“How is that possible? If this is false, it’s totally impossible.” Boyce refused to believe it.
This was unthinkable.
Victoria was Cormac’s mother?
Stop making this kind of a joke.
“What I’m saying is true. If it’s true, should I tell him?” Loredana’ expression and voice clearly didn’t seem to be joking. Boyce then went silent.
After a moment, Boyce slowly spoke, “I don’t know, but I think that it would probably be hard deal with. Telling him that the person he has resented for a long time is actually his real mother? What kind of behavior and state of mind should he use to face this matter?”
He turned his head to Loredana, “Is this real?”
He felt that this was too strange; Victoria was Cormac’s mother?
“Jolene Harris and Jayden Mendelsohn’s marriage is between two clans. Have you heard of this?” Loredana closed her lips, and her voice sounded low.
She felt that fate was fooling people.
“I had heard about it.”
“That time, Jolene liked another person, and had no feelings for Jayden. After the marriage, both of them were respectful and kind to each other like close friends, and they didn’t have body contact. Jolene felt sorry for Jayden, so she wanted to find a woman to be with him.”
“That woman is Victoria?” Boyce only felt shocked. How could there be such a thing.
She was finding a woman for her husband?
It was just because she didn’t like him?
“You probably know the strength of the Harris family. Jolene wanted to give this child a legitimate identity, so she lied. No one in the Harris family knew about it, and only the people involved knew the truth.” She didn’t elaborate on the details of the matter.
Boyce didn’t know what to say.
“But why are you going to see Charles? Don’t tell me that this thing has something to do with Charles?” Boyce felt that this old matter had involvement with many people.
“Since you had been to White City, you might have some idea of Charles’ life story. He is Nathan White’s adopted child, while Nathan was Victoria’s first love… That time, Jeffery Harris found out the relationship between Victoria and Jayden, and he felt that Victoria was the third party destroying his sister’s marriage…”
Boyce somehow had understood everything. That time in White City and Kevin Forbis, as well as the Gambiered Canton Gauze were related to the Forbis family.
“Charles had found the doctor who delivered Victoria’s baby. His goal is to join forces with Cormac, and bring down Jeffery. His adoptive father was harmed by Jeffery when he was alive.” Loredana explained. “You don’t want Cormac to know about this?” Even though it was a question, it was in a positive mood.
Loredana clasped her hands together; she felt uncomfortable of the ambivalence, “I think that it is unfair to him, for he have to face the consequences of the things done by the past generation. If Jeffery knows the truth, I do not know how the things will turn out.”
“How much hatred Jeffery has for Victoria, can’t you see it from your perspective? When they are close to one another, he would have already gone lunatic. If he would know the truth…”
Was not it obvious? Things would have gone crazy.
“I don’t know. What if he would know about it, would he be angry at me?” Loredana choked a bit, as this matter gave her a difficult problem.
“Remember your original intention. About the future things, just think of them in the future. I believe that Cormac would understand why you do this. Perhaps, this secret will be buried as time goes on.” Boyce stopped the car by the side of the road. He didn’t know how to comfort Loredana, and then passed a tissue to her.
Loredana didn’t take it; she wiped the corner of her eyes, “I’m fine.”
It was not because of herself, but rather, she felt bad for Cormac.
Boyce looked at her face. She was always slim, even when pregnant; she didn’t gain weight at all, and looked very weak. However, when she was doing things, it didn’t look like that she couldn’t withstand its difficulty.
She and Victoria were close; maybe it’s because they knew of this horrendous past.
Now, Charles brought this matter back, but she still dealt with it calmly, and minimized the damage caused by this matter.
If she thought of this incident cool-headedly, then it would be better for everyone, no matter in which perspective they see it.
If Cormac’s parentage was revealed, then he would be considered as an illegitimate child?
He would not only be judge by other people of his identity, but also how could he accept being deluded for a long time? Should he hate himself, or hate those who deceived him?
If the truth was unraveled which everyone would be fussing about it, then what could it change? Who would benefit from it?
Boyce reactivated the car, and drove, “I somehow understand on why Cormac likes you.”
His voice was low, and Loredana didn’t hear it clearly, “Hmm?”
“Nothing.” Boyce focused on driving the car.
They soon arrived at that hotel. Boyce stopped the car, and got off. He came to the side of Loredana, took the wheelchair from the back, and helped her getting down the car.
Boyce pushed her to the elevator. As they reached that floor, she turned her look to Boyce, “You wait for me here.”
“Let me go in with you.” He was worried since Charles knew of her thoughts; he was also the one who brought her here, so he had to guarantee her safety.
“Okay then.” He knew about this anyway, and there was nothing to hide.
When they reached the door of the room, Boyce rang the doorbell. Quickly, the door was opened. Charles wasn’t surprised at all when he saw Loredana.
She purposely interrupted him by the hospital, and he knew that she wouldn’t want Cormac to know about it.
Charles had anticipated that Loredana would come, so he let Tom to return to his room. He glanced at Boyce, “I want to talk to Loredana privately.”
“Her body now is still not well; I have to guard her.” Boyce’s attitude was clear and tough.
Charles laughed, “You are able to come with her, so presumably you know what it is about. You have to understand that the initiative is with me. I can choose not to discuss.” The look on Boyce’s face changed.
“Boyce, it’s alright. You stay by the door. If there’s anything, I will call you.” Loredana looked at him, and shook her head for him not to be impetuous, “He wouldn’t do anything to me.” Boyce took a look at Charles, and turned around walking out from the room.
Charles closed the door and looked at Loredana. He made no effort to hide his feelings for her, “Say, do you think I should be happy, or be sad?”¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
Charles was glad that Loredana came to see him, but at the same time, he felt devastated that Loredana came to see him for another man.
Loredana didn’t want to waste her time. She cut into the chase, “You broke your promise. I’m disappointed at you. I think you knew why I came to you. Tell me, what is it that I have to do to make you let go of this? I won’t stop you if you want to take revenge on Jeffery. It doesn’t matter to me if you’re dead or alive, but I won’t allow you to use Cormac as the weapon for your vengeance. Don’t think that I can’t do anything to you because I want to keep Cormac in the dark. Don’t forget that this is City B. Other than Cormac, there’s also Jayden in this city.”
Jayden wasn’t in charge of business for quite some time, but it didn’t mean that he was capable. It was an easy deed for Jayden to deal with an outsider like Charles.
Loredana didn’t always display her humbleness. At times, she was stubborn too. It meant she could play the hardball, and she could do negotiation as well.
Charles stared at Loredana for some time. Then he laughed, “You really would do anything for him.”
“He is my husband, the father of my children. I would do anything for him,” Loredana said. She stared back at Charles.
Loredana had nothing to hide.
