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 over to interrupt the confrontation between Loredana and Cormac.
Helen held Cormac and said, “Cormac.”
She shook her head at Cormac, with red eyes, looking innocent and wronged, “Cormac, I just couldn’t standstill. Maybe it’s because the heels I wear are too high. It has nothing to do with Ms. Flores.” She tried her best to defend Loredana.
Cormac looked down at Helen’s high heels, which were indeed was so high. But he saw Loredana pushed Helen himself. What was going on?
“Cormac, I might have twisted my foot just now, it hurts.” Helen’s beautiful face wrinkled, which looked so cute.
Cormac stretched out his hand to put her messy hair behind her ears.
Cormac couldn’t help thinking that Helen was the one always being at his side without asking for anything in return, without making any trouble. When he was poisoned and needed a woman, she sacrificed herself without hesitation. Even after they had sex, she still didn’t ask for marriage. Instead, she still stayed quietly by his side. It was also at that moment, Cormac wanted to marry her. He didn’t love her. He had never loved any woman. He didn’t believe in love. His father married another woman after his mother died within one month. There was no love in the world. Love was a ridiculous illusion.
“Are you stupid?” He asked Helen.
Helen slightly snuggled into his arms, “As long as I can be with you, I am willing to do anything. I don’t think I’m stupid, I just feel very happy.”
Loredana didn’t want to look at them. She turned and walked towards the gate.
Looking at Loredana’ back, Helen smiled secretly. Helen was thinking, Loredana would never have the chance to be with Cormac alone anymore after what happened.
Helen didn’t know that Cormac saw her expression. Cormac didn’t say anything, but turned and entered the room.
Helen walked quickly to follow, “Cormac……”
Cormac turned his head and glanced at her lightly. He looked at her high heels and said meaningfully,
“Don’t wear shoes that are too high in the future. What if you fall?”
After speaking, he walked towards the study, and when he reached the door, he stopped, “I am busy today. You can leave now.”
Before Helen could react, the door of the study was closed.
Helen stood there, looking down at the high heels on her feet. What did Cormac mean? Did he care about her? But it seemed that Cormac meant something else.
Helen stepped forward and wanted to knock on the door, but Coral stopped her, “Didn’t the young master tell you to go back?”
Helen knew that Coral didn’t like her.
She tried hard to please Coral, but it didn’t work.
Coral was not an ordinary maid, but the one who took care of Cormac since he was young. Cormac respected her a lot.
“Cormac, I just think that he seems to be in a bad mood. I want to accompany him more…”
“Ms. Flores would accompany him if needed. Ms. White, please don’t bother to come in the future, lest people would say that you are a mistress, which would harm Ms. White’s reputation.”
Coral didn’t like Helen even before Cormac married Loredana.
Now Cormac had already married Loredana, if Helen still came a lot and tried to get close to Cormac, she would be considered as mistress in Coral’s eyes.
No one liked mistress, especially old people like Coral.
“Cormac loves me. Marrying Loredana is not what he wants. You are the one who took care of him when he grows up. Don’t you want him to be happy?” Helen tried her best not to shout at Coral. Coral was just a maid. How dared she was to tell her what to do!
“I think Madam had her reason to arrange the marriage for the young master at that time. The young master is already married. Is Ms. White going to get involved in other people’s marriages and be a mistress?”
Even though what Coral said was harsh, she still showed good courtesy. She stepped forward and made a please gesture, “Ms. White, please.”
Helen clenched her hands tightly at the sides. She was trembling with anger, but she couldn’t do anything but leave.
Coral immediately closed the door once Helen walked out.
Helen’s body was frozen out of surprise. She slowly turned around and looked at the closed door, her expression changed. She got so angry that couldn’t even control her expression anymore.
At the same time, Cormac stood in front of the window, looking at the expression that Helen had never shown in front of him. His eyes narrowed slightly.
“Master, is Ms. Flores coming back for lunch?” Loredana didn’t come back last night and left as soon as she came back today. Coral didn’t like it very much. Coral thought that Loredana already married
Cormac, became a wife, then Loredana should act like one. What was more, it was not good that
Loredana didn’t stay at home at night, especially which they just got married.
Cormac thought about her entering the hospital before, and turned his head, “She is not well, lunch…”
Cormac didn’t know whether she would be back at noon.
Now he realized that he didn’t even have her phone number.
Coral sighed. What happened to the people these days? Couples were like strangers. They didn’t sleep together, nor know anything about each other after getting married.
“I don’t know why Madam decided to set up this marriage for you in the first place.” Coral sighed.
Since Madam’s death, Cormac moved out and rarely went back.
Coral thought that Madam must have her reason to set up the marriage for Cormac.
But now she got more and more confused.
Cormac’s expression got serious suddenly, he said, “I’ll look for her.”
Coral, “…”
Coral became even more melancholy. Cormac and Loredana were not like a couple, more like strangers.
Cormac picked up the jacket on the back of the sofa, put it on, and went out with the car key.
On the way to the hospital in the car, Cormac thought of something and gave Abbott a call.
“The contract for the land in Repulse Bay, please tidy it up and send it to me.”
When Loredana arrived at the hospital, Sampson was sitting along the corridor outside the patient’s room with both his hands on either knee. He was bent forward slightly and deep in his thoughts. He didn’t even realize it when Loredana was standing beside him.
“What are you thinking of?”
Sampson raised his head and held back his emotions when he saw Loredana. He looked towards the patient’s room and said, “Your mother’s emotions aren’t stable.”
