Chapter 208 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

She pushed him away and snapped, “Did you investigate me?”

Only a few people knew about this matter. How did Cormac know it?

This matter was a pain in her heart that she could never dare to talk about, and also it was the embarrassment and humiliation that she was never willing to talk about.

It was also a secret at the bottom of her heart that couldn’t be exposed.

Cormac had to take a step back by her push. Standing two steps from her, he noticed her panic, loss, shame, and rejection.

“In that years, your mother and younger brother had a car accident. You needed money, so someone introduced you…”

“Stop it!” Loredana interrupted him, pushing him away like crazy. “Go! Go away! I don’t want to listen to you!”

Cormac grabbed her restless hands. “You sold yourself to a man just for money to save your mother and brother.”

She was ashamed and hesitant at a loss. She even wanted to hide from him. She felt as if she was stripped and standing in front of him naked. As if the erotic scene and the passionate sex were disclosed to present to him, he was watching and mocking her.

She was trembling all over and couldn’t even utter a complete sentence. “Are you happy now? Are you satisfied now? Do you have a great sense of achievement to tear open my scar and enjoy watching me?”

Time had stopped.

Loredana Flores stood there and was wobbling as if she was about to collapse.

Cormac Mendelsohn stared her in the eyes desperately and spoke word by word.

“That night, it was me.”

She was stunned by Cormac’s remarks and was thrown into confusion as if she had gotten struck by lightning.

She stood rooted to the ground.

“What…What did you say?”

“How can it be, how can it be, how can it be you?” She said, covering her face with her hands while weeping and laughing at the same time.

It was unbelievable, she walked back and forth, thinking how could that be.

“Back then Sampson Herbert investigated for me, he said… he said it was a local that night, how could it be you?” Her leg accidentally knocked the bed edge, tumbled onto the bed, and rubbed her hair vigorously.

Cormac seized her self-injury-like scratching hand, held her chin, and forced her to look at him, “What did you say? You’ve investigated it?”

There were still remnants of tears in her eyes.

She looked at him with fear and anxiety, her mouth was like holding an ice cube in it, she whimpered for quite a long time but couldn’t get the words out, she pulled out her hand that Cormac had clutched, her fingers swept over his cheek, slid to his neck, along his collar, and touched his shoulder, “I suspected it when I discovered bite marks on your shoulder. So I requested Sampson to assist me to investigate, and he subsequently informed me… that night was a local.”

She gradually calmed down; could it be that her original thoughts were correct and Sampson had lied to her?

Sampson had always been there for her, taking care of her and assisting her, and had frequently stated that Samuel Flores and Simona Flores are pathetic without a father.

But, in reality, had he already known the truth all along but was keeping it from her?

“Did he lie to me?” she said, raising her gaze.

Cormac reached out to her and covered the back of her hand with his warm pal. He held her icy hands tight by wrapping them up with his hands.

At this time, his emotions were indescribable; All the words that he wanted to say turned into a kiss that deeply covered her lips.

Loredana was still in a dreamlike state where everything was so blurry and surreal.

Like a bubble in an illusion which burst after a poke.

But the heat from him who stood very close to her was so real and so intense.

“Have you looked into it?”

She wondered whether this was a falsehood he made up to comfort her.

“No need to investigate, I know it’s you,” Cormac said as he grabbed her hand in his palm and softly kneaded it.

He had no idea where the strange familiarity with her came from until he discovered the truth.

It was later revealed that there was a reason for all of this.

Loredana withdrew her hand, his palm abruptly became empty, which makes him felt uneasy, and he gazed up at her.

Loredana gazed at him, “I don’t want to make a mistake.”

When she calmed down, she was extraordinary calm; this was not a simple thing; It was about the father of her kid.

Cormac rubbed the corners of her eyes; she’d lost weight again, and her skin was chilly, he can imagine how much she’d endured.

“How do you believe I’m aware of this?” Cormac sat at the bedside, snatched her into his arms, stroked his hand on her shoulder, and informed her about Jayden Mendelsohn who performed the paternity test behind her back.

So, there is no question that Samuel and Simona are his children.

Loredana closed her eyes slowly.

She still felt as though she were dreaming.

“Pinch me.”

Cormac noticed the scar on her forehead when he dropped his gaze. The scar was not particularly visible and was hard to be noticed due to a layer of foundation covering them up. He lovingly caressed the scar. He kept lingering and caressing lightly and gently, with a hint of uncontrollable quivering.

His eyes were red. The redness in his eyes was caused by her leaving as well as the grief that resulted from him being not able to discover and protect her in time.

He cared so much about her, he felt protective of her. She had never seen such a vivid, profound, sympathetic look on his face, he used to treat her well, but always with reservations, she had never opened her mind, but now things changed a bit.

“What brings you here?” Cormac inquired.

According to Bess, Sampson was bringing her to Sichuan Province.

Why would he show up here and be involved in something with Charles White?

What had happened all this time?

And what had she encountered?

She couldn’t help but shudder as she recalled the days when she was confined by Sampson; even after encountering countless life-and-death situations, she still had a lingering fear at that moment.

He kept comforting her by massaging her slim back with his warm and wide palm.

Loredana was finally able to talk calmly about her experiences at this time, “I was taken here by Sampson and after I fled, it was Charles who saved me.”

She didn’t say anything about the danger encountered.

Cormac could tell that she must be concealing something since the location where she was imprisoned alone was so startling. He grasped her slim waist and lie her down. Just like this, they lie across the bed. They did not cover themselves up, he stayed close to her, with his own temperature, to warm her up.

Cormac finally fell asleep holding her in this position after some time.

Loredana turned around and watched him dead-asleep. She noticed there were dark circles under his eyes and she couldn’t help but stretch out her hand. Her fingertips barely brushed across his skin, and he grasped her hand with his eyes closed. He put her fingers on his lips and kissed it, “Stay with me for a while.”

He hadn’t gotten a good night’s sleep since she was not around, and now that she was in his arms, he felt at ease.

“Ok,” She said.

Loredana closed her eyes too.

Loredana had not slept well either throughout this time and at this point amid ‘the tranquility of life,’ she genuinely felt drowsy.

Loredana had no idea when she fell asleep, all she knew that in her dreams, there was always someone kissing her neck, hair, cheeks, the tip of her nose, lips…

They stayed in the room for a day, with Boyce keeping watch outside to ensure no one bothering them.

Loredana awoke and found that a pair of deep eyes gazed at her.

She was then wide awake.

“You’re awake, are you hungry?” Cormac gently brushed the layers of hair on her brow.

Loredana nodded as she was hungry.

“Let’s go to the other room, Samuel, and Simona would be delighted to meet you…”
