Victoria lowered her eyes and worried, “Things have been so long ago. Why bother?”
“The hurt has been there even it has been so long ago. Don’t you resent Jeffery?” Loredana asked her mind.
Victoria got up and walked to the window. She looked out of the window.
“How to judge it was right or wrong? I promised Jolene back then, so I have to bear the consequences. But things that happened were unexpected. I’ve thought about it. Jeffery did not do many wrongs. People would only applaud him for doing so if I was the mistress who destroyed Jolane’s marriage. Isn’t it?”
“But you’re not the mistress,” Loredana looked at her.
“But things happened because of me. There are no such things happen if I reject Jolane at that time. Perhaps it was a quirk of fate, or it was destiny. I have long got over the past.”
Victoria felt that she had reached the pinnacle of her life. She was living together with her family members, and they were harmonious and happy. She did not dare to think that she could live happily with them in the past.
Although Cormac would not talk to her, it was good to see him from time to time.
She was satisfied with her life.
“Help me to persuade Charles,” Victoria knew that it was not easy to revenge against Jeffery. She did not want Charles to have an accident since he was Nathan’s adopted son.
“I’m afraid nobody can convince him,” Loredana understood that Charles was coming for revenge against Jeffery this time.
Victoria sighed. The next generation should not get involved in the grudge between the previous generation.
“Would you be happy if Charles successfully did his revenge against Jeffery?” Loredana walked over to Victoria.
Victoria shook her head and said, “I will not be happy. Jeffery has done something wrong, but he sincerely treats Cormac as his family.”
She did not want Cormac to know the truth because she afraid Cormac could not accept it. He had always been respectful of Jeffery. Since Cormac was Jolane’s child, Jeffery cared for Cormac as much as he cared for his sister.
Victoria saw how Jeffery treated Cormac.
She did not want Cormac to get involved in the past, which she could not tell whether it was right or wrong.
She was satisfied to see him from time to time as she did. She hardly dared to hope that she would hear from Cormac calling herself the mother in her lifetime.
“Where is Charles now?” Victoria suddenly turned around.
She could not watch Charles ask for trouble himself. She should persuade him for the sake of Nathan.
Loredana told her where Charles stayed.
Georgia had been to the Harris family’s place once, and she thought that Victoria’s approach was correct. They should not be entangled with the past since things had been concealed and had passed. It was more harm than good if they still brought up the past.
Cormac would be the most hurt person. He had always been respectful of Jeffery, who was his enemy. Cormac had always given short shrift to his birth mother and even hated her. How could he accept such a huge change?
How could he face it?
Victoria was afraid that Charles would disturb the peace.
“Go and have an early rest.”
Loredana said okay and turned around, and she walked out of the room.
Loredana walked out of the room while Cormac walked into the house from the entrance door at the same time. It just happened that Cormac saw Loredana coming out of Victoria’s room. His eyes shone with thought.
Loredana walked over to Cormac and took the coat in his hand, and asked, “Is Jeffery’s injury serious?”
“He has a non-life-threatening injury, only with his arms broken. He has to recuperate.”
Cormac went up to the second floor after speaking. Loredana hung the coat before following Cormac up to the second floor.
Loredana pushed the room door and saw a straight figure standing by the bed. Cormac was unbuttoning his shirt and had his back to Loredana, “What you did in her room?”
Loredana closed the door after entering the room, “Simona was sleeping with her, so I went in to see Simona. Why? Can’t I go to see my child?”
Cormac did not answer the question. He took off his shirt and tossed it onto the bed, then he unbuckled his belt and went into the bathroom.
Soon the sound of water came from the bathroom.
Loredana knew that there was still Loredana could not help but sigh, and she felt stressed because of knowing so much. How good if she knew nothing about it?
Loredana could put herself in Cormac’s shoes and look upon all the problems that happened. She would not have so many troubles.
She had a headache once she thought about Charles’s matter.
Loredana did not know whether she should tell Cormac about this. She was afraid that Charles would do something else if she did not tell Cormac.
Cormac was clever, and he would perceive something bearing on it.
Loredana looked thoughtful and did not know the sound of the water stopped in the bathroom.
“What are you thinking about?”
Loredana raised her head and saw…00
Cormac wore nothing but a white bath towel.
He was naked to the waist and exposed his muscles.
Drips of water rolled down his abdominal muscles to his groin area and then to his more sexy private part.
He exuded a strong sense of masculinity with this look and his cold, handsome face.
Loredana subconsciously swallowed and turned her head to the side, “Was it an accident?”
She wanted to know if Jeffery had sensed something wrong there.
Loredana would not tell Cormac that Charles was in City B if Charles did it secretly without leaving any trace.
They could conceal the car accident as if it did not happen if Victoria could convince Charles to let go of what happened in the past and leave City B.
Nobody would be affected by this matter.
Cormac slightly lowered his eyes, “It was not an accident.”
“You mean someone did it on purpose?” Loredana raised her volume suddenly, and soon she realized that she was too excited. She tried to cover her excitement with a smile, “I’m just worried about Jeffery.” Cormac remained silent and gazed at her indifferently.
Loredana did not dare to look at him. She lowered her head and said, “I’m going to take a shower.”
Cormac grabbed her by the wrist as soon as she moved. He spoke in a tone of command, “Look at me.”
