Jayden supported her and asked in concern, “Are you feeling better?”
Victoria smiled faintly, “Much better. It’s nothing serious, don’t worry.”
“Do you think you are still young?” Jayden glanced at her, “We are all old!”
Victoria’s expressions dimmed dejectedly, “I think I am still very young! The day I met you feels like it was just yesterday.”
When he arrived at the study, Jayden helped Victoria sit in a chair before turning to look at Coral, “Just say what you want to.”
“Wait, first tell me about the twins.”
Victoria interrupted them.
Jayden told her about it.
“What?” Victoria trembled with excitement. Cormac had children?
“You are still sick, don’t get too emotional.” Jayden said in a soothing tone, trying to calm her down.
But how could she calm down when she heard that Cormac had children.
“What on earth is going on?” Victoria clutched Jayden’s arm tightly.
Her nails dug into his flesh, but he couldn’t feel it.
Coral explained the matter again, “I think that Miss Loredana is angry with Master Cormac, so she doesn’t want to tell him about his children’s existence. I just thought that we could evaluate it personally… test it, like on TV. One, she won’t be able to deny it anymore, and also, the Mendelsohn family’s blood should not be taken lightly.”
Jayden pondered on her words slowly.
But Victoria couldn’t sit still, “Where are the children? I want to meet them.”
“There is no need to hurry.” Jayden put a hand on her shoulder.
“Why not? He is in his early thirties, and now we find out he has children. How can I not be excited?”
Victoria had forgotten that she was Cormac’s step-mother.
Jayden thought about the forbearance and pain she had suffered for so many years and asked Coral to bring the child in.
The stairs were at the back of the living room, so Victoria hadn’t been able to notice that there was a child in the living room. She had only heard Coral say something about twins.
Soon, Coral brought Samuel in.
Victoria got up from the chair, her frail body swaying as she stared at the little boy in Coral’s arms.
His small pointy nose, full forehead and bug bright eyes were exactly the same as Cormac when he was a child.
Tremblingly, she walked over to Coral and wrapped her shaking hands around Samuel’s small face.
She wanted to say something but her internal organs seemed to be tearing apart, causing her extreme pain.
“What is your name?” Her voice was very hoarse.
“Samuel Flores.”
“Samuel Flores?” Victoria turned to look at Jayden. What was going on?
Why was his surname Flores?
“Miss Loredana raised him herself and she had already been divorced when he was born so he has her surname.” Coral explained.
Victoria understood that much.
It was just, that there was no need for what Coral had said just now about needing to personally evaluate him. Looking at his face, he was clearly Cormac’s child.
“Call him and ask him to pay us a visit.” Victoria suppressed her tumbling emotions and reached out to hug Samuel, “Come and hug me.”
Samuel blinked and asked, “Are you my grandma?”
Victoria’s heart seemed to be tearing apart. She trembled all over.
“Yes, she is your grandma.” Jayden answered for her.
He walked over to support her and said firmly, “You are his grandmother.”
Victoria fell into his arms, crying dully.
Perhaps, her willpower had become weak due to her illness.
“Tell him to come back.” Victoria muttered in his arms.
Considering the current situation, Jayden felt what Coral said was reasonable. Loredana must be angry at Cormac, what they were going to do if she refused to admit that the children were Cormac’s.
So, they needed to show her evidence, so that she will have no room for rebuttal.
“Don’t worry too much about it. I am afraid he is still in the dark.”
“Then what should we do?” Victoria panicked.
This child was obviously Cormac’s. He was the blood of the Mendelsohn family.
Jayden sighed and patted her on the back, “There is a way. Don’t worry.”
Victoria became a little calm, “Then let Samuel stay here.”
“This won’t work.”
Before Jayden could answer her, Coral spoke. She had used an excuse to bring him here; no one knew where she took him. She couldn’t leave him here before finding the evidence of his identity.
“Coral, you go back first. I will send Thomas to the villa later.” Jayden had an idea.
First, Coral was to go back to find Cormac and Samuel’s hair strand or used toothbrushes for the test.
No one would be able to deny the fact after the evidence.
“Okay.” Coral nodded.
Walking out of the mansion, Coral looked down at Samuel in her arms, “Let’s go to the supermarket.
Don’t tell what happened here to your Mommy and Daddy, okay?”
She had deceived Maxina with the excuse of going to the supermarket, and she was afraid that if she went back without buying anything Maxina would become suspicious.
Moreover, this matter was not yet resolved. If Maxina or Loredana got to know about this, they might hinder the process and no one could tell when the truth be revealed then.
Although they had avoided talking about the test in front of him, Samuel still knew about it and it made him feel uneasy.
He pursed his lips tightly, “Do they doubt my identity?”
Coral shook her head, “No.”
Samuel smiled; his face full of disbelief.
Coral explained, “Your Mommy didn’t tell you Daddy about your identity. She must be mad at him. So, we have to show evidence and win him over, right?”
It seemed like a legitimate reason. Samuel looked up at the sky, “I don’t know if Mommy is going to be angry when she finds out about this.”
“Do you want Mommy and Daddy to reconcile and for you four to live together as a family?” Coral asked him.
He did.
His sister had been smiling a lot more these days.
He wanted a home and a family too, a family that had Mommy, Daddy and grandparents – a complete family.
Coral smiled, knowing that he was listening to his heart.
She helped him get into the car and they went to the supermarket before going to the villa.
In the afternoon, while Loredana and Cormac were still out and Maxina was playing with the children in the living room, Coral took Samuel’s hair strand and found Cormac’s in the bathroom and gave them to Thomas.
“Master has said for you to take care of the children well.” Thomas conveyed the order to Coral.
The result was still not out yet, he didn’t want to come forward rashly and warn Loredana about their plan. He wanted to wait until after he had proof.
“Reassure him. I will take care of them.”
“Okay.” Thomas left with the hair samples.
Coral returned to the villa.
It was like their secret meeting never happened.
