Chapter 22 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

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 this much?

“I never get involved with your personal life, and please don’t interfere with my private…” Before she could finish her words, her lips were suddenly blocked. She had so much to say, but she could no longer speak.

“Hmm…” Loredana reacted and pushed him.

At the same time, Cormac got back his sense, he took a step back himself.

Cormac stared at Loredana incredulously! What did he do just now? Helen was so active; he didn’t even have the desire to get close to her. But when he saw Loredana talking, suddenly he lost his mind and kissed her. He felt lost control just now.

Besides that night, Loredana had never had such intimate behavior. Now she felt shame and shocked by what he did.

“You, how dare you!” Loredana felt that she had been violated. Indeed, she sold her body once, but she was not a slut that any man could kiss or hug. How dared was he!

Cormac turned his back to her, “You are my wife.” So he could do anything intimate to her.

Loredana’ eyes widened, what he said was ridiculous!

“We are not husband and wife. It is just a deal!” Loredana’ voice was shaking. She was afraid of having such close contact with men. That night was already her nightmare! She rejected intimacy in front of any man after that night.

Loredana was too angry to notice Cormac’s abnormality. She didn’t notice that he was just pretending to be calm in front of her. If Loredana was calm enough, she would notice that Cormac’s ears were so red after kissing her.

“Even if it’s a deal, you didn’t say that we can’t be intimate in this marriage like other couples.” He slowly turned around and looked at Loredana who was almost lost her mind out of anger.

Cormac frowned, wondering why she would be so angry. His kiss was not poisonous, why would she be so angry after being kissed? Was it possible that she didn’t want any other man to touch her because of Sampson?

He walked to her slowly, “A man who can’t even protect his woman doesn’t deserve your love. He is not worthy of your love.”

Loredana didn’t understand what he said. What did he mean? Was he talking about Sampson?

Just when Loredana was about to explain, Cormac already calmed himself down, walked to the desk, and sat down. He leaned back lazily and recklessly, putting one hand on the table casually. His expression was so calm as if nothing happened just now, “I can give you the land in Repulse Bay, but…” He paused, “It’s not for free.”

Loredana clenched her hands, shaking uncontrollably. She tried her best to calm herself down and ignore what happened just now. After a while, she said calmly, “What do you want?”

Cormac lowered his eyes, his voice was calm and small, “I haven’t thought of it yet. I will tell you once I know what I want.”

Kissing her was probably the most impulsive thing he had done in his life. It was unexpectedly! And his feelings were not under his control at all!

Loredana pursed her lips. It was not easy for her to take back what Garrett own her and her mom. If she could get the power to have a chance to bargain with Garrett, it would be good.

But…

“I won’t let you do anything illegal, and I won’t let you do anything against morals.” Cormac seemed to understand her worries and gave a seducing offer.

After hesitating for a moment, “…Okay.” She had nothing now, so what was she afraid to lose? If she could get back what Garrett own them quickly, she could take her mother to somewhere quiet and beautiful and start enjoying their life.

“I will repeat it one more time. As long as we are married, you can’t cheat on me!” whenever he remembered that Loredana and Sampson were hugging together, he felt extreme anger.

“Me and…”

“You can go out now!” Before she could say anything, Cormac interrupted her. He didn’t want to hear

Loredana talk about her and Sampson. He would feel so annoyed if she shared more.

Loredana moved her lips, but finally turned and left without saying anything.

At the moment when the study door was closed, all the calmness on Cormac’s face disappeared. He rubbed his eyebrows. He was too impulsive just now. Thinking of the very short but impressive kiss, his finger slid on his lips. Somehow he felt that he could still smell her and feel her kiss. He didn’t even notice that while thinking so, his smile was getting bigger and bigger. He knew he shouldn’t, but he loved the feeling so much while kissing her. Her lips were soft, which was slightly similar to Helen’s.

But after that night, he couldn’t have the same feeling towards Helen anymore he had like that night.

Could it be because of his physical reasons that night? He felt weird but couldn’t figure it out.

Loredana didn’t plan to stay after walking out of the study. Maxina was still in the hospital. She had to take care of her. When she just went out, she met Helen who came to the villa just now.

Whenever Helen showed up, she always wore exquisite makeup, well-fitting clothes, being beautiful and dignified.

“You want to leave?” Helen asked with a smile.

“Yeah.” Loredana gave a light hum. She didn’t want to get close to Helen who might look innocent outside but cheeky inside.

“Ms. Flores, you are pregnant with someone else’s child. The reason Cormac would marry you was because his mother asked him to do so. I am the one he loves. I hope you understand and leave him alone. “

What Helen said was straightforward. Of course, Loredana understood what she meant. Loredana knew

Helen was the one Cormac loved. Why would Helen keep mention to her? Was she showing off?

Loredana smiled, “I know who I am. Ms. White doesn’t need to remind me all the time.”

Helen was speechless for a while. She frowned and didn’t expect that Loredana could be so mature at such a young age.

At this moment, she noticed the study door was opening, and she saw a blurred figure. But immediately she knew it was Cormac. Suddenly she got a great idea. She reached out to push Loredana. Loredana was pregnant, and as a mother, she would be more protective of her belly. When Helen was about to touch Loredana, Loredana reflexively pushed back.

“Ah…” Helen was wearing high heels and she fell immediately to the side.

This scene was seen by Cormac who had just walked out of the study, and he stepped over to catch

Helen who was about to fall. Being held so tightly in the arms of Cormac, Helen’s heartbeat was so fast. She took the opportunity to stretch her arms around his neck, she was frightened.

“Cormac …” Helen didn’t say anything more but gave him a frightened expression.

When Loredana came back her sense out of shock, she raised her head and saw Cormac was staring at her. Then she heard Cormac asking, “Why do you do this?”

Just when Loredana wanted to explain, Helen interrupted, shook her head, and said, “I am fine now. It’s not Ms. Flores’ fault.”

Loredana felt that she would be so stupid if she still didn’t understand Helen’s intention. But she didn’t understand why Helen would do so. Her marriage with Cormac was just a deal. Why would Helen bother to frame her? What was Helen afraid of?

Loredana ignored Cormac’s question, and said calmly, “I didn’t do it. Believe it or not, as you wish.” After that, she turned and walked outside. She would not admit what she hadn’t done. She would never allow anyone to hurt her child. If it happened again, she would do the same.

“Stop!”

Loredana stopped, turned around, and saw Cormac walked towards her after letting go of Helen out of his hug. Cormac walked slowly with a cold expression, “Apologize to Helen!”

Loredana didn’t move, but looking back at him stubbornly. “I will not apologize to her!”

Even though at this moment, she was afraid of him, she would never apologize to her for something she didn’t do. She didn’t do anything wrong. Helen pushed her first. She just self-protected herself and reacted instinctively! Why should she apologize?

Cormac stared at Loredana’ face and frowned. He realized that he never looked at her carefully, even when he lost his reason and kissed her. She was relatively thin, with a small face that was as large as her palm. She looked very delicate and pure, and at this moment, her eyes are staring at him stubbornly and firmly.
