He shut the computer and sat on the sofa for a while. As he thought that Samuel should be asleep, he got up and headed to the back and put up the curtain so that people in the front couldn’t see the rear.
Indeed, both children were lying down at the time, Simona was truly asleep. Maybe since the car was bumpy which make it just like a ‘cradle’, so she was sleeping soundly while Samuel was not sleeping at all but just pretending that he was asleep.
“Can you tell me what you’re looking at?” Cormac approached and started a conversation with Loredana.
Loredana knew who was coming in, she didn’t even bother to lift her head, and continued to study the material. She was still calculating where to put the machine when she returned to B city, and maximize the effect of promotion for the Tea Silk.
As time passed, people had forgotten about this silk, and several excellent materials had also been discovered throughout the years.
If she wanted to open up the market again, she needed to come out with strategies.
Cormac was speechless.
Was she trying to ignore him?
Did she just treat him as air?
“I’m looking at something. Do you want something to drink?” Loredana eventually raised her head.
Cormac gasped vigorously. In fact, he was not thirsty at all, and he came over was to see her.
“Are you ignoring me on purpose?” He lowered his voice.
He couldn’t be as calm if there weren’t two kids present at the time.
Was it considered self-control? For Loredana, it was a joke.
His mood would fluctuate in response to her attitude.
Loredana didn’t want to remain at odds with him. “It was you who first alienated me. What did I do wrong, please tell me directly, and don’t beat about the bush as I don’t have the mood and energy to guess, seriously,” she says.
Cormac gazed at her for a few seconds, “Are you keeping something from me?”
For a brief while, Loredana’ heart pounded. Was he still suspicious?
Since that night, he had been asking her this question nonstop.
What did he notice?
What did he discover?
“I…”
Loredana paused for a while and get herself emotionally prepared before saying bluntly, “I do keep something from you, but I can’t tell you what it is.”
Because Cormac had already discovered it, she realized that hiding it would just heighten his suspicions, so she decided to tell him herself.
Cormac was speechless.
“Why?”
“Because this is my secret, everyone, including myself, has stuff in which we don’t want to tell. You, too, must have some things and some people you don’t want to talk about, don’t you?”
Cormac frowned as he found that what she said was irrefutable. Indeed, who doesn’t have things they don’t want to talk about?
But why did he feel uneasy?
He didn’t like that she kept something from him, did he?
He wished that she can be truthful with him, both emotionally and in life.
Cormac’s Adam’s apple was rolling but he eventually repressed his unhappiness in his heart as he could not question and force her.
The atmosphere in the compartment was odd and awkward, and Cormac turned around in the dead silence.
Loredana stopped him.
“Cormac.”
She got up from the bed and glanced at his back. He was incredibly tall as he stood in the compartment with his head almost touching the ceiling.
“Does that bother you a lot?” Loredana wanted to let him know who Victoria Forbis was too.
She was a mother, and she knew how her mother felt.
At the same time, she understood.
She understood why Victoria wanted to keep it from others.
She admired Victoria perseverance. If it had been her, she wouldn’t have been able to do so.
Cormac kept silent as he didn’t know the point he cared about was her concealment or the thing she kept from him.
“If you refuse to accept it, we’ll…”
Cormac quickly whirled around and his eyes were like sharp blades. He fixed his glare at her, “We’ll what?”
“We’ll break up.” Loredana realized she had gone too far in expressing this, but she also wanted to see his sentiments for her. This topic, destined to make them unhappy. He might feel uneasy if she continued to keep the secret.
Although she knew that she was into this man.
But, she had promised Victoria.
Now, she could only keep that from him.
Was he angry?
This word was not enough to describe Cormac’s feeling now.
How could this woman say she wanted to break up?
Were they going to break up?
Was she going to break up with him?
Loredana didn’t dare to glance at his eyes, but he could still feel the terrifying coldness as he narrowed his gaze and clenched his slightly elevated jaw muscles.
“Never!” He pulled her into his arms. Without her realizing, he clumsily kissed her lips or to be more accurate was to bite her. What Loredana said had exceeded the limit of his patience.
He appeared to be punishing.
Loredana understood his rage and fury and did not feel pain.
He was enraged, which indicates that he cared.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her head to kiss him back.
“I’m glad,” she responded with a smile.
For a brief while, Cormac was stunned. “You…”
“I know you’re upset because you don’t want to break up with me, don’t you?” She had a bright, broad, compassionate, and sincere grin on her face.
So did she purposefully state that?
In front of this woman, Cormac felt as if his IQ had dropped to zero.
“Are you testing me?” He screamed while he laughed “Yes, since you are so much older than me, who knows how many relationships you have had, and I wondered if you are sincere about me…” Loredana said solemnly.
