Chapter 84 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

This was really bewildering.

Nevertheless, this had nothing to do with her. She handed the photo back to Terry and said, “Sorry. But this has nothing to do with me.”

Terry took the photo and put it back into his pocket. Knowing that this matter could not be achieved rashly, he said, “Are you waiting for a cab. I can give you a ride.”

Loredana declined, “No need.”

“Aren’t you waiting for a cab as you are standing by the roadside?”

Loredana was still standing motionlessly.

“I’m not a bad guy and I won’t charge you a lot either.” Terry said sincerely.

Loredana hesitated for a while. She then pulled open the door and got into the car as she thought he really didn’t look like a bad guy.

Terry asked, “Where’s your destination?”

Loredana replied, “Golden Bay.”

Terry didn’t mention about his brother again; instead, he made a self-introduction, “My name is Terry

Holmes. You can just call me Terry.”

Feeling that he was excessively enthusiastic, Loredana ignored his words.

“Ahem, I hope I haven’t offended you.” Terry finally realized that it was inappropriate to talk much as this was their first meeting. But he wanted to leave a good impression to Loredana, so that he could find out the grudges between her and his brother as well as why she was so furious just now.

It took just five or six minutes to arrive at Loredana’ destination.

Loredana paid the bill and then got off the car.

Terry stopped her, asking, “Can I be your friend?”

“We’re not that familiar with each other. And sorry, I don’t like to make friends.” Loredana declined without hesitation.

But Terry didn’t give up. He pushed open the door and got off the car. But he was stopped when he tried to chase after Loredana, “What are you doing? Do you know about her identity?”

“Who are you?” Terry stared at the man that was blocking his way.

“My identity doesn’t matter. The important thing is that you cannot have immoderate ambitions towards her. Remember it?” Abbott warned him.

Loredana turned around when she heard Abbott’s voice, and her face got even gloomier.

“Ms. Flores.” Abbott quickly changed his expressions and walked towards her with a smile, “Mr. Mendelsohn wants to meet you.”

Loredana didn’t feel curious when she saw Abbott. After all, it was Cormac who had forced her to come back to the country, so naturally he must know her residence.

She also wanted to have a talk with him.

“Let’s go.” Loredana headed towards Abbott’s car.

Abbott was not in a hurry to follow her; he shot a glance at Terry, saying, “If I see you pestering her next time, I won’t let go of you this kindly.”

Only then did he get into the car after giving the man who was pestering Loredana the warning.

Loredana remained quiet and didn’t say anything. She just looked out of the car window blandly.

Abbott turned his head to steal a glance at her and then concentrated on the driving. On the way to the villa, Loredana felt that the sceneries passing through the car windows were getting more and more familiar. Six years had passed, yet it seemed like everything had not changed.

Loredana slightly furrowed her brows.

Although she hadn’t lived in the villa for too long, she could still clearly remember everything happened here.

The car soon came to a halt. Loredana heaved a long sigh to calm down herself before pushing open the door.

Abbott didn’t intend to get into the villa together with her and instructed, “Mr. Mendelsohn is waiting for you inside. You go in by yourself.”

Loredana casted a look at him and asked, “Do you know why he wants to meet me?”

“I’m not that clear of it as it’s my boss’ private affairs.”

Loredana chuckled when recalling that Abbott was Cormac’s subordinate, so how could he inform her in advance if Cormac wanted to do something bad to her?

Her question just now was way too superfluous.

She walked towards the door and took a deep breath before pushing open it.

In the right part of the spacious, simple, well-lighted and spotless living room laid a piano, which was sent by Garrett back then. It was still placed at the same position and it seemed that it had never been moved.

In that year, she left the country hurriedly after the accident without taking any of her belongings. She didn’t even have time to pack her clothes, not to mention the piano.

Loredana stepped into the house.

The decorations here were as the same as they were before her leaving, and it seemed everything had not changed.

“Do you remember this place?”

A man in a black shirt was standing on the second floor. The top button of his shirt was unclasped and his sleeves were rolled up to his arms, which exposed his beefy arms. With one hand in his pocket, he was holding a goblet with the other hand and was swirling the red liquor in it. The liquor was dancing like a thing alive in the glass along with his movements.

