She knew that what Loredana cared the most was her two children.
Now they were staying in Cormac’s villa and followed by bodyguards whenever they went out. She didn’t have any chance to do anything, but she could take their photos in secret.
She gulped down the wine in the glass and sent out a text message.
“Your children look so cute. They look like you as well as their father.”
Loredana’ cell phone vibrated again. She tabbed to read the message and became panicked after reading it.
How could the person have the photos of Samuel and Simona?
Was he watching her?
Her life track was exposed to a “stranger”, which made her hair stand on end.
Especially it was related to the security of her children, she couldn’t stay calm any longer.
“What’s the matter?”
Loredana suddenly paused. Cormac looked back at her.
She stared at him and fell into the silence for a few seconds. “I have forgotten something in the store. I must go back and get it.”
As she spoke, she pulled out her hand grabbed by Cormac’s big hand.
“Is it so important?” Cormac glanced at her hand that grabbed the cell phone in doubt.
Subconsciously, Loredana hid her hand behind her back.
It was an extremely important matter for her, and she couldn’t be threatened by the other party all the time.
Particularly, it would do harm to her children at any time, and she couldn’t keep calm and do anything.
“Yes. It’s quite important for me.” She said firmly. “You can go in first. I’ll be right back.”
As she spoke, Loredana turned around and strode outside.
Cormac gazed at her rushing back, squinting. He always felt that something was wrong with her as if she was hiding something from him.
As soon as Thomas saw Loredana leave, he immediately trotted over. “Why is Mrs. Loredana leaving? Mr.
and Mrs. Mendelsohn are still waiting for her inside.”
Cormac frowned at him coldly as if he wanted to freeze Thomas.
Meeting his eyes, Thomas shut up immediately.
He knew that Cormac didn’t get along with Jayden and Victoria. Probably he was angry that they didn’t inform him ahead before coming over.
At the thought of it, Thomas explained to Cormac, “It’s for your own good when Mr. and Mrs. Mendelsohn came over this time.”
Cormac is not in the mood to listen to him.
For his own good?
He sneered in his heart. Striding into the living room, he made the temperature around him drop, emanating coldness to others.
Thomas didn’t dare to utter a beep, following him in.
In the living room, seemingly there were never so many people gathering together, making the empty room lively.
Jayden was sitting on the host’s seat, and beside him was sitting Victoria.
Maxina was sitting with the two kids on the right side. Coral was standing behind Victoria. Seeing him walk in, everyone turned to look at him.
“Why did you come back alone?” Jayden spoke first to break the ice, his voice full of uncovered excitement.
Cormac sneered. “Who else do you want to meet?”
They were the father and son, but they were always like enemies whenever encountering each other –
exceptionally hateful to each other.
Jayden’s hands suddenly clenched. Tightly holding the leather on the sofa armrest, he tried his best to suppress his anger. “Am I not your father?”
“I didn’t have a choice.” Cormac sat on the sofa.
Simona stared at Cormac pitifully. If it weren’t that Maxina pulled her to stop her, she would have thrown herself into his arms as soon as Cormac came in.
On the contrary, Samuel was extremely calm as if he knew what the elders of the Mendelsohn family had come here for.
And he knew what was on the table.
“You-” Jayden didn’t want to get angry, but he always couldn’t keep calm whenever heard his son’s sarcasm.
Victoria held his trembling hand and comforted him, “Calm down. You have a more important matter.”
“If you want to do PDA, don’t do it in my house. I’m quite busy,” he said impatiently. When he was speaking, he looked over at Simona. The little girl didn’t cling to him today, which made him a bit uncomfortable.
It seemed that he had got used to the soft little bum who always pounced at him and asked him to hold whenever he came home.
“We have something important.” Victoria grabbed Jayden’s hand tightly, stop him from getting angry because of Cormac’s words.
Jayden took a deep breath several times to suppress the anger in his chest. Pointing at the folder on the desk, he said, “Take a look yourself. Give me an explanation after reading it. Don’t try to retort me.
The evidence is here. Don’t try to hide anything from me.”
Cormac didn’t move.
The father and the son looked into each other’s eyes. In the silent confrontation, a smokeless war had begun.
…
The atmosphere became quite deadlocked.
“Daddy.”
It was Simona’s sweet call that broke the ice.
“Quiet,” Maxina reminded her, patting on her shoulder.
With reddened eyes, Victoria reached out to Simona. “Come over.”
