Chapter 93 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

“How many things have you hidden from me?” he asked in an extremely low voice, as if he was suppressing something in his heart.

Things flashed through Maria’s mind, as if all movie scenes were replaying. She was thinking about the hidden meaning of Cormac’s question.

Suddenly her pupils shrank sharply. It seemed that he had heard her conversation with Loredana.

“Nothing,” she denied.

“Nothing?” Cormac sneered.

She used to save him once so he trusted her. Although he found her charades before, he didn’t look into them. He was not willing to get even with her.

After all, he treasured their relationship.

However, she always kept refreshing his perception of herself.

She deceived him by self-acted and self-directed scripts. Even it was she who planned the car accident that happened to Loredana back then.

He had underestimated Maria in the past. He had just thought she was playing some small tricks. Much to his surprise, it turned out that she was so vicious.

“I didn’t … I didn’t set up Loredana Flores. She, she made it up.” Maria’s face was wet by tears. Reaching out, she wanted to grab Cormac’s arm. “Cormac, you got to believe me.

He just stared at her face for a few second, his cold lips forming into a straight line. Without saying anything, he pried open her hand.

Maria was unwilling to let go, but Cormac’s strength was so strong. Unable to resist, her hand was removed easily.

“Cormac.” Maria hugged his legs. “I really didn’t do it. Believe me. If I was wrong, it was because I love you so much. Is it wrong to love you?”

“Heh heh.”

Cormac sneered, as if he was mocking at himself. He whispered softly to answer, “You are not wrong.

I was wrong. It’s my fault.”

He shouldn’t have mistaken responsibility as love.

“No. It’s not like that.” Maria shook her head desperately. “It’s neither your fault nor mine. It’s all her fault.”

Turning around, she pointed at Loredana, who was standing on the steps. “It’s all because of her. She’s just a bitch!”

“You bitch…”

Theresa was about to retort but stopped by Loredana. It was unnecessary to get a verbal fighting with

Maria.

Loredana knew what Maria feared the most was losing Cormac.

In return, she should poke Maria’s sore spot, which was Cormac.

In her high-heels, Loredana walked down the steps, walking towards Cormacs step by step. Raising her hand, she tossed her hair behind a ear, her eyes seductive. Then she put her hand on Cormac’s shoulder, calling him in a soft and gentle tone, “Honey.”

Loredana sickened herself. She really couldn’t get used to this way of addressing him.

Anyway, their divorce certificate was not issued, so she still could address him in this way.

Her main purpose was to piss Maria.

Maria was face blushed because of anger, looking like a well-cooked shrimp.

Cormac looked down slightly at Loredana’ arm on his shoulder. It was slender with fair skin. She stood so close to him that he could even see the hair on her arm clearly.

For the first time, Loredana took the initiative to approach him.

And she called him in such an intimate way.

He couldn’t help feeling delighted.

He didn’t mind Loredana calling him in such a way.

He knew that she had done it on purpose, but didn’t pushed her away.

He just let her lean on himself.

“Stop flattering yourself!” Maria was totally irritated because Loredana called him “honey”.

She got up from the ground and waved her fists, aiming to punch Loredana. “You bitch! Don’t touch

Cormac!”

Just before her fist landed, Cormac grabbed her wrist.

Meeting his eyes, Maria was startled by the coldness in his eyes.

She had never seen such coldness in Cormac’s eyes before.

“I…”

“Abbott.” Cormac shook off her hand.

Abbott understood. He stepped forward and pulled her away.

How could Maria be willing to let Abbott pull her away while watching Loredana and Cormac were so intimate?

“Abbott, let go of me!” Maria didn’t care about anything else. All she wanted was to escape from

Abbott’s grip and pull Loredana away.

She definitely wouldn’t let Loredana to touch Cormac.

Cormac belonged to her only.

She didn’t allow anyone else to touch him.

“Ms. Herbert, mind your dignity, please.” Abbott frowned.

“Abbott Baron, who do you think you are? How dare you mind my business?” she growled.

Cormac was not in the mood to tangle with her. He just ordered Abbott in a light tone, “I’m leaving it to you.” Then he took Loredana away.

“Cormac…” Seeing that Cormac was leaving, Maria completely panicked.

She started hitting and kicking Abbott. “Let go of me. Now! Let go!”

Still gripping her tightly, Abbott stood still. “Ms. Herbert, calm down please. Mr. Mendelsohn has already called off the engagement with you…”

“You know nothing about the love between Cormac and me. Even if our engagement was canceled, he still loves me.”

Abbott found she was pretty hilarious.

She said Cormac loved her.

Although he was an outsider, Abbott still couldn’t tell that Cormac had never loved her all through the years.

All Cormac had to her was the responsibility for that night and the gratitude for her saving his life in his childhood.

Love?

Bullshit.

“You psycho.”

“You are the lunatic. You are a dog, a barking watchdog raised by Cormac!”

Abbott’s face fell. He sneered. “That’s right. I’m not so noble as you are, the daughter from the Herbert family!”

Abbott extremely emphasized her identity.

He couldn’t understand why a person could change her personality due to the change of her identity.

Now he realized that she was supposed to be such a person originally. She just had hidden her true color in the past.

Now she exposed her nature.

It proved the old saying … “a leopard cannot change its spots.”

Seeing that Cormac pulled Loredana into the car, Abbott let go of Maria.

He cast her a cold glance.

“Mr. Mendelsohn will never like such a woman like you.”

Maria was so furious that she couldn’t help shaking. Seeing Abbott leaving, she rushed to him and bit his hand.

Abbott groaned because of the pain.

It hurt a lot.

Lifting up his foot, he kicked the crazy woman away. “You are a dog that bites,” he said with disdain.

Checking his hand back that was almost bitten to bleed, Abbott spat on the woman who fell down the ground because of his kick.

Then he turned around and left.

Lying face down on the ground, Maria clenched her hands into fists. She swore that she would revenge for all the humiliation she had received today.

“Let go of me.” Being pulled away, Loredana panicked. She just wanted to provoke Maria on purpose just now.

Cormac didn’t response, and he just kept forcing her into the car.

Loredana kept struggling.

Cormac grabbed her restless hands. “Be quiet.”

Loredana wriggled, trying to get rid of his grip. “Where are you taking me to?”

Cormac’s body leaned over. Loredana couldn’t help but moving backward. However she didn’t have much space to move as the back of the seat was behind her.

Soon his sturdy pecs pressed on her, almost seamless. She could clearly feel his temperature. She stiffened without any guts to move.

Cormac licked her hair behind her ear, his lips approaching her cheeks. With a deep voice, he said with a long tone, “You just want to go away after making use of me. Where is my reward?”

Loredana didn’t answer.

At this moment, she regretted for using him to revenge Maria.

Cormac got up slightly and helped her buckle the safe belt. During the whole process, Loredana dared not to resist anymore.

It was true that she had used him.

Cormac withdrew his body, starting the engine. The car roared away.

Leaning against the car window, Loredana thought for a long while before speaking again, “Just now, I made use of you without your permission. I was abrupt. How much do you want?

Cormac was speechless.

He wanted to yell at her, “Do I look like I’m short of money?”

“I don’t need money.”
