Marina was about to say something, but she came to a halt. She couldn’t say it out.
She finally sighed, “Do you know the relationship between Cormac and Victoria?”
Loredana became nervous suddenly and nodded seriously, “Yes, I know.”
“Why do you want to be close to her if you know the relationship between Cormac and her?”
Marina was quite satisfied with Loredana.
Except for the fact that Loredana had disappointed her on the matter of Victoria, she couldn’t think of anything else that she didn’t like about Loredana.
If Jeffery hadn’t had a knot in his heart about Victoria for so many years, he might not have made such a resolute decision to separate Loredana and Cormac.
Loredana was very flustered. Could it be that they had already known this?
She restrained her fluster and forced herself to remain calm, “I don’t have a close relationship with her…”
Marina sighed again. If she hadn’t seen for herself that Loredana was together with Victoria, she would definitely have believed Loredana.
Marina said sincerely and earnestly, “Cormac was born by Jolene, and he is the only heir of the Mendelsohn family. His identity is indubitable. However, he is also Jeffery’s only nephew, the only child of Jeffery’s sister, who was born by the same mother as him. Jeffery’s concern and love for Cormac were also undeniable. But you are different…”
Loredana came from the Flores family, which had already been ripped apart and broken up. Loredana was the only one left. She had no advantage from her family already.
She had a close relationship with Victoria, which meant she was not in the same boat as Cormac.
This was the most disappointing thing for Marina and Jeffery.
If Loredana could distinguish between right and wrong, she couldn’t be close with Victoria.
Loredana had the weight off her mind. According to Marina, did she mean that she was already certain that Cormac was born by Jolene?
As long as Jeffery didn’t find out the truth, it was not a big deal for her.
“I know.” Loredana could vaguely understand the meaning behind Marina’s lines.
Cormac’s position was noble, but Loredana was different.
The Flores family had suffered a setback. Loredana could be said to have no one to rely on. She was nothing if Cormac didn’t take her under his wing.
She was well aware of it.
But she didn’t get the underlying meaning.
“I suddenly remember that I have other things to deal with. I’ll treat you again for the meal next time.”
Marina couldn’t bear lying to Loredana and let her misunderstood Cormac.
She was aware that she was impulsive and that Jeffery might get angry, but she still couldn’t separate Loredana and Cormac.
Marina left in a hurry, and Loredana didn’t have a chance to ask her to stay. She could feel that Marina didn’t just come to find her for dinner, but she seemed to have another purpose.
She had no idea if Marina’s aim had been achieved.
Anxiety erupted from her heart. She was flustered in her heart, and it was stuffy to the point where it was difficult for her to breathe.
She covered her heart with her hand and stood in front of the French window. She lowered her head and gazed out the window at the people on the street.
She went over everything she and Marina had said to see if there was anything wrong.
There were only a few sentences they had said, and they all seemed to have nothing wrong.
However, her mood remained inexplicably depressed.
It had not been a year since she had returned to the country. However, a lot had happened around her, and almost everything that happened had something to do with her. Everything that happened was out of her expectations, including the good, the bad, and the uncontrollable.
She slowly closed her eyes and tried to calm herself.
She even could hear her heartbeat clearly in the quiet room. Lub-dub, lub-dub…
Suddenly, there was a warmth that slowly surrounded her from her back. She opened her eyes abruptly and turned around her head…
Suddenly, there was a warmth that slowly surrounded her from her back. She opened her eyes abruptly and turned around her head… The face that came into her view was the one that she was so familiar with to the point that it was almost carved into her bones.
Actually, nothing had happened. Everything was good.
But she had no idea why she felt anxious in her heart as if a hole had been dug in her heart and her chest had become empty. She wanted to find something to fill it.
She turned around and threw herself into his arms. Her hands held his slender waist tightly.
Cormac lowered his gaze, stroked her hair, and asked lightly, “What happened to you?”
He could feel that she wasn’t in a good mood today.
Loredana buried her face into his embrace and muffled, “Let me hug you for a while. Just a little while will do.”
She just needed some time to adjust her mood. She would be all right soon if she was given some time.
Cormac didn’t say anything else but hugged her tightly.
Cormac’s palm was wide and thick, and it was so warm that it seemed to be able to calm other people’s minds.
He stroked Loredana’ back. Loredana slowly calmed down in his hug.
She raised her head and asked after she held off for a while, “Why are you here?”
Cormac kissed her forehead, stroked her hair which was at her forehead, and said with his low voice, “Uncle invited me for a meal. I’m here to take you with me.” Loredana’ eyelashes trembled, and she felt something wasn’t right.
Marina also came to invite her for dinner today, but she changed her mind in the end and left in a hurry.
Was this a dinner appointment or two different dinner appointments?
“Is it aunty who called you?” Loredana tried to ask.
“No.” Jeffery was the one who contacted him.
Loredana suddenly realized why Marina had changed her mind so abruptly. This dinner was most likely a trap for them.
However, if the dinner was a set-up, then who did Jeffery want to go up against?
According to Marina, Jeffery believed firmly in Cormac’s identity. So, he obviously wouldn’t do anything bad to him.
