Chapter 82 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

Did he know what this was?

It was his?

“Mr. Mendelsohn, you are in good mood? You carry it with you. Are you preparing for an emergency?”

Chester was about to puke out the wine in his mouth that he just drank.

The Cormac Mendelsohn that was normally indifferent and cold, the president of WY Group, and the celebrity that was often introduced in headlines of Business Channel had the hobby of carrying condoms with him?

What a joke.

What incredible thing that he found out?

Cormac looked like a decent person.

Chester felt like his world was upside down now.

Abbott looked up at the ceiling in silence. When did Cormac develop this habit?

Samuel was only five years old, and now he looked so innocent and naive. Besides, Cormac did go to the bathroom before, so they totally believed the condom belonged to Cormac.

A five-year-old kid could not know what this thing was.

Naturally, they all believed Samuel.

Cormac’s face brightened and then darkened. He looked down at the Durex in Samuel’s hand, “Are you sure it is mine?”

Judging from others’ face, Samuel knew his plot worked. He nodded his head firmly, “You dropped it, and I picked it up for you. Of course it belonged to you.”

They all reached their heads out and waited to see what Cormac was going to do about it. Would he admit it, or would he not?

If he admitted it, it would be so embarrassing. He carried that thing around. Was he preparing to have sex at anytime and anyplace?

Chester felt like his mouth was sore now. He wanted to laugh but could not do it. He could only restrain himself.

The assistant beside him took out his phone and wanted to film this. Abbott was about to stand up and stop him. If words got out, how would it reflect on Cormac?

But as soon as he moved, he was grabbed by Cormac, “Sit down.”

Cormac reached his hand to get the Durex in Samuel’s hand. He held it in his hand and observed it for two seconds before putting it into his pocket, “Thanks.”

“…”

Samuel was feeling weird. Why wasn’t he angry?

It was obvious that his friends were all laughing at him.

Cormac seemed to have detected his confusion.

He bent down and said beside Samuel’s ear, “Someone will pay for this.”

Samuel glared at him. What did he mean by that?

But Cormac had no intention to tell him what he meant by that. Though Samuel played a trick on him, he was not feeling embarrassed. Instead, he was feeling quite good.

He raised his glass which was refilled by Chester before and bottomed it up.

Abbott had no clue about what just happened.

Chester who was sitting beside Cormac was confused too. Cormac was confronted with such an embarrassing scandal. Shouldn’t he be trying to cover it up?

Why did he admit it generously?

Was it because the more one tried to hide, the more one was exposed? Or was it because honest man feared neither light nor dark?

Chester didn’t understand. But he was in no place to ask about it. So he looked at Samuel and said smiling, “Little lad, do you want to stay here and have some food?”

Samuel shook his head and looked at Cormac with confusion all over his eyes. He wondered why he wasn’t angry with him.

He could not figure it out and could only turn around and get out of the private room.

“Samuel…”

Samuel was out for too long, so Loredana came looking for him.

After Samuel left the private room, he saw Loredana crying his name in angst. So he hurried to her side,

“Mummy.”

Hearing his sound, Loredana turned around. Watching her son running to her, she heaved a sigh of relief. She squatted down to welcome her son, who bumped into her arms.

“Where did you go?” Loredana asked seriously.

What if he got lost?

Samuel lowered his head and said slightly, “This restaurant is so big. I got lost.”

Loredana didn’t buy it at all. Samuel’s memory was quite good. He could not have got lost.

“Tell mummy the truth.” Loredana put her hands around Samuel’s face and raised it up to make him look at her.

“There is not a urinal for kids in the bathroom. I am not tall enough for the others. So I waited until a mister helped me. That’s why I was late.”

“Then why didn’t you just tell the truth?”

“It’s not something I am proud of.” Samuel pursed his lips.

He looked shy and embarrassed.

That was just his personality.

Loredana stood up and held his hand, “Come on, let’s go have lunch.”

Dishes were all on table already.

Samuel was a bit distracted, still clinging to what Cormac said.

Someone would pay for him?

Who?

After lunch, Maxina planned to take the kids home. They had been on the flight for too long, which made them tired. Maxina had better take them back and have them washed up. Then they could have a rest.

“I will take them back first, then I will come pick you up.” Theresa said.

“No need. You can head to the shop directly. I will go to the shop by myself later.” LEO planned to set up a branch, which left much work to be done. She was the person in charge, so many things needed to be decided by her.

“Okay then.” Theresa got in the car.

Samuel sat in the car and looked out of the car window. He looked at Loredana who was standing beside

Sampson and heaved a sigh.

If only Sampson was richer and more handsome than Cormac.

“Do you have something to tell me?” Loredana looked at the car driving away.

“We will walk and talk.” Sampson reached his hand out and wanted to hold her hand. But his hand stopped in the air and then was put down.

Knowing Maria was responsible for the car accident, Sampson felt guilty.

He felt guilty for Loredana.

“Do you have something on your mind?” When they were in the car, Sampson wanted to speak but kept silent. When he was having lunch with them, he seemed distracted too. Clearly there was something on his mind.

Sampson smiled. His mind was indeed burdened. One was his beloved woman, and the other one was his sister by blood. His complicated emotions were beyond depictions by words.

“Lola, do you think I am good to you?” Sampson looked at the road before him.

“Yes, I do.” Loredana answered honestly.

Sampson was truly good to her, which she had never doubted.

Sampson went silent for a while, “If, I mean if.”

Loredana smiled. In her memory, Sampson rarely behaved like this, “Just say it.”

Sampson thought about how to speak up for a while, “If, you find out later that I am not that good. Will you hate me then?”

“Of course not.” Loredana didn’t detect the tentative tone in his voice.

“Maybe I worry about personal gains and losses too much.” He smiled bitterly, “What can I do to make you love me?”

Loredana lowered her head and bit her lips. Six years had passed. And it was a long time.

Sampson was no longer the young man in his twenties like he used to be.

He had really waited for too long.

Though she didn’t love him, but maybe she shouldn’t reject this man who was truly good to her.

Maxina was very concerned with her lifelong happiness too.

“…Let me think of it.” Still she couldn’t just say yes to Sampson now.

Sampson stopped, “What did you say?”

He looked at Loredana in full surprise and couldn’t believe it.

She…She said yes?

Loredana looked at the buttonwood beside the road and said calmly, “I know you are very good to me.

And my mum wishes that we can be together. I…I don’t want to fail you.”

It was not because of love or affection. She felt nothing about love for him.

It was just because the man had accompanied her for too long, if she continued to reject him, she would feel guilty.

If she didn’t deserve to have a romantic relationship with someone in this life, then she shouldn’t fail this dedicated man.
