Loredana nodded. Leaning against the back of the chair, she continued to rest. Right then, she felt vibrant on her cell phone. As if she got the electric shot on her hand, she shivered. Looking down, she swiped to unlock the cell phone screen. Another photo was sent over, on which it was she who took over the money from that old woman.
Then she received another message: “You’ve taken the money and sold your body. Then you got pregnant unexpectedly. Don’t you want to know who the father of your child is?”
Loredana’ hand couldn’t stop shaking, uneasiness surging in her heart. She hurriedly typed a line: “Who are you? What’s your purpose? How do you know this matter?”
This time, without any hesitation, she pressed the send button.
“What’s wrong?” Cormac sensed her bad mood.
Loredana couldn’t help but breathe fast uncontrollably. She lied again casually, “Theresa was texting me about something on work.”
Cormac didn’t suspect. He glanced at her face. “If you need anything, just let me know.”
“Okay.” Loredana looked down.
How could she be able to tell him about this matter?
Telling him that she had sold herself?
Selling her body?
She didn’t know how much evidence the person had in his hands. She was so afraid that her dark history back then would be disclosed in public.
Especially he would know it…
Essentially, she was quite uncertain about Cormac and she couldn’t trust him.
There was a deep and wide gap between Cormac and her.
She always wondered if he truly didn’t care that she had lost her virginity.
Would he not care since she had given birth?
He just avoided those topics purposely.
It was not that he didn’t care.
He just deliberately ignored those matters.
Soon, she received another message.
Loredana tabbed it to read.
“I’m a party.”
Those simple words were like a thunderbolt above her head.
A party?
Was the person the man that night?
Loredana panicked.
At this moment, Maria was sitting in a booth in a bar, her unfinished drink on the table.
Curling up her lips, she sent another message: “Whenever you want to meet me, just contact me. I heard that your store is opened today. Congratulations.”
The uneasiness had become deeper and deeper, fully occupying her whole body. She knew nothing about the other party, but the other party seemed to know everything about her, including what was going on around her.
She felt as if her life was peeped at, which sickened her a lot.
It meant that such kind of a person existed, who could always jump out, walk to her, and disturb her current life.
While she was lost in thought, the car was parked at the villa.
There was another car parked next to them, which didn’t belong to Cormac nor Loredana.
Cormac got off the car. When he saw the car parked aside, he frowned, looking more and more annoyed.
“Good evening, Mr. Mendelsohn.” Thomas was standing at the door waiting for him instead of staying inside the house.
Seeing them come back, Thomas walked up to them immediately.
“What did they come here for?” His voice was slightly cold.
The old couple seldom came over. They suddenly came here without informing him ahead of this time, which made Cormac quite unhappy.
Thomas smiled. “Yes, they have something to tell you.”
As he spoke, he turned to look at Loredana. “This must be Mrs. Loredana.”
Loredana kept silent.
She didn’t know how to respond to such kind of title.
“Please hurry up and go in. All of them are waiting for you in there.” Thomas walked to open the door for them with a smile.
Loredana stood motionlessly at the spot. She looked at Cormac. “Have your parents come here?”
Cormac didn’t answer. Obviously, they did come here.
“They seldom came here.” His tone was deep with a subtle sense of rejection.
For some reason, Loredana felt so panicked. Although she had met Victoria, she hadn’t met Cormac’s father officially yet.
She felt so nervous as if an ugly daughter-in-law was going to meet the parents-in-law.
Seeing her hesitate, Cormac walked to her and grabbed her hand. “I’ll be with you. Why are you so scared?”
“I’m not scared.” Loredana retorted.
However, she did feel nervous.
She wondered why they had come here.
In the bar…
Maria took a sip of the wine. Feeling quite bored alone, she picked up the phone and sent two photos to Loredana. This time, she didn’t send Loredana’ photos, but the photos of Samuel and Simona.
They were taken in the recent few days.
She had been well-prepared this time.
