He was still slumbering at the moment.
She thought of something but was then relieved. If he was awake, how embarrassing would it be?
She lifted the blanket and wanted to leave here before Cormac waked up. She got off the ground with her bare feet and when she turned to cover him with the blanket, she inadvertently noticed something on his shoulder.
Her breathing instantly paused.
How came he had bite marks on his shoulder?
Loredana’s mind was bewildered yet clear. A shocking thought exploded in her mind!
She had been translating documents for Cormac at the company during this period and knew that the new project was being carried out in A Country. Moreover, the project was carried out in YL City, the place where she had been living for eight years when she was abroad last time.
These were not the most important things.
What was important was that at the night where she prostituted herself to get the money for the surgery of her brother and mother, she bit the man because she felt too painful as it was her first time. As requested by the woman who introduced her to this way of getting money, no lights could be turned on in the house, so the house was dark from the time she entered.
She could not see the man’s appearance. But according to the situation at that time, the location where she bit the man was his right shoulder.
Was it a coincidence?
She could not help but take a step backwards.
If it was a coincidence, how could it be so coincidental?
Furthermore, one thing she knew from the translated documents was that Cormac had gone to A Country two months ago.
If it was true, then…
Her hand could not help but cover her belly.
Her child was his?
After this thought popped out, Loredana was also shocked.
Cormac felt that someone was obviously staring at him. What was this woman doing?
He pretended to just wake up and slowly opened his eyes. He thought Loredana was peeking at him while he was sleeping but what he saw was a pair of eyes that blurred with tears.
He was stunned. She was crying.
Cormac woke up too suddenly so Loredana did not have time to dodge. She turned her face in a panic and quickly ran out of the room.
Her movement was too fast and this affected the injury on her knee. She did not care about the pain but directly ran into the room and locked the door. She leaned against the door panel. Her mood was still in a state of shock.
It took a long time before she calmed down a bit.
Although all signs indicated that the person that night might be Cormac, there was still a chance that it was only a coincidence.
It must be this way, it must be a coincidence.
No, it could not be true.
She slowly regained her calmness and went to the bathroom to have a shower and change clothes.
She then re-bandaged the wound on her knee.
Upstairs, Cormac was in a trance for several seconds. Just now, the woman was…crying?
What was she crying for? Why did she run?
He sat up and pressed his eyebrows. Although he was tricked last night, he did not do anything to her, why did she show that kind of expression?
Thinking about what happened last night, his eyes darkened. He grabbed his phone on the table and made a call to Abbott, “I don’t want to see the Flores Group again!”
“Understood.” Abbott could roughly guess what happened at the Flores family last night and therefore, he knew Cormac was bound to give an order like this.
After hanging up the phone, Cormac threw his phone aside. When he lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed, he realized his entire body was only left with a pair of underwear.
Last night…he closed his eyes.
It seemed to be Loredana who helped him to change clothes while he was dazzled.
That woman…
Cormac always felt that she was like a mystery because when he discovered something, there was still another thing about her to be revealed.
Knock knock…
Right after the sound of the knock, Coral’s voice sounded, “Young master, are you awake? Breakfast is ready.”
Cormac answered then got out of bed to wash and have a shower. He put on clean clothes and went downstairs.
Loredana was already in the dining room. She had changed her clothes and her expression was calm as if nothing had happened which kinda meant that what he saw was all an illusion.
His pace slowed down slightly. He walked downstairs in his slippers step by step.
Loredana put a bowl of porridge with a light taste in front of him, “Eat something that has a light taste in the morning, it’s good for your stomach.”
Cormac sat down. He showed respect to her and sent a spoonful of porridge in his mouth. It was indeed light as it had little taste only.
Loredana lowered her head, “I was indeed too careless last night, I didn’t expect that Beulah would do something like that.”
Cormac raised his eyes and grinned into a smile. His bright and white teeth were eye-catching, “I’ve seen many shameless people but the people who can be as shameless as the members of the Flores family are very rare.”
This sentence meant that he scolded all the people by the surname of Flores.
Loredana lowered her head. Her surname was also surnamed, Flores.
“Hmm…I want to take a leave of absence.” Loredana raised her head. She had to go to the hospital as she had not gone to see her mother in the hospital for the past few days.
Also, she had to cash that cheque and saved it on her bank card. Her mother might need money for a long time so the money would be very crucial to her.
Besides, the medical bill that Sampson helped her to settle last time and the previous ones had to be returned to him.
Cormac had the porridge and asked indifferently without raising his head, “Anything happened?”
Loredana nodded, “I have to go and see my mother.”
Cormac gave a light um which meant that he agreed.
After breakfast, Cormac went to the company as usual. Loredana helped Coral to clean up the table.
Coral grabbed the bowl from Loredana’s hand, “Don’t need to help me, you go and rest.”
What?
Rest in the morning?
Coral glanced at her and said in a serious tone, “You have married into the Mendelsohn family already. Last night…you’re a legitimate wife; don’t let the mistress have a chance to take advantage of the situation.”
Loredana flushed. What was Coral thinking?
Even though she and Cormac slept in the same room last night, nothing had happened.
Coral definitely would not believe it.
Loredana nodded helplessly.
Coral still supported Loredana although she was unhappy with Loredana’s behaviour before.
“I think the young master may not sincerely like Ms. White. Keep it up, you can definitely be adored by the young master.”
Loredana frowned, “How do you know that Cormac doesn’t sincerely like Helen?”
“Ms. White has followed the young master for a long time but the young master does not fall in love with her. It was two months ago that after they returned from overseas, the young master suddenly admitted her identity. Until now I still can’t figure out why, how come he suddenly falls in love with her?”
Coral still could not figure out what was the reason.
