When Loredana was eight years old, her father left the family for his mistress, leaving them to fend for themselves abroad. Loredana and her mother, Maxina, worked multiple jobs to make ends meet. Tragedy struck when an accident claimed her little brother’s life and left her mother severely injured. Desperate to cover the hospital bills, Loredana resorted to sacrificing herself, losing her innocence in the process.
Loredana’s father returned with what he deemed “good news”: a proposal to marry Loredana into the wealthy Mendelsohn family. Despite knowing it was a ploy—given the groom’s paralysis and the inevitable unhappiness that awaited—both Loredana and Maxina understood the ulterior motives behind the offer. Her father sought personal gain at the expense of his daughter’s well-being.
Despite the circumstances, Loredana agreed to the marriage, having struck a silent agreement with her father solely for her mother’s sake.
Suddenly, Cormac felt extreme anger. Cormac couldn’t help feeling angry. But he couldn’t understand why would she be angry this much. Cormac said coldly, “What are you doing here?!” Hearing that, even though Loredana didn’t know Cormac for so long, she still immediately realized who was talking. She turned her head. She was right. Cormac…
He paused for a few seconds, and then he squeezed her cheek. He said, “We are already married. And you still fall in love with another man. This is cheating!” Loredana thought Cormac was being inexplicable. Wasn’t he also being together with Helen? Besides, she and Sampson were just friends, why would Cormac get bothered…
Loredana and Cormac stared at each other and none of them gave in. “If you pushed her, you have to apologize!” His tone was still cold, but less harsh. It seemed that he got shocked by her firm expression. “Cormac, I’m okay, it’s because I’m not being careful. It’s not Ms. Flores’ fault.” Helen hurried…
Loredana had mentally prepared herself, “Okay, you can go back to rest. I’ll look after her.” Sampson glanced at her abdomen and said, “You also need to rest.” “Rest assured that I’ll take good care of myself.” Loredana smiled calmly at him. Sampson was silent for a moment and then nodded, “Call me if you…
Cormac carried Loredana into the room and placed her on the bed. Just as he was standing up, Loredana suddenly held him down by the collar. “Mom, I’m sorry, don’t abandon me…” Cormac was stunned; he looked down at her hands which were holding onto his collar. His tender gaze fell on her face and…
Loredana stood at the doorway and stared at Helen. Helen became uneasy under her glare and looked at Loredana’ cell phone but couldn’t see anything from that distance. She also couldn’t do anything in front of Cormac other than calmly ask, “Why is Ms. Flores looking at me that way?” Loredana’ thoughts were dragged out…
He scoffed, “That man who impregnated you?” The fear and shame were suddenly exposed with all their gore. She didn’t want to talk about how she became pregnant. But the cold manner which Cormac said ripped her heart open painfully. She was shattered but she maintained a strong front, “Of course, I love the father…
Loredana let out a long sigh after exiting the room. She never expected to see him so soon after he left the house that morning. The peak business period passed and the manager agreed for Loredana to leave. She changed out of her work attire and just walked out of the restaurant when she saw…
“That must be it. What else could it be?” Annabelle agreed with Beulah’s guess and she sat on the sofa in frustration, “If we had known earlier, then we didn’t need Loredana to come back.” And she could marry Cormac. Garrett was also upset and this issue was beyond his expectations. Initially, he wanted to…
“That’s great.” The manager smiled. After the manager’s leaving, Helen deliberately ignored Loredana and went back to the tea room to make coffee. Loredana frowned, thinking, ‘Why this woman is so childish? Does Helen think that I will be bothered by such tiny tricks?’ “Ms. White, if you’re busy, I’ll go to my hubby’s office…
