“You keep rejecting me. Are you afraid that Mr. Mendelsohn will be jealous?”
Loredana heard Charles’s words after she got into the car.
She raised her head and looked at him.
Charles thought that she would deny it and unexpectedly heard her words, “He’s my husband, and I always have to think of his feelings.”
Charles was overwhelming with emotions, and his heart was missing a part. He forced a smile and said, “You guys are devoted to each other.”
Loredana answered nothing but smiled.
Soon the atmosphere in the car became quiet. Loredana looked out the window and did not intend to speak. Charles did not continue to say as well. He was afraid that he would feel more pain in his heart.
The most painful, deep feeling was seeing your love who had someone in her heart.
Two people were awkward if they did not talk to each other when sitting together.
“I have a guess,” Charles suddenly spoke.
Loredana asked, “What guess?”
“Cormac maybe Victoria’s son,” Charles guessed based on the information he knew.
“My adoptive father Nathan asked me to marry Victoria’s daughter. That’s mean he knows that Victoria had given birth in the past, then she married Jayden. So where do you think her child went?”
Loredana did not expect Charles would guess it. She was overwhelmed with emotions in her heart but pacified then. She pretended to be calm, “Mr. White has a good imagination.”
Charles smiled, “Am I guess wrongly?”
Loredana smiled as well and did not show her slip, “There must be no evidence since you said it was a guess. How would I know about it?”
At the same time, the car stopped in front of the hotel. Loredana opened the car door, “I’ll go first.”
She found out that her coat got caught by the gap of the seat when she ready got out of the car.
Charles helped her to pull it out, “I’ve modified the interior space of this car, but it seems like not perfect. Otherwise, there would not be such a big gap in the seat.”
Charles needed to get on and off the wheelchair, so he modified the interior space of his car.
Charles moved his body to Loredana’s side, and both of them had a close distance as if they were whispering or talking about something secret, and they looked intimate especially looked from the outside of the car.
“Okay,” Charles pulled the sleeve out from the gap. He smiled and said, “Do I have to compensate you for a coat?”
Loredana said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter.”
She got out of the car after finished speaking.
However, she saw a man standing in front of the door with a fierce look when she turned around.
Loredana was speechless.
“What are you doing?” His voice sounded as if it was coming out of his chest and sounded muffled.
“…”
After three seconds of silence, Loredana forced herself to be calm and said, “He just gave me a ride.”
Cormac chuckled. His eyes were dark. He thought he was calm, but then he said fiercely, “If he just gave you a ride, why did he get so close to you? Are my eyes deceiving me? Or did he have other intentions?”
Loredana’ eyelids fluttered after she heard what he said. And she thought he was narrow-minded.
“Cormac…”
“You go inside.” He interrupted what Loredana was trying to explain to him.
Loredana’ heart did a flip, and she stepped into the hotel with worry.
“Mr. White, get out of the car. Let’s have a chat.” His voice sounded very calm, although he only looked calm on the surface.
Charles got out of the car with the help of Tom. And then Cormac didn’t look at him and walked towards the green area outside the hotel. And Charles followed him.
“Mr. Mendelsohn, what do you want to talk to me about?”
Cormac abruptly stopped in his tracks. He turned around and lifted Charles’ collar so hard that Charles’ body left the wheelchair.
“You didn’t understand my warning, did you?”
Charles’s neck was squeezed by Cormac. Then he said in a choking voice, “I didn’t do that. I think Mr.
Mendelsohn must have misunderstood me. I only met Miss Flores to ask her about some issues.”
Cormac smiled coldly, looking clearly not convinced by what he said. Although Loredana had no other intentions towards Charles, Charles’ intentions were very obvious.
“I think if Miss Flores would just say what happened before, then everything would be clear. And we don’t have to take the time and effort to investigate something that happened so long ago. And it’s not that easy to investigate it…”
Cormac increased the force of his hands. Then he leaned down slightly, looking condescending and aggressive, “I am interested in Victoria’s stories, but I will never force her to say anything she doesn’t want to say. Since you’ve touched my bottom line, this is the end of our cooperation. Then we will each investigate the matter separately according to our abilities.”
Cormac finished his words and let go of his hand, then Charles fell into the wheelchair, shaking it a few times. The wheelchair looked like it was going to fall apart.
Charles said reluctantly, “Mr. Mendelsohn, have you ever thought about how much you think we could find out if the past is deliberately concealed? Or how much time would it take us to get to the bottom of this?”
Cormac stopped walking as he coldly curled his lips, “So what if you can’t find out?”
He was different from Charles, who wanted to find out what happened before because he wanted to avenge his adoptive father’s finger being cut off, but Cormac was only interested in Victoria.
Cormac wanted to know why she hid her last name. Didn’t Jayden know about that?
He knew Victoria must have a secret. Although he wanted to know her secret, he would not force Loredana to tell him about it.
In fact, he was afraid to know the truth about that secret inside, for he felt that Loredana’ change of attitude towards him was related to that secret.
He knew that a secret that could make her change her attitude must not be simple. And he was afraid he was involved in the truth.
He was very conflicted, for he wanted to know the truth, but he was afraid to find out.
In the hotel, as his grandmother came to visit him, Armand arranged a dinner party to welcome her grandmother. He had called everyone together and reserved the largest private room in the hotel.
Everyone was there, but only Cormac was not there.
Loredana was holding her daughter. She stroked her hair for a while to hide her anxiety, for she didn’t know if Cormac would have any conflict with Charles.
“Let me introduce you all. This is my grandmother. She’s the grandmother who sacrificed everything to raise me.” Armand introduced his grandmother grandly.
His grandmother did not cooperate with him and said, “Who doesn’t know that I am your grandmother?
Do you need to introduce me to everyone? We all know each other here. You told me that you were getting married at the end of the year, so where is your girlfriend?”
Armand’s face stiffened, and he looked instantly depressed and upset.
His grandmother could not say anything to him without asking him where his girlfriend was, as if she were possessed. And she also asked him if he would definitely get married by the end of the year.
