If his target was not Cormac…
Loredana suddenly realized everything. Marina stated Cormac’s identity before leaving and, at the same time, reminded Loredana of her situation. Marina also asked about her relationship with Victoria. Could it be that Jeffery knew the relationship between her and Victoria? Was this dinner a set-up for her?
She was almost certain of her guess at the moment. Marina suddenly left, probably because she regretted it or she couldn’t find it in her heart to do this to them.
Loredana’ looked flustered because she didn’t know how much Jeffery knew.
She was not sure if Marina’s arrival was just a ruse to distract her on purpose, and in fact, Jeffery had already known Cormac’s identity.
Her heart was filled with more and more guesses, but no one could answer any of them.
She tightened her arms, “I don’t want to go, and I don’t want you to go. Can we go home?”
Her voice trembled unconsciously, and she spoke with a little hoarse voice.
Cormac didn’t hesitate at all, “Okay.”
His straightforwardness, his least hesitation, and his resolution made Loredana’ heart, which was agitated, calm down slowly. A wave of warmth emanated from the depths of her heart. She could feel his feelings and his care for her at the moment.
She held his face and said this sentence without thinking much, “Do you really like me? Do you like me, not because I’m Simona’s and Samuel’s mother, but like me just for who I am? Do you still want to be with me even if without the two kids?”
A mist covered her eyes.
She had lived for over 20 years, and this was the first time she asked a man if he liked her.
She was nervous, but at the same time, she was more looking forward to his response.
She clearly knew that she liked Cormac.
So, she wanted to know his feelings for her.
She had previously read a sentence from a book. The more a person cares, the more he fears to lose.
Had she already cared about him so much that she was afraid of losing him?
He didn’t respond. Was it because he didn’t like her just for who she was?
Suddenly, she became flustered and explained absentmindedly, “I…I’m just asking randomly…”
“I don’t know,” Cormac interrupted her at this time.
His thick eyelashes were hanging, and formed the shadows on his eyelids. His voice was light but clear. He was so earnest, “I’m not sure what feelings I have for you. But all I know is that I want you to stay by my side. I’ll miss you if I don’t see you for a long time. Sometimes I think that maybe you’re poisonous that you’ve taken my breath away. I’m not sure if this feeling is considered as liking. If this is not, it doesn’t matter. I won’t give you any chance to leave me. You are mine forever, whether you are alive or dead.”
He was as domineering as he had always been.
He was so unique even when expressing his feelings.
Loredana couldn’t calm her heart. Her heart was dancing with joy and trembling at the same time. She was excited because of everything unpredictable but real to her. She could barely control herself. “Have you already become stupid?” Cormac pinched Loredana’ nose and held her in his arms, “I’ll take you to eat whatever you want. It’s just the two of us.”
Loredana shook her head, “Uncle invited us to dinner, didn’t he? How could we not go?”
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
She wanted to see what Jeffery intended to do.
Cormac raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Are all of the women so fickle?”
Loredana pretended to be serious. She tilted her head and nodded seriously, “I think so. So, you have to treat me well. Maybe I might change my heart one day…”
Cormac came to a halt. Loredana raised her head. Why didn’t Cormac continue walking?
“Are you angry?”
Cormac squinted at her. He was not angry, but… he was threatening her!
“If you dare to change your heart, I’ll break your leg.” He pretended to be fierce.
Loredana smiled as she relaxed her frown. She held his arms tightly.
They walked out of the store. Cormac’s car was parked at the side of the road. They made their way over to the car. After they got into the car, Cormac leaned over his body to help her in fastening the seat belt.
Loredana straightened her back, “Aunty came here to the store today.”
The seat belt was buckled with a click. Cormac raised his head to meet her gaze.
Loredana looked at him, “She also came here to invite me to dinner, but then she said that she had something to busy with and left in a hurry. I’m not sure if this is the same dinner appointment as uncle’s.” Cormac narrowed his eyes slightly, and there were turbulences at the bottom of his eyes.
He had a feeling that something was not right since Jeffery had asked him to go to the hotel to get the document the last time.
“She even specially told me…”
Loredana took a deliberate pause.
“Mm?”
Loredana Flores didn’t make Marina’s intention clear, but deliberately said, “She said you are privileged while I’m nothing, as if she was telling me that I don’t match you. After all, I don’t have a prominent family and uncountable wealth. We aren’t the right match for each other if we stay together.”
She thought in her mind that she indeed had none of these and she was afraid that she would never be able to own them in her life. The only thing she could do was to stand by his side.
She wanted to stay with him through thick and thin.
Cormac Mendelsohn glanced at her, but he didn’t say anything, returned to his seat and started his car.
She turned her head and look at him, “Don’t you even have anything to say?”
He looked straight ahead and there was an undercurrent in his eyes. If he just thought that Jeffery Harris might have concealed something from him before, then he could already be sure now. If Marina wanted to call him and Loredana for dinner, it would be enough to inform him alone.
There was absolutely no need for Marina to specifically run to Loredana’s boutique.
Moreover, since he could remember things, it seemed that the person responsible for contacting him was Marina. Even though Marina was close to him, he rarely called her.
It wasn’t that he was unwilling to contact with her, but he preferred her to help him out after a long time.
However, he took the initiative to contact her twice in a row this time.
This was enough to explain the problem. In addition, Loredana wasn’t in a right mood, so it must have something happened.
Probably Loredana also knew something about this matter, but he didn’t know how much she knew about it.
“No one can interfere in my affairs.”
