Goodbye, My Love

Chapter 1261

Both of them were acutely aware that Keely didn’t harbor feelings for

Jorge, rather, her affections leaned toward Marco.

But Jorge had feelings for Keely and was her protector, so Marco had kept his distance, never confronting the

situation.

In his usual aloof manner, Marco said, “Jorge was always there for you.

Even during your family’s trials, he never considered breaking off the engagement. Isn't that enough?”

Keely’s smile was tinged with sorrow.

“Yes, Jorge was good to me, but what made it better was the chance to be closer to you, to be part of your world.

But the barrier of her relationship with Jorge meant Marco could never truly bridge the gap between them.

Keely always felt that what kept her and Marco apart was a single chance, and that he did reciprocate her

feelings

A sense of relief crept over Keely when Jorge fell into misfortune.

Marco, maintaining his impassive demeanor, retorted, “Yet you were

Jorge's fiancée. He remembered you till his final breath.”

Laughing, Keely admitted, “Indeed, Jorge died protecting you and leftin your care. | assumed it was destiny’s

gift, a chance for us to be together. But instead, you cared formore, yet kept a greater distance, never

Before Marco could respond, Keely burst out in bitter resentment. “Even when you didn’t givea chance, | was

the only woman who stood by you. | believed I could wait for you to accept me, but then you rushed off to marry

that despicable Loraine! She was just a peasant girl, how could she compare up to me? Marco, why did you

choose her?”

Marco's brow furrowed more deeply as he retorted frostily, “Enough,

Keely!”

She was Lunatic and showed no respect to Jorge, who was now watching from above. Marco felt sorry for Jorge.

Keely gritted her teeth, bitterness infusing her words. “No, it's not enough! Why does Loraine matter so much to

Caught in her fervor, the knife pressed against her neck dug a little deeper, staining her pale skin with another

streak of blood. Marco's intense gaze focused on the knife, his voice echoing deep within the room.

“Keely, what are you planning?”

Lifting her chin defiantly, a wild resolve gleaming in her eyes, Keely challenged, “You wouldn't wantdead,

would you, Marco? If you don’t wish to betray Jorge's dying wish and turn Loraine into a murderer, scorned by all,

then marry me!”

Before she could finish her sentence, a cold and clear voice interrupted from outside the room.

“In your dreams! Marry Marco? Don’t even think about it!”
