No giving up, Coral tried to continue.
“She was pregnant before we got married. The children are not mine.” Cormac interrupted her quickly.
He had never touched her. Wouldn’t he know?
The thought of her with someone else in bed made him depressed and made it hard to breathe.
So, he didn’t want anyone to mention the identity of these children to him.
He didn’t want anyone to talk to him about her past.
He didn’t want to know about it!
“You… What are you talking about?” Coral was shocked. Her hands were trembling and she was only able to speak after a long time.
Cormac married someone who had already been pregnant?
How was this possible?
“I didn’t think of her as that kind of indecent girl with no self-respect. How could this be possible?” Coral couldn’t believe that Loredana was pregnant before she married Cormac.
“I know the truth and I don’t want to hear other people’s speculations about it.” After saying that,
Cormac stepped out of the room.
This was Coral, he wouldn’t have said this much if it was anyone else.
Coral’s mind was a mess. She looked at the photos in her hands and at Samuel who was lying in the bed. Even though his face was swollen, she still remembered how he looked when he was not injured.
How could Loredana have conceived him before marriage?
How?
He clearly looked like Cormac did when he was a child.
Coral was still unable to come out of the shock of this incident.
She didn’t know how to walk back to the room, she felt like she was floating in space.
Loredana and Maxina entered the villa.
Maxina went to the guest bedroom to see if Simona was awake. Loredana went to the kitchen to find some ice cubes in the freezer. She wrapped them in a towel and applied it to Samuel’s face.
The sky gradually darkened and became red as the sun sank.
Coral had cleared up her emotions and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Simona woke up, finding herself in an unfamiliar environment she stuck to Maxina and stayed in her arms.
Maxina was also unfamiliar with the place so she held Simona in the room and didn’t go out.
In the study room, Cormac hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was five o’clock. He got up and walked out of the study room. The living room was quiet. Occasionally, the sound of Coral preparing dinner came from the kitchen.
Cormac opened the door to the bedroom and saw Loredana sitting on the chair by the bed with a towel on the table.
Samuel was still asleep.
It looked like Loredana was guarding him.
He walked in and looked at the child lying on the bed, his eyelashes spread on his cheeks. He reached out, held Loredana head and pressed it into his embrace comforting her, “Don’t worry too much.”
She hummed.
Cormac was standing and Loredana was sitting. He held her head so that her face was against his abdomen. She could feel his abs through his shirt, hot and hard.
“Thank you.” Loredana said sincerely as she stretched out her hand and wrapped it around his waist.
This time the incident had happened so suddenly, if it hadn’t been for Cormac’s help, she didn’t know what would have happened.
Fortunately, both children were fine now.
Cormac’s body froze, his thoughts became confused for a moment.
Loredana rarely took initiative to have physical contact with him. Did this mean that’s he was slowly opening up to him?
He clasped her head softly, rubbing her ears and the skin behind her ears, occasionally kneading her earlobes.
It seemed that her earlobes were a bit more sensitive, she shuddered slightly.
Feeling her reaction, Cormac bent down and kissed her hair, forehead, the corner of her eyes, her cheeks…
“Hmm…”
There was a soft groan, followed by Samuel’s slightly hoarse voice, “Mommy.”
Loredana quickly drew back, pushing Cormac away and quickly looked around to see Samuel, “Are you awake?”
Cormac didn’t know what to say.
“Yeah.” Samuel looked at Cormac, put his hand under the quilt and held the bed sheet tightly. Actually, he had woken up when Cormac had walked in.
He had kept silent on purpose to see how he and Loredana get along.
He was not prepared to see that. They were divorced but he still wanted to kiss his mother.
He really hated him!
He looked at Cormac and grinned, hissing painfully as the corner of his lips stretched, “Thank you, really!”
Cormac frowned. Looking at his smile, he could smell conspiracy.
“Don’t talk! There is a wound on your mouth.” Loredana felt sorry for her son seeing the corner of his lips hurt when he spoke.
“Mommy, do you not know?” Samuel pretended to be surprised.
“Know what?” Loredana looked at her son blankly.
Cormac glared at him warningly.
Samuel pretended to not see it and said to Loredana, “Mommy, I was kidnapped but it was intentional.”
“What?” Loredana couldn’t stop herself.
Was his brain affected? Why was he saying he was intentionally kidnapped?
Samuel continued to pretend to be innocent, “Yeah, it was his idea to have me kidnapped by
Sampson.”
He pointed at Cormac.
Cormac was rendered speechless.
Loredana raised her head to look at him as if she was asking him what the hell was going on.
Cormac finally understood why Samuel paused just now.
Samuel was so young, but how could he become so scheming?
“Kid, if you keep acting like this way, you’ll not grow tall.”
“I will grow taller than you. You’ll not be able to grow tall.” Samuel seemed to be emboldened due to the presence of his mommy.
Was this kid dropping his benefactor as soon as his help was not required?
“What the hell is going on?” Loredana suddenly stood to her feet. Judging from their tones when they were talking, it looked like the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
Didn’t Samuel detest Cormac very much?
How came that he they had contacts with each other?
Had Cormac secretly come into contact with her son without her acknowledgement?
What was his intention?
“Make it clear to me.” Loredana pulled a long face and acted like she would not let go of them easily if they didn’t give her an explanation.
“You, tell me.” Loredana pointed at Samuel.
Samuel blinked his eyes and told her the truth, “Mummy, I know that you were bullied by Sampson.”
Loredana’ heart missed one beat. How… How did Samuel know about this?
“Samuel.”
