She heard footsteps, and as she turned around, she found that Cormac was standing at the other end of the corridor, his suit crumpled from sitting for too long, but it did not affect his excellent looks, but added some charm of a mature man instead.
Loredana didn’t know what was happening to her as she felt heavy-hearted.
“Who called?” His tone and expression were so cold as if she was talking to a stranger.
“It was Boyce, he informed me that Ms. Leslie was fine and that Sampson was not dead,” Loredana said as she frowned.
He turned around as he hummed faintly.
“Cormac.”
Loredana stopped him.
He came to a halt, but he did not return his gaze, nor did he inquire as to what was going on. He was simply waiting for her to speak.
“I heard Boyce says that your shooting skill was so excellent that you have the potential to kill him in one shot, why…” Loredana tightened her fists.
“I made a mistake. I wanted him to die.” He explained nonchalantly.
His shooting skill was excellent, but when he saw Sampson strangling Loredana, he panicked and missed by two millimetres.
Loredana took a slow and deliberate look behind him “Are you upset? Is that I irritated you in some way?”
Cormac’s eyes were slightly dropping and his long and thick eyelashes covered his emotions. He was silent for a fraction of a second. “No.”
“So, why are you…”
“I’m upset with myself.”
He interrupted Loredana without waiting for her to finish.
Loredana approached him and put her arms around his waist. She tilted her head and murmured calmly, “You have a habit of self-mutilating, do you? Why are you upset with yourself?”
His eyelids twitched as he looked into her beautiful eyes and teased himself, “I’ve never been this clumsy before.”
Loredana was shocked inexplicably as she sensed Cormac’s grief.
She couldn’t help but embrace him firmly and put her entire face near to his heart. As she saw Cormac being like this, she felt nervous and afraid as he didn’t how to console him or why he was in such a bad mood.
“Was it me who made you feel bad?” She was agitated and at a loss for words.
Cormac’s lips were pressed together tightly.
Sampson had a phrase in his mind that Loredana was in a relationship with him for the sake of the two children since he had always understood that Loredana had suddenly accepted him was due to external factors.
He’d been purposefully ignoring it and not thinking about it.
But, when he heard others said it, he was uncomfortable with that.
He’d never felt so frustrated in his life at this age.
Like now, when Loredana approached him, he wondered whether she was also forcing herself for the sake of her two children.
Loredana was really not used to him being in this status. She was used to his nagging and closeness, but he was so cold to her that she was scared.
“What’s the matter with you, can you talk to me?” She wrapped her arms around his neck and noticed her unease in his pupils.
“Do you believe a person would do something they dislike for the sake of their child?”
Loredana paused for a moment, then immediately responded to what he meant by saying this.
“Did you take his words personally?”
He kept silent as if he agreed by default.
Loredana said solemnly, “No.”
“I, too, don’t want to admit it, but the fact is that I have a crush on you and kind of like you.” Was true as she didn’t want to fool him, nor did she want to deceive herself. “If you want to ask me how much I like, how much I love, I don’t know, but at least I get used to having you by my side, and go through life like an ordinary husband and wife with you.”
Cormac dim eyes sparkled with brightness. “Really?”
Loredana coldly said, “No.” She let go of him and wanted to leave after saying that.
Cormac seized her wrist and shoved her against the hallway wall with his backhand and supported himself up against the wall with one hand, “No, you said it, you mean it, you must keep your words.” “Who should I do that?” Loredana cocked her head and looked so arrogant.
“Well-” he dragged the last letter purposely which sound tantalizing as he grinned softly, “Because you are my wife.”
His remarks were followed by a kiss on her lips.
Loredana tensed and remained still.
He kissed her delicate neck, and eventually her collarbone. He nipped her gently, without causing her pain and said vaguely, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t love, I will make you love me.”
At that moment, the words that came out of her mind was an arrogant egomaniac.
However, he was very charming by behaving like that.
At the moment, it was time for the bodyguard guarding the lift entrance to change his post. A rustling noise accompanied by the sound of talking, “It’s really cold outside and it’s warm inside…” The man’s words came to an abrupt halt halfway.
The person who spoke, with an unconscious glance, saw Cormac in the corridor …
Then, he forgot what he wanted to say.
The other three people wondered what he was looking at and their eyes went straight, probably because they were curious so they all reached out their heads to look towards the direction where the man was looking at, however..
Loredana seemed to sense someone, and she nudged Cormac.
“Hmm?”
Loredana whispered, “Did someone just talk?”
Cormac turned his head without hesitation.
They did not expect Cormac to suddenly turn his head and did not know how to react for a moment. They were all dumbfounded and afraid that he would get angry. They wanted to explain that they did not mean to look, but they did not know how to start the conversation.
Loredana’ face turned red, like a blazing fire. She lowered her head and pulled the corner of Cormac’s coat.
This was too humiliating.
He lowered his head and saw Loredana’ red face, he hugged her in his arms and said in a deep voice, “Turn all your heads away.”
