Boyce looked down, “I’m sorry.”
“You weren’t only humiliating me when you have this thought.”
It was just a thought that flashed through Boyce’s mind, and he blurted it out. It was inappropriate. He felt bad about it.
After getting out of the lift, Boyce pushed Loredana out of the hotel entrance and headed to the car. Then, they saw Jayden.
Boyce stopped. Both Jayden and Boyce looked surprised to see each other, but soon, they knew why both of them came here. It was probably for the same reason.
After Victoria met Charles the other day, she went home and told Jayden about Charles. Victoria asked Jayden to get somebody to watch Charles, just in case he acted recklessly.
So, Jayden knew what happened in front of the hospital today.
“You went to see Charles?” Jayden kept his hand behind his back.
Loredana answered, “Yes. He will leave City B, and the doctor would be gone as well.”
Jayden raised his brows. He didn’t expect the case to resolve so soon.
“He put great effort to find the person, and now he promised to leave town and not reveal the truth?”
Boyce looked at Loredana. He wanted to know why Charles decide to let go as well.
“Charles didn’t want to reveal the truth. He was aiming at Jeffery, and he wanted vengeance for Nathan. He knew it wasn’t an easy task to deal with Jeffrey, so he decided to go back to White City first,” Loredana explained.
Jayden was still in doubt, but since Loredana explained what happened, he didn’t want to mess things up. Jayden sighed, “Just tell Cormac the truth if the secret is out.”
Jayden had aged, and he felt tired for all these years.
Loredana was surprised. After all these years of hiding, Jayden suddenly didn’t care about the secret anymore? Then why she needed to come and see Charles?
“I don’t want him to hear it from other people. It must be either from me, you, or Victoria.”
Loredana frowned. She couldn’t take this answer, “Then why did you hide the truth from him? Did you ever care about how he’d feel? Did you want him to kneel before Victoria and repent for his coldness all these years, or did you want him to fight Jeffery until one of them is dead? You knew how Jeffrey felt about Jolene… I’m sorry. I over-reacted.”
Loredana closed her eyes and rested her forehead on her hand. She almost had a nervous breakdown.
Jayden wasn’t triggered. What Loredana said made sense. They hid the truth from Cormac since the beginning and allowed him to grow grudges in his heart, and now…
“It’s getting late. Let’s go home,” when Jayden wanted to turn around, he was reminded of something. He looked at Loredana, “Samuel and Simona missed you. Call me when it’s convenient. I’ll bring them over to you.”
“Sure,” Loredana said.
Thomas opened the car door. Jayden got into the car and left.
Boyce asked, “Are we leaving now?”
Loredana shook her head. She needed some time to calm herself down. She didn’t want to go home looking like this, and she didn’t want Cormac to see her like this.
Loredana wasn’t feeling so well. Probably because she was triggered just now, and it affected her baby.
Boyce wanted to console her and patted her on her shoulder, but when his hand almost touched Loredana’ shoulder, he stopped. He realized it wasn’t appropriate. So, he withdrew his hand. Boyce stood silently beside Loredana by the roadside.
However, whatever happened was watched by the person in the car that stopped opposite the road.
He raised the car window and drove away quickly soon.
When the car passed Loredana, she raised her head and saw the man in the car. However, the vehicle was moving so fast, and she couldn’t recognize who was in the car.
The person in the car looked away after Loredana disappeared from his sight.
The night was dark. It began to rain. Raindrops fell gently from the sky.
Cormac had been in the tricky world of business for too long. He could hide his real thoughts pretty well. No one could pry his thoughts.
Even if Cormac was in a hazardous situation, he could still look calm like nothing happened. This was the picture now. His expression, his look and even his voice were as cold as the rain outside. “This is confidential. Report directly to me if you find anything.”
“Sure.”
Soon, the car disappeared in the heavy rain.
Loredana got into the car because of the rain. She didn’t look well. Boyce was worried, “Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Loredana understood the condition of her body well, “I’m fine. Let’s go home.”
Boyce wanted to say something, but when he saw her exhausted face, he kept quiet.
Soon, the car stopped in the villa.
It was raining heavily, Boyce Shawn let Loredana Flores wait for him inside the car, “I’ll go take an umbrella.”
He went to the trunk to get an umbrella in the rain and opened it, the rain hit on the umbrella producing the noisy sound, he walked to the front passenger seat and opened the door, “It’s raining too heavily, let me carry you in my arms to go inside.”
Loredana stepped on the board and got out of the car, Boyce immediately protected her from the rain using the umbrella.
She held Boyce’s arm, “It’s okay, I can walk, it’s just a short distance.”
Boyce didn’t force her, after all it was inappropriate for man and woman to touch each other.
She was walking slowly, Boyce put down the umbrella when they were inside the house. Armand Bernie and Abbott Baron had left, the dining room was also cleaned up already, Coral was tidying up the kitchen.
Loredana turned and looked at Boyce who was standing under the roof, the rain was dropping very fast from the sky, even the wind was carrying a bit of moisture, she lowered her voice and said, “I’m in a bad mood today, don’t mind about what I’ve said.”
“I know.” Boyce pursed his lips, “I’m the one who needs to apologize, I shouldn’t have suspected you in that way.”
“Tell Armand and Abbott, don’t tell that we had gone out today.” When she went out of the bungalow with Boyce, she didn’t evade them, they must have asked Coral about their whereabouts when they didn’t see them downstairs.
“I’ll call them, you shall go inside first because you’re already outside for a long time.”
Loredana nodded and said, “Drive slowly, it’s night-time, some more it’s raining, the vision is bad.”
“I will,” Boyce answered.
Loredana turned and walked into the house. Coral was going to throw the rubbish outside, she put down the things in her hands and trotted toward Loredana when she saw Loredana standing there, “Let me hold you.”
Loredana held her hand and walked inside slowly, “Coral, don’t tell Cormac that I had gone out today.”
Coral lowered her eyes and said, “Okay.”
“Is he still asleep? Does he throw up?” She was still worrying that his stomach might be impaired since he drank with empty stomach.
