Chapter 222 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

It wouldn’t be that humiliating.

“No way!” Theresa lifted the blanket. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.

“How could such a silly thing happen if it wasn’t you who insisted let me drink? Hmm…”

Armand grabbed the pillow she’d thrown at him. He then raced up to cover her lips and said, “You are so loud, do you want everyone to know we slept together last night?”

Theresa rolled her eyes and shook her head. She didn’t want to.

It was really too humiliating.

“Let’s simply pretend to be in a relationship, after some time we claim that we are not suitable for each other and we break up, then it won’t be too awkward, what do you think?” Armand could see she didn’t want others to know, so he took advantage of the situation to bring up the suggestion to pretend to be a couple.

He planned to fool Loredana first.

Theresa paused for a while, but still, she didn’t change her mind to agree on what he was going to do.

Armand took a long breath and wondered why this woman was so stubborn.

“Alright, as a man, for me, it was nothing more than a one-night stand. It’s not a big deal, I’ll just tell them that we got drunk and slept together last night.” Armand said while he was pretending to open the door.

Theresa was panicked.

Armand grasped the door handle and acted like he was trying to open it.

“Please wait.” Theresa’s mind was racing. She then agreed with what Armand said. It was more preferable to pretend to be a couple with him for a short while than admitting that they had a one-night stand. She clearly knew that there were so many people that they would have to face and it was simply too humiliating if they admitted directly.

“I promise you, we’ll pretend to be a couple first.” Theresa had to get up the nerve to agree with his suggestion.

Armand had had a good explanation in his mind. He opened the door, but then he found that there was no one there longer. He stuck out his head and found that Loredana had returned to her room.

Loredana believed she was too impulsive that she shouldn’t have knocked on their door at that time, that was, regardless of what their relationship was, she shouldn’t have gone to knock on their door.

She was simply too shocked. Once she had calmed down, she recognized there was something wrong with what she had done, so she prepared to leave.

She didn’t want them to be ashamed and couldn’t face her.

“Ms Flores,” exclaimed Armand.

Loredana turned around to see Armand sticking his head out, “I have something to tell you when we eat breakfast later,” he said.

Loredana nodded and pulled open the door to the room. She originally wanted to walk outside for some fresh air, but she was no longer in the mood as she was wondering what Armand was about to say.

Was he going to tell her about what happened between him and Theresa?

The curtains were drawn and the room was dark. Loredana sat at the bedside absentmindedly.

Theresa was not an easy girl. They had just known one other for a short time, how could …

“Can you tell me what you’re thinking?” Cormac Mendelsohn awoke from his sleep and saw Loredana had dressed and got up. He found her sitting at the bedside and stared blankly. He turned over and stretched across her waist. He put his hand around her slim waist and gently let Loredana fell into his arms.

Cormac buried his face into Loredana’ neck and sniffed the smell of her body. His voice was as hoarse as usual when he was just awake, “Why are you up so early?”

Loredana was so concentrated on Armand’s presence in Theresa’s room, and it was so obvious that he had spent the night in Theresa’s room the night before.

“How do you describe Armand?”

Theresa had been following her for a long time. Despite the fact that she was Chinese, but she was adopted by a foreigner and was raised overseas.

She followed her to go back to China. She must be responsible to take care of her since she was all alone here.

“What are you asking him for?” Cormac said as he abruptly raised his head and looked at Loredana.

“I saw him come out of Theresa’s room,” Loredana said as she turned to look at him.

Cormac blinked, his long eyelashes spread out a few times. It took a few seconds for him to understand it.

Theresa and Armand?

“…” Cormac was speechless.

He raised his hand and rested his arm on his brow. This man took quick action.

“I’m asking you a question. Theresa has no relatives, she followed me back here, I have to be accountable for her. Is Armand a reliable person?” Loredana urged him.

“He… is quite good.” Cormac rolled over with his back to Loredana.

He could neither betray his friend nor defraud his wife.

Loredana sensed something was wrong. It was evident that he was avoiding it. She grabbed his shoulders and forced him to face her. Meanwhile, her tone was a little more serious. “Be honest.”

“When will you let me sleep with you. I am a normal man, I can’t stand this…,” Cormac said as he wrapped his hands around her.

“I’m talking to you seriously, if you do this again, I’ll get angry,” Loredana pressed his face.

Cormac lifted his head miserably and wondered why he would end up like this.

He glanced up at the sky solemnly, he felt that he was the saddest man in the world.

“I’m going to ask Boyce Shawn.” While he was talking, Loredana wanted to get up but Cormac held her even tighter, as compared to maintain their friendship, it was more important to please his wife.

“He used to have a girlfriend and the girl was his first love but then they broke up, which hit him hard, for many years, he has not been serious about finding a partner. For this time, he may be serious, otherwise…”

He gave Loredana a glance and signalled her that she could be able to understand. He used the chance to put his arms around hers and said, “I have never been in a relationship before.”

He focused on his profession once he took over the company. The main reason was that he barely had any free time, and the second reason was that he couldn’t meet the one he had a feeling for.

“You pay me back.”

The lust in his body was so strong that all his muscles were tensing.

He felt that he would be tortured to death sooner or later.

Men were highly sensitive in the morning and the sensation became stronger in the presence of the lady they liked.

His breathing became deeper as he softly shouted her name, “Lola”

“I don’t like a man who spends his entire day thinking about sex.”

Loredana was harsh and discouraging.

“…” Cormac was speechless.

What she said to put out his raging desire and even the traces of desire were gone.

“Sooner or later, I will have died because of you,” Cormac said as he turned over and stared at the ceiling.

He had no idea what was wrong with him and why he always wanted to sleep with her.

He wanted to coax her to sleep with him.

But she was not easy to be coaxed.

“I am in love with Theresa.”

When everyone arrived at the restaurant at breakfast time, Armand hugged Theresa in his arms and announced.

Theresa was not used to his intimate behaviour and struggled in his arm. Armand leaned forward and warned in a low voice, “If you don’t want to be exposed, then behave yourself.”

Theresa had no choice but pretended to be a lovey-dovey couple with Armand.
