Chapter 20 Matchmaking Attempt!


The shock was evident on everyone's faces after Alaric's declaration.

'He's fallen for another woman? How is that even possible?' Cormac thought to himself.

"You might be eager to get rid of me, but do you truly need to make up such a far-fetched excuse? I don't believe it!" Although Orion had undoubtedly heard another woman in his room last night, she found herself unable to come to terms with Alaric's words.

"Believe it or not, that's your problem!" With that, Alaric walked out with Harry in his arms.

Orion rushed to follow, but Cormac grabbed her.

"Why are you holding me back? I need to confront the floozy who seduced Alaric!" she demanded.

"Orion, would you please come to your senses?" Cormac was sorely tempted to slap some sense into her. "Whether that woman exists or not, he has never loved you. Why cling to him?"

"Cormac, I'm your sister! How can you side with him now?" she retorted.

"Exactly! It's because you're my sister, I want you to see clearly. There are plenty of men in the world - it's not just Alaric. There will be other men who will love you, but look at yourself! The more you act like this, the more he'll detest you. Don't you get it?"

"I don't get it!" Orion spat, shaking off his grip emotionally. "You just won't help me. Fine, I'll go to Mom and Dad then. They will help me."

With that, Orion ran off in tears, leaving Cormac in frustration-he honestly felt she'd lost her mind.
