Cormac sat back a bit and held her little face with his hands. Probably it lacked air in his embrace, or probably it was because of the grievance that she had experienced, her eyes were reddened. Tears were hanging on her long eyelashes. He bent over the kiss away the tears from his daughter’s eyes and said hoarsely, “No. I’ll never leave you again in the future.”
His lips were warm and soft. The little girl closed her eyes by instinct. Her father’s breath was so close to her. He was holding her and kissing her, and she felt extremely happy.
It was quite easy for her to get satisfied. Just one kiss had melted her heart.
However, she didn’t know that her words also brought uneasiness to the man.
At that time, Loredana was pregnant. He knew that it was him who pushed her away so that they had parted from each other for so many years.
He wondered what he could do to make it up for the mother and the kids.
“Boy, why don’t you move back?” The caravan was quite big. A sofa was placed behind the driver’s seat. Boyce was studying the routes while half lying down. Samuel was sitting next to him, lying prone on the window, and looked out. Upon hearing Boyce’s voice, he didn’t look back, “I’m not sleepy. I don’t want.”
Simona had been clingy to Cormac. He didn’t want to look at the scene, which would make him uncomfortable.
If Cormac truly loved them, why would he have dumped Mommy in the past?
He wondered why Cormac suddenly looked so regretful.
“Uncle Boyce, what kind of man is he?” Samuel had conflicted feelings towards Cormac. He wanted to get close to Cormac, but he couldn’t let go of the fact that Cormac had dumped Loredana before.
Boyce was a bit taken aback. He sat up, “Whom do you refer to?”
Samuel pointed behind his back. Boyce understood whom he was asking about. He hooked Samuel’s neck and pulled the boy into his arms, “Boy, that’s your father. Why do you call him ‘he’?”
“Why should I call someone who has dumped me ‘father’?” Samuel raised his head, looking quite proud. In fact, he envied Simona a lot as she could call him “Daddy” so easily.
However, he found it quite difficult.
He was still angry that Cormac had abandoned them before. Cormac hadn’t abandoned Simona and him but also had dumped his mother, which he wouldn’t forgive so easily, although Cormac seemed quite good now.
Boyce looked at the little boy and could tell that he had a knot in his heart towards Cormac.
He rubbed the boy’s hair and said, “Your father shouldn’t have known that your mommy was pregnant at that time. Upon his character, even he didn’t like her, for responsibility, he wouldn’t have divorced.”
What Samuel cared about was not if Cormac would take the responsibilities. Instead, it mattered more that Cormac didn’t like his mother. He wondered if Cormac had married Mommy even he didn’t like her.
If he didn’t like her, why would he have married her?
Was there something wrong with him?
“In that case, didn’t he drag my mommy into an unhappy marriage?” Samuel asked with a frown.
If it were for him, Mommy could have found someone who loved her, couldn’t she?
Boyce rubbed his little nose, “Boy, what are you thinking about? Don’t worry about the adults’ matters.
You’ll get aged before your time.”
Samuel curled his lips, “Uncle Boyce, you’ll be the one who gets aged first.” He counted with his fingers, “After twenty years, you will be an old man. At that time, I’ll still be a young man.”
He ran away from him after finishing his words.
“Hey, you brat!” Boyce was helpless, “Slow down. I’m not going to catch you. Your father is quite protective to you guys.”
Until now, Boyce was still upset that Cormac didn’t allow him to touch Simona.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Boyce got.
What a petty man!
That was only his daughter, wasn’t it?
Boyce believed that he could have a daughter in the future as well.
However, he had to admit that Loredana was quite capable. She gave birth to twins of different genders, who had completely inherited the advantages of their parents – their son was smart and their daughter was cute. Boyce believed that he would also be overjoyed if he had such two kids.
The only problem was that he wasn’t so lucky as Cormac.
“Alas…” Boyce heaved a sigh, leaning against the back of the sofa. When he was about to pick up the cell phone and continue to study the routes, Cormac came out from the inside. Boyce bounced up,
“Where is your daughter?”
In fact, he meant why Cormac was willing to come out alone.
Shouldn’t he be staying inside to accompany his daughter?
“She’s sleeping.” He took over Boyce’s phone and looked through the planned routes. He asked, “Is this the only pathway?”
“Not really. However, according to my judgment, he would take the most remote ones to hide from our search, which couldn’t be found easily because there was no surveillance. The shortage is those pathways might be quite bumpy, so he couldn’t drive too fast.”
“Send two men to explore ahead on the pathways.” Cormac wanted to see if they could find any traces. Since his children were with him now, he couldn’t leave them. Otherwise, he would do it on his own.
“Sure,” Boyce said, “I’ve sent my men over there.” As he spoke, he cast a glance towards the inside.
Then he approached Cormac, “I can tell the little boy has the knot in his heart towards you.”
Cormac certainly knew the fact.
He knew it very well.
“He’s blaming for divorcing Loredana.” Cormac looked down. He looked as if he was staring at the phone, but his thoughts were not on it.
Boyce looked at him ambiguously, “You didn’t like her at that time, did you? How could she get pregnant?”
Back then, Cormac wasn’t happy about the marriage, which Boyce and Armand both knew. If it weren’t appointed by his birth mother, he wouldn’t have married Loredana.
Since he didn’t love or like her and Maria was with him at that time, Boyce wondered how Cormac made Loredana pregnant.
Cormac cast an indifferent glance at him, “Stop being so nosy.”
For this matter, he didn’t want to talk about it with anyone as long as he knew what had happened exactly.
It was not worth telling everyone.
Otherwise, they would know that Loredana had got pregnant before marrying him.
Boyce knew him very well. Since Cormac wasn’t willing to talk about it, nobody could make him talk.
Hence, Boyce picked up his phone and continued to study the routes, trying to find a better route that was a short distance and not so bumpy.
Inside the compartment, Samuel was lying on the bed, tossing about. He wasn’t sleepy at all. With a hand supporting his head, he looked at Simona, who was sleeping soundly. He reached and pinched her nose gently, “You ungrateful little thing. How can you call him Daddy so fast?”
Simona felt her nose tickling. She twisted and tilted her head to continue sleeping.
Samuel felt quite bored. He turned around and lay on the bed facing up. Staring at the lamp, he muttered, “When can we find Mommy?”
Suddenly, the telephone watch on his wrist started ringing. He raised his hand and looked at the unknown number on the screen. He didn’t know this number before, wondering if the call was from
Mommy.
At the thought of it, he immediately pressed the button to answer.
He put the watch next to his mouth and called, “Mommy?”
A woman’s voice came from the other end of the line…
