He chuckled and hummed faintly, “I have a matter to attend to. You can continue to stay in that room.
Samuel is there too, so you can take care of him.”
He had arranged it well, Loredana was grateful. She nodded and said, “Thank you.”
“We are husband and wife; you don’t have to be so polite with me.” He put emphasis on the first part of the sentence. While saying that to Loredana, he was also saying it to Maxina to make her understand that Loredana was now with him.
Cormac stood up but Simona kept clinging to his arm, “Where are you going? Can I go with you?”
She blinked looking up at him.
Cormac pinched her little nose and refused, “No.”
“Why?” Simona asked in disappointment. She wanted to go with him.
What if he left and never came back?
Then she would have no father.
No, she just couldn’t let him leave so easily.
Cormac patiently coaxed her, “Do you want me to like you?”
Simona nodded without hesitation, “Yes.”
“If you listen to what I say, I will like you, right?”
“Right!”
“So, wait for me at home like a good girl.”
Simona was reluctant, but still nodded, “Well, then you have to come back soon.”
She was afraid that if she was not obedient, her father would not like her.
Cormac went upstairs to change his clothes. His clothes had gotten wet when Simona had tried to wash his face. His shirt was clinging on to his skin and was a little uncomfortable.
He changed into an all-black suit, looking valiant and noble. Under the light, he looked magnificent and very handsome.
It was just that his indifferent expression scared people away from approaching.
Simona was stunned when she saw him walking down the stairs.
Maxina was feeding her rice, but she forgot to open her mouth and stared at Cormac with her eyes open wide and full of hearts.
“Simona.” Maxina called her to remind her.
Simona regained her focus and sighed, “Daddy is so handsome.”
Her father was really the most handsome.
Maxina was almost scared by Simona’s behavior. She was just a little child but she was already so smitten by Cormac’s handsomeness.
When Cormac walked to the entrance, Simona suddenly slid off her chair, ran over and stopped not far away from Cormac. She looked up at him and asked, “Daddy, will you still come back? You won’t abandon us, right?”
Because Samuel told her that their father didn’t want them, she was afraid that Cormac would not come back when he walked out that door. She was afraid that he was going to abandon them again.
Her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse, “Don’t abandon us.”
She was really terrified.
She didn’t want to leave her father.
Meeting her uneasy little eyes, Cormac walked over, patted her head and said firmly, “No.”
Simona was happy again and grinned, “Kiss.”
She stood on her tip-toes and stretched out her hands to hug him for a kiss.
Cormac bent down according to her wishes. Simona hugged his neck and kissed his cheek, transferring her saliva and some of the rice she hadn’t swallowed on to his face.
Cormac had no words.
Inwardly, he was sure that he must have done hideous things in his past life, which was why God was punishing him in this life by sending two little demons with Loredana.
Loredana took a wet wipe and handed it to him.
Cormac didn’t respond to her, just stared at her faintly.
Her daughter did this to him; shouldn’t Loredana wipe his face herself?
Loredana understood the look in his eyes and stretched out her hand to wipe his face, but Simona pulled the hem of her shirt, “Mommy, give it to me. I will wipe Daddy’s face.”
Cormac, “…”
Loredana looked down at her daughter, her little eyes full of longing, begging to do it.
Simona pulled on her clothes and acted like a baby, “Mommy, I want to do it, let me do it.”
Loredana couldn’t refuse. Just as she was about to hand it to Simona, Cormac took it and wiped his face.
Loredana, “…”
She grumbled, “Is my daughter the devil?”
“Almost.”
Cormac wiped his face and gave the wet wipe back to Loredana, “I’m going.”
Simona frowned, thinking about the meaning of their words. As the door closed, she still hadn’t understood the meaning. She looked up at Loredana and asked, “Mommy, who is the devil?”
“Nobody. Let’s go eat.” Loredana picked her up and brought her back to the table, “Listen to your grandmother.”
Simona turned her head and looked at the closed door, thinking about when her Daddy was going to come back.
Maxina was feeding her but she was too absent-minded to ear properly.
Her head was full of Cormac.
Loredana looked at her daughter and sighed deeply. What was she going to do with her? She thought.
But again, for the time being she could not immediately take Simona away from Cormac. Their safety was most important, so they could only take it slow.
Loredana took a tray of food for Samuel to his room. She held the tray in one hand and opened the door of the room with the other. Samuel was standing by the window, holding the curtains, watching Cormac drive away.
“What are you looking at?” Loredana walked in.
Samuel hurriedly pulled the curtains closed and shook his head, “Nothing. I was just bored in the house, so was looking outside.”
“If you want to come out then just come out. The swelling on your face has gone down a lot, no once will be able to see it.” Putting the food on the table, Loredana walked over and sat on the chair.
“No, it’s too ugly to be seen by anyone.” Samuel’s ego was pretty big.
Loredana put the milk in front of him, “What do you want to eat tomorrow? I will make it for you.”
Samuel shook his head and lowered his eyes. He stuffed his mouth with rice, not really chewing, looking a little depressed.
Loredana came over, hugged him and said in a distressed tone, “Samuel, what is the matter? Does your head hurt?”
“No.” He was in a bad mood, not because he was injured but because Simona called that heartless guy
Daddy.
He never raised them.
Why call him father?
He picked at the rice with his chopsticks. Actually, when Simona had called Cormac Daddy, he had felt a little uncomfortable.
“What is it then?” Loredana looked down at her son.
“It’s nothing. I am just a little annoyed because of my injury.”
Loredana kissed his head, “Sorry. I couldn’t protect you.”
“It’s not about you.” In order to not make Loredana worried, Samuel put away his emotions and started eating properly.
Cormac’s car stopped outside the S&H Hotel.
He sat in the car and watched the video of Loredana being undressed. There was no sound in the video.
Sampson was clearly saying something while undressing her, but Cormac couldn’t pat attention to his words. His gaze was fixed on Sampson’s hands. The corner of his eyes crinkled as he narrowed his eyes a bit.
The video stopped when Sampson unbuttoned her pants.
