Marco didn’t stop her.
As Loraine walked to the door, she looked back at him. Marco had his head lowered, and the shadow obscured
his expression.
Her heart ached.
Even after she got back to her car, she couldn't stop thinking about
Marco's Lonely and sorrowful figure.

What was going on with him? What had happened?
He abruptly inquired about her parents. Could it have been related to his family?
After much hesitation, Loraine decided to ask Obot. She took out her phone, opened the chat interface with Obot
and typed, “Obot, do you know what happened to Marco today?”
She figured if Marco could use Obot to inquire about her, she could do the same.
Marco sat motionless in the coffee shop, his posture resembling that of a statue.
The setting sun cast a warm beam of Light on his back.
Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated.
It was Loraine calling Obot, as evidenced by the special ringtone.
Marco's eyes shifted towards the phone.
He retrieved his phone and noticed that Loraine sent a message to Obot.
Angela’s Library
Upon seeing Loraine’s message, Marco's heart felt a warm glow, and he seemed to calive a bit.

He was glad that Loraine still cared for him, as he felt alone in the world with no one to care for him.
However, Marco did not want to tell Loraine that he was an illegitimate child.
He was still grappling with this fact and could not bring himself to speak about it.
Marco didn’t want Loraine to know about his difficult background, nor did he want her to see his vulnerable side.
After a prolonged pause, he replied as Obot, “Nothing. It's just that something happened in the company and he
felt upset.”
Loraine’s frown was apparent upon receiving Obot’s message.
Did Marco believe that this excuse would deceive her?