Loredana looked up with a light smile, “Mr. Mendelsohn.”

Cormac’s expressions froze a bit. Mr. Mendelsohn?

She had been addressing him as ‘Mr. Mendelsohn’ back then, but after hearing her addressing him as

‘Cormac’, he didn’t like that address any longer because it sounded unfamiliar and alienated.

He preferred her to call him Cormac.

“Are you familiar with this place?” He walked downstairs while asking.

“It’s been a long time and I can’t remember it clearly.” Loredana refused to admit it and denied all her memories about Cormac as well as her feelings for him.

“You called me here, and you want to talk about some matters with me, right?” Loredana walked to the sofa and sat down with her legs gracefully crossed and one of her hand on the sofa armrest, “I happened to have something to talk to you, Mr. Mendelsohn.”

She had something to talk to him?

Cormac felt a bit surprised about this.

He put the glass of red wine in front of her, “For you.”

Loredana expressed her gratitude politely, “Thank you.”

Cormac raised his brows. Judging from her tone and attitude, was she really going to treat him as a stranger?

He suppressed the displeasure and sat down opposite to her.

“What do you want to talk with me?”

Loredana clasped her hands tightly, “Six years ago you said you wanted a divorce. We’ve made the agreement back then and we should have divorced. Nevertheless, due to my accident, we didn’t get the divorce certificates in the end. I feel very sorry for all the inconvenience that this has caused to you.

And I come to you to go through the procedures for getting the divorce certificates…”

“This is what you want to talk to me?” Cormac interrupted her.

He had told her last time, that he had cancelled the engagement banquet with Maria. Now she came to him and said these to him?

Hadn’t he made it clear last time?

Cormac’s face darkened.

“Yeah. Mr. Mendelsohn, I’ve carefully considered your words. Even if you can accept that, I can’t. So, just like what we had agreed in the past, I want a divorce now.”

Loredana realized that her palms were covered by a layer of sweats after finishing the words.

Cormac sneered.

He leaned back on the sofa and stared at her with a composed look.

Loredana felt uneasy and nervous under his gaze.

She finally calmed down herself after a long while, “If you’re free now, we can go through the procedures today…”

Seeming to thinking of something, Loredana chuckled self-depreciatingly, “Oh, I forgot it. Mr. Mendelsohn doesn’t need to handle such kind of thing in person. You just need to give an order to Abbott Baron.”

Cormac frowned and asked, “Finished?”

Loredana nodded and straightened up her back, ready to listen to his intentions.

Cormac didn’t say anything; instead, he opened a piece of social news in his phone and then handed the phone to Loredana.

Loredana was puzzled and looked over curiously. When she saw the photo, she became highly strung up and hurriedly reached out to grab the phone. The person in the photo was his son and it seemed to be taken in a private room of a restaurant. The object in Samuel’s hands was quite eye-catching, and

Cormac’s side face was also photographed clearly.

“What’s this?”

“When I was having a negotiation with Mr. Powell of SD Corporation, your son broke into the room with that object in his hands and said that it was mine in front of everyone. The scene was photographed by someone with bad intentions and was then published on the Internet.” He reached out, unclasped the button of his neckline and said nonchalantly, “The news has spread out. Do you know how the others comment about me?”

Loredana pondered why Samuel made troubles for Cormac. But what shocked her most was that how he managed to get the Durex.

He was just a five-year-old boy.

“Sorry. I will discipline him…” Wait, something must have been wrong. Samuel could by no means get the Durex, what if the Durex was really from Cormac?

“It’s not mine.” Cormac said in a gloomy voice after seeing through Loredana’ mind. If it was not because of his remaining reasons, he would have grabbed her collar and shouted at her: I don’t have the habit of carrying condoms together with me at any time!

Loredana sneered, “My son is so young. I’m afraid that he doesn’t even know what it is. Moreover, why didn’t he give it to others, but to you?

Loredana trusted her son inwardly.

Although he did have some petty tricks, he would by no means be able to come up with such a trick to frame Cormac.

Alas.

All right.

Cormac stood to his feet and unfastened the buttons of his shirt one by one while staring at Loredana patronizingly.

Loredana uncontrollably moved backward and stared at him vigilantly, “What are you doing?”
