspiciously and repeated her request,
“Marco, stop the car. | want to get off!”
Marco turned his head, gazed at her without uttering a word, and accelerated.
Shortly after, the car cto a halt in front of Loraine’s upscale apartment where she resided alone.

Loraine fell silent for a moment, shook her head helplessly, and opened the car door.
“Wait a minute.” Marco suddenly stopped her. As Loraine turned around, he didn’t continue speaking and only
stared at her intently without blinking.
He simply didn’t want to part ways with Loraine. However, he couldn't find a reason to hold her back.
Loraine sighed, dangling one foot outside the car. She asked, “What do you want to say? If you don’t want to
talk, I'll leave.”
Marco hesitated, his lips trembling before he said, “Loraine, don’t worry. I'll handle the public opinion this time.”
This time, Loraine didn’t refuse.
