Neither could Jeffery!
He made his attitude clear. As long as he liked, no one could stop him!
She took the initiative to lean on his shoulder, “Do you believe in fate?” “No.” He only believed in himself.
She tilted her head, looked at him and said seriously, “I believe.”
“Don’t you think we’re destined for each other?”
In that night, something that was unpredicted occurred. They thought that they would never cross paths with each other again anymore, but it was unexpected that they had a betrothal when they were still young.
What an amazing destiny.
He hugged her with one of his hand. The corners of his mouth curved upwards slightly and his white teeth shined brightly, “You’re right about everything.”
She took a glance at him, “Are you brushing me off?”
He grabbed her hand, pressed it against his chest and smiled, “It’s true. I swear.”
She didn’t talk to him as she really might not be able to outargue him.
He is as shameless as a hoodlum.
At this moment, the car stopped at the restaurant which Jeffery said.
It was a Chinese restaurant.
Jeffery was more old-fashioned and he disliked western food. Thus, he always chose a few restaurants that had a good taste of Chinese food in City B.
This restaurant was one of them. In order to provide guests a different experience, it was decorated in a unique style with a Chinese frame and modern details. The waiters wore in black suits while waitresses wore in cheongsams. When both stood together, it showed particularly a harmonious match.
As they approached, the greeter at the entrance immediately pushed the door open and showed an inviting gesture.
Upon entering, a waiter in a black suit with a collar badge walked over, “Do you have an appointment?”
Cormac nodded slightly, “I’m looking for Mr. Harris.”
“Please follow me.” The waiter knew that he was the guest of the private room as soon as he heard it, then he led the way politely and respectfully.
When he reached the door of the room, he stepped aside, “It’s here.”
Loredana grabbed his arm tightly as she suddenly felt nervous to face Jeffery.
Cormac held her hand and put it into his arm, saying in a low voice, “I’m here.”
She pursed her lips and nodded gently.
As the door was opened, Jeffery was sitting in the middle with a beautiful woman sitting next to him inside the spacious room.
Two of them were talking and seemed to have a good conversation as they showed their smiles on their faces.
They looked towards the door at the same time when the door was opened.
The woman’s gaze fell on Cormac first before falling on Loredana.
The moment Jeffery saw Loredana had come, his smile gradually disappeared and his expression turned stern and icy.
There was no way that Cormac hadn’t noticed such a drastic change in his demeanour.
His eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly hid and walked in with Loredana.
Chloe was enthusiastic, “We were talking about you guys just now!”
Loredana glanced at her. Perhaps both of them were women and women knew more about each other, she clearly felt that this woman was getting close to them on purpose, especially towards Cormac. “I wonder what you’ve said about us?” Loredana asked with a smile.
“You’re Mrs. Mendelsohn, right?” She replied, “You’re so young and pretty.”
She had a way with words.
Loredana maintained her decent smile, “You flatter me. I’m not young either as my child is six years old now. You’re younger.”
The corners of Chloe’s eyes twitched slightly as Jeffery had told her that Cormac was married, but it was a hidden marriage. How come she even had a child?
Jeffery was going to tell her, but he hadn’t had the chance.
He patted her shoulder. Both of them didn’t speak. They only made an eye contact.
It seemed to be saying that he would tell her about this matter.
He was unhappy and angry at Marina for not getting things done. However, there was nothing he could do about it since she had come.
The reason he didn’t explicitly tell Cormac to divorce Loredana was because he could see that Cormac cared a lot about her.
He remembered that Cormac protected her at every turn. He even didn’t mind about the surnames of his two children.
He knew more or less about Cormac’s character, so he didn’t dare to talk to him at all. As long as Cormac didn’t agree, there was nothing he could do.
It would be too late for him to do anything about it.
As soon as he made a move, Cormac would know that he was the one who did it.
All he could do now was to secretly get Loredana out of the way.
No…
In the last resort he would use the same trick again.
He would never allow Loredana and Victoria were of one mind!
“Let me introduce. This is the daughter of my colleague, Chloe.” He looked at Cormac and said deliberately, “You’ve met her that day at the hotel, right?”
Loredana’s heart thumped for a moment.
He had met with this woman at hotel?
“You don’t need to introduce this. He’s in City B. Everyone in this whole country knows it and besides, we have met before …”
As she spoke, her gaze inadvertently skimmed over Loredana’s face.
Loredana clenched her hands under the table and her palm was sweating. However, her face looked extremely calm, “What you said is right. There’s a lot of people who know him and it’s not surprising that he knows you.”
