Obot asked nervously, “Are you okay?”
“I'm fine. | can’t remember what happened last night. If you hadn't disappeared from my phone, then maybe you
could helppiece together what happened.”
Obot was stuck and started making a series of sizzling sounds.
It was just like the failed artificial intelligence from the Johnathan family. Maybe Marco had input something,
causing the screen to show nothing but disordered code.
Thinking of Marco’s confusion on the other end of the line, Loraine felt satisfied. She snorted and got up to wash
her face and brush her teeth.

Carrying her phone, she walked out of the room and saw Aldo sitting in the living room, watching the news.
The television was airing the moment when Loraine and Rowan climbed up the stage to accept the awards.

When Aldo laid eyes on her, he flashed a broad smile and beckoned her to take a seat.
Loraine sat beside him, allowing him to pamper her by rubbing her hair affectionately.
“Lorrie, are you feeling better?”
Loraine scrunched her nose, showing childishness only in front of the elder.
“Grandpa, I'm fine. | just drank a few glasses of wine. I'm not a heavy drinker!”
Recalling how she got so drunk that she made a move on Marco and kissed him, Loraine couldn’t help but cough
with guilt.
Aldo burst into laughter.
“Even if you are over the moon, you should never drink too much. Thankfully, Rowan’s subordinate escorted you
home. Otherwise, you would makefret.”
Loraine apologized. “Grandpa, | won't do that again. | will keep myself out of harm's way.”

Aldo sighed helplessly.
“You've been through danger tand tagain. It really worries me. Rowan is an ambitious man in the
military.
| can’t control him. | don’t want to see my granddaughter in harm’s way.”
Loraine’s recent incidents had made headlines, so she couldn't hide anything from Aldo. She smiled sheepishly,
at a loss for words.
Aldo gave her a meaningful look and added, “Lorrie, you need to take care of yourself. I'm not the only one who's
worried about you!”
He looked past Loraine with a mischievous expression.
What was he hinting at?
