Chapter 138 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

Loredana denied, “No.”

Cormac said, “Okay, then come on.”

Loredana lowered her head and whispered, “We are not going the same way…”

Cormac saw her ears turn red. Was she shy?

What was she ashamed of?

Why was she awkward?

Suddenly he remembered that she kissed him last night.

Cormac grabbed her by the waist, snaking his arms around it and leaned closer to her lips, “You should kiss me a few times more. If you get used to it you won’t feel so embarrassed.”

Loredana was dumbfounded.

This man…

“Let’s go quickly.” Loredana regretted it very much. If she had gotten into the car quicker, she would not have been teased by him.

Cormac smiled, letting go of her and getting into the driving seat.

When the car drove to the intersection, a dark shadow suddenly sprang out and stood in front of the car.

Cormac stepped on the brake in time and didn’t hit the person who suddenly appeared.

Sampson stood in front of the car. His gaze paused on Loredana for a moment. Sure enough, she and

Cormac were together again.

Even with him concealing the truth that he found out this year, he still failed to prevent her and Cormac from getting back together.

He looked sad, “I want to talk to you.”

Loredana was not prepared to see him appear so suddenly.

Up till now, Loredana had been deliberately evading thinking or asking about that matter.

His appearance told her that what she was trying to not think about did actually happen and the brotherly Sampson in her mind had changed.

He had become someone she couldn’t even recognize.

He even scared her.

“Get out of the way.” Cormac’s eyes were gloomy and his tone was cold enough to shatter glass.

Sampson did not back down, but stared at Loredana, “Lola, how many years have we known each other? I admit it, this time it was my fault. I am really sorry to you, but in all fairness, I did treat you well before.”

“When I met you, you were a teenage girl. You acted brave and strong for your brother, your mother.

You were so sensible for your age that it made people distressed. Do you remember?”

Loredana clasped her hand tightly and held her breath, no moving in her place. In the past, there were only injuries and pain. Her brother’s death was a wound that never healed.

“Later you returned here to get married. Do you know why I came back here? Because of you.” He smiled bitterly, “Later you got divorced and had a car accident. I took you away then. Do you remember those dark days? When you were trying to keep your children safe, when you were going through all that pain, who was there beside you all that time? Who helped you take care of your mother and took care of you?”

He recounted the bits and pieces of the times he had spent with her before, trying to tell her that he sincerely cared for her and liked her.

He couldn’t make her love him, but ended up making her hate him.

“You really just hate me? Is there no affection for me in your heart?”

“Stop it.” Loredana closed her eyes. She couldn’t deny what he was saying.

He had hurt her but she couldn’t deny the good he had done for her in the past and how nice he had been to her.

She trembled uncontrollably, “What do you want to say? Just say it.”

Now they had come to where they were today, there was no going back to the past.

What he said was just to reawaken her emotional affection towards him.

He was once kind to her.

Sampson smiled. He knew that as long as Loredana agreed to his request, everything between them would disappear like smoke.

But there was no way back. None at all.

“Let the Herbert family go.”

Loredana frowned. Where did that come from?

“What do you mean?” Loredana was puzzled.

Sampson looked at Cormac sneered, “You don’t know, but he does.”

Cormac’s thoughts were trapped in Sampson’s words. Thinking about it carefully, even though he was destined to be with Loredana, he had only heard about her past and never participated in any of it.

He had always avoided knowing about her past, what had she experienced and what kind of men she met.

At this moment, he had the urge to know.

He leaned back and put his elbow on the car window casually. Sampson’s actions made him feel very disdainful, “What is this? You dare to do things but don’t dare to take the responsibility? And now you are using these methods to survive?”

“I am willing to take all the responsibility. Let Maria go and let the Herbert family go. You did that to her;

do you not feel guilty?”

Sampson’s hands hanging besides his body clenched into fists.

In his cognition, Cormac was not a good person, he didn’t show any mercy to the woman who was once with him.

Loredana was confused. What happened?

Why didn’t she know anything?

Cormac sneered and didn’t respond to Sampson’s words.

His lack of even humane empathy towards her was because she had done things to wipe away his affection for her again and again.

This time she had really crossed the line.

Maybe some people can tolerate that, but some cannot!

Loredana frowned and couldn’t stop herself from asking, “What the hell is going on?”

Sampson asked her to look at the news headlines.

In order to understand the confusion, Loredana took out her cellphone to browse through the news of the past two days. It was all about Samuel’s kidnapping.

All the guns pointed at the Herbert family, saying that they were bullies.

Loredana instantly sorted the details of the matter.

That day Samuel said that Cormac had asked him to let themselves be deliberately taken away.

It turned out to be drama.

Now the reputation of the Herbert family was damaged, so Sampson came to ask her to make Cormac let the Herbert family off the hook.

Seriously, she hadn’t expected Cormac to do this.

She was confused.

“Lola…”

Loredana opened the car door to step out. Cormac grabbed her hand, seemingly not wanting her to get out. Loredana smiled at him, “I’ll just say a few words to him.”

Cormac stared at her for a couple seconds, and then slowly let go of her hand.

Loredana got off the car and walked up to Sampson. She looked at his face that was suddenly so strange to her. She had known him for long, but she didn’t know his heart at all.

“Did you change? Or did I never know you?” Unknowingly, her eyes turned red, “You must think that I am ruthless. You have known me for so long and have taken care of me, but I still don’t want to accept you… Actually, I have thought about being with you and you don’t know this but your mother came to find me. She thinks we are not suitable for each other and doesn’t want me to be with you. Your sister was very hostile to me. So, even if I promised you, we will still be separated by a lot.”

Her misty eyes were disappointing him, “I’m telling you this, not to explain, but so that you don’t think I am a cruel and unrighteous person. Let’s be strangers when we meet again in the future. I also think, we should part ways with good impression of each other in our hearts, after all, we did exist in each other’s world.”

Sampson frowned; his heart was extremely flustered. His mother had looked for her?

“So, you don’t dislike me, it’s just because of my sister and mother…”

“No.” Loredana interrupted him, “I don’t like you. If you didn’t have your mother and sister, I would have agreed to try to be with you. But it would have been just to repay you for being kind to me. I don’t like you, let alone love you.”

She didn’t like him and she knew it very well.

The hope was lost and Sampson felt miserable.

“I promise you.” Loredana made the decision.

After speaking, she turned around.

“Wait…” Sampson stopped her, “Do you remember…”

“Stop talking.” Loredana interrupted him because he just wanted to talk about the past again.

She didn’t want to listen to him anymore, everything ended here. There was nothing more to talk about.

Sampson had wanted to tell her the truth impulsively, but he calmed down after being interrupted and looked at Cormac whose lips were curled up in a mocking and sarcastic smile.

“Cormac, you are no better than me.” To have one’s own blood in front of him but to not know… how sad was that?
