Chapter 255 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

In his mind, hiding meant distrust.

Loredana didn’t trust him!

She didn’t even trust him, so how could she love him?

Boyce responded and didn’t dare to say more. It was obvious that Cormac was in a bad mood, and he didn’t dare to persuade him. He was sure that he must have a scale in his mind to be able to weigh this matter.

Cormac wanted to be alone at this time, but thinking of the two children, he decided to go back first.

Boyce went to turn off the car lights.

They went back the way they came.

“I think Ms. Flores may have her reasons for doing this. It’s hard for mother-in-law and daughter-in-

law to get along. Maybe she’s trying to get along with your family.”

Boyce still wanted to persuade him.

This might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Loredana might have gotten close to Victoria for him.

Cormac did not answer. He had his own considerations. From what he knew about Loredana, she was definitely not the type of person who would suck up to others.

“Mr. Mendelsohn, would you like to have a chat with me?” Charles was at the door in his wheelchair and seemed to be waiting for him.

When he saw him and Boyce walking over, he spoke up.

Cormac winked at Boyce and told him to go ahead. He would like to hear what Charles had to say.

Boyce glanced at Charles and stepped into the yard.

Charles turned his wheelchair and walked toward the river. The trickling stream glistened as if stars had fallen and popped up on the river to peer into the world’s landscape.

“Mr. White, what do you want to talk to me about?” Cormac stood by the river with his hands in his pockets, and the river reflected his slender body.

Charles looked at the water, while his hands could not help but clench. He was also a tall man, but now he had to live his life in a wheelchair.

It would be a lie to say that he never felt sad.

No one cared that he was a cripple!

“Mr. Mendelsohn, how about I tell you a story?” Charles tilted his head.

He didn’t like to look up to people, but he had to look up now.

Cormac looked dissatisfied and gave him an indifferent look, “Since you are interested, I am all ears.”

Charles looked at the sky and pondered for a moment, “I’m sure you’ve investigated my identity, right?”

Although he was asking him, his tone was affirmative.

Cormac did not deny it. He did know something about Charles.

He asked Abbott to investigate.

Charles was an orphan and was adopted by Nathan. After Nathan died, he took over the White Group.

He was lucky to meet Nathan.

Otherwise, how could it be so easy for him to have the identity and social status today?

It was not credible to start with nothing. In this world, if a person did not have any background, it was simply impossible for him to succeed overnight.

And at his age, he would not be where he was today.

He found a picture of Nathan from his phone and showed it to Cormac, “This is my adoptive father, Nathan.”

Cormac glanced at it. He wasn’t interested in that, and he just thought Charles must have a purpose for showing it to him.

“Did you notice that he’s missing two fingers?”

His pinky and ring finger had been cut off.

Cormac narrowed his eyes slightly, “What are you trying to say?”

“He wasn’t born with two fingers missing. They were chopped off.”

After being adopted by Nathan, Charles had been following Nathan to learn how to run a business.

Later, when he grew up, he wondered why this man did not marry and have children but adopted him.

According to his social status, even if he had lost two fingers, it was still easy for him to find a woman.

He was sure that many women wanted to marry him.

Later he found out that Nathan did not marry because he always had a woman in his heart.

That woman was Victoria.

Then he got sick. As he was dying, he told Charles that he had one regret in his life, and that was that he had missed the love of his life.

Charles remembered when he grabbed his hand and left his dying wish, “I knew that when she had the baby, we would never be together again. She said she liked girls, and I think she will definitely give birth to a daughter. In the future, I only hope that you will marry her daughter and treat her well. Think of it as making up for my last wish in this life …”

He wasn’t meant to be with Victoria in this life and hoped that his adopted son could marry Victoria’s daughter.

It could also be considered as the renewal of their fate.

The heartbeat detector beeped into a straight line.

Nathan died after leaving these words.

He never understood what Nathan said about Victoria giving birth to a child. And where did the baby she gave birth to go?

After Nathan’s death, he investigated Victoria and learned that she had married Jayden and had never had a child in her life.

“Once, my adoptive father was held captive for six years, and it was then that his fingers were cut off.”

Six years was not short. Why was his adoptive father imprisoned and that person brutally cut off his fingers?

It seemed that someone had deliberately hidden the past, and what he could find out was really limited.

He lured Cormac here because he wanted him to look into this matter.

Nathan raised him and gave him the whole White family. He was grateful to Nathan for raising him, and he wanted to avenge his adoptive father.

But he was alone.

The White family was no ordinary family. The man was able to hold him captive and keep anyone from finding out. It could be imagined how terrifying that person’s strength was.

Even today, he might not be that person’s opponent.

If he guessed correctly, Cormac was most likely born to Victoria.

Of course, he had no proof, and it was still just his guess.

However, now that Cormac was involved, and he didn’t think he could get away with it.

With his strength, it would be soon for him to find out the truth about what happened back then.
