Samuel had the best dreamless sleep and he was the first to wake up in the morning. When he saw Cormac hugging Loredana, he frowned and sat up in bed as if he was angry.
He finally couldn’t hold his anger and took away Cormac’s arm and got in between them to separate them.
His movement caused both Cormac and Loredana woke up, and he reacted quickly by hugging Loredana.
He pampered himself in her arms, “Mummy, please hug me.”
He rarely did this.
Loredana became soft-hearted seeing his sudden action as she hugged him in her arms and kissed him on the forehead.
Cormac was speechless.
He rolled over and silently looked at the ceiling.
He just wanted to get his wife back. Why did even his son have to go against him?
“Mummy, did you have a good time before?”
Loredana couldn’t understand Samuel’s words and she thought that 0he was talking nonsense in the early morning.
She reached out to touch her son’s forehead. Samuel moved away his head, “I’m not having a fever.”
“Then what did you… what did you mean just now?”
Samuel glanced at Cormac behind her, “When you were pregnant and had us inside your belly, there were people saying you to be pregnant before you married with him. You had a hard time giving birth to us and raising us up alone. So, you should never be soft-hearted towards those who had disappointed you and abandoned you during your hardest time. Otherwise, he’ll think you’re easy to cajole and won’t cherish you. He will even hurt you next time.”
Loredana finally understood why his son was like this early in the morning.
She reached out to pinch his cheeks, “Where did you learn all these ‘great principles’?”
“Mummy, please promise me that you will not casually, easily forgive people who hurt you.” Samuel showed his serious little face.
She felt pleased but also upset seeing her son’s serious face. She felt like she shouldn’t reject his request and nodded, “I know.”
Cormac rolled over again and laid on the bed. He knew that Samuel was saying those words for him to hear.
However, he couldn’t even refute a single word.
As people said, “The evils we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear.”
If he hadn’t trusted Maria so easily just because she had saved his life, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.
There was no one else to blame.
The curtains which shaded the sunlight made the room look dark even it was almost seven o’clock.
Loredana got up to find clothes for the two children. She also dressed them and washed them up.
Cormac buttoned his shirt and stood at the bathroom door, “Let’s go to the mall.”
She had no clothes to wear.
Loredana nodded.
After washing up, she put on the dress and when she went to the door to change her shoes, Cormac pulled her towards him, “Just wear slippers and go to the mall.”
The wound in her arch had not yet healed completely. It was not good for her ankle if she wore high heels.
Loredana looked down at the hotel slippers she was wearing on her feet and blinked, “Is it good to go outside like this?”
“I won’t mind you being like this.” Cormac put his arm around her shoulders to reassure her, “Don’t worry. I’ll be with you.”
Loredana looked up at him who was dressed in a suit. He looked tall and distinguished, displaying the aura of a successful man. She lowered his head, thinking that what was she worried about as he didn’t even mind her being like that.
After having breakfast downstairs, they all got into the car and the three cars left the hotel one after another.
After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the largest shopping mall in White City.
The mall was not very big. There were four floors, with lifts going up and down the hall. There were entertainment facilities for children to play. The first floor was for clothing, while the second floor was for jewellery, and the cinema and restaurant were located on the top floor.
Simona didn’t want to go up with them when she saw there were entertainment facilities downstairs.
“You two wait for me down here. I’ll go up and buy some clothes. Then, I will come down.” Loredana knew her daughter well. If she didn’t allow her daughter to play, she would make trouble again.
Loredana let go of her son and let him play with his sister downstairs as well, “Take care of her for Mummy.”
Samuel nodded, “Then, Mummy, come back faster.”
“Yes.”
Loredana went upstairs alone, trailed by the bodyguard arranged by Boyce.
Loredana was a fashion designer and she knew how to choose clothes well. The first thing she considered was whether the clothes were comfortable. She chose some casual clothes as she was not attending an important event.
She saw a casual outfit branded MO, which she had bought before. She liked both the style and the comfort of the clothes when she wore them. So, she walked in.
She was quite a little surprised that there was such a brand in this small place in White City.
Loredana wanted to buy a beige hoodie and she looked at the salesgirl who was sitting on the sofa using her phone, “Is this hoodie available in size S?”
The salesgirl didn’t even raise her head, “The hoodie costs 4800 Yuan. Are you sure you want to try it on?”
Loredana was speechless.
In the past, she was always served well when she entered the shop. She was really surprised by the salesgirl’s attitude.
Loredana took a breath, “I’m sure.”
The salesgirl finally got up. She took a glance at the slippers on Loredana’s feet and taunted her mockingly while pouting her mouth, “Is it a trend to wear disposable shoes out now?”
Obviously, the salesgirl thought that Loredana couldn’t afford such expensive clothes seeing her outfit.
The salesgirl was still chattering as she took the clothes, “All the clothes sold in our shop are branded.
They are all designed by foreign designers. You have to buy them if you try them on…”
“Then don’t take it for me. Thanks.” Loredana didn’t understand why was she taunting her when she just wanted to buy a hoodie.
Did she say that she must buy it after trying it on?
What kind of arbitrary clause was that?
It was the first time she encountered this kind of situation.
The salesgirl slammed the clothes she took out. She stood up and looked at Loredana, “What do you mean? Did I ask you if you were sure you wanted to try it? You said you were sure, so I took it for you, and you are telling me now that you don’t want it after I take it out. Do you want to play with me now?”
“No…”
“What do you mean?” The salesgirl looked aggressive.
Loredana felt that she couldn’t communicate with this kind of person. She turned around and wanted to leave, but the salesgirl pulled her arm, “You can’t leave. I’ve already taken out the clothes. You have to buy them!”
“This doesn’t make any sense!” Loredana was really shocked by the salesgirl’s bossiness. She thought that normally the staff in a clothing shop was professionally trained, how could she be so unreasonable?
“If you can’t afford it, why are you wasting my time here acting like you are a rich woman?” The salesgirl pouted her mouth and said coldly as if she wouldn’t allow Loredana to leave if she did not want to buy the shirt today, “If you ask me to take it out, you must buy it. I have told you the price. It’s 4800
Yuan. Pay it.”
“Ask your boss to come here.” Loredana felt that she couldn’t communicate with her.
“The boss is not available now and you can talk with me. I am the boss’s cousin and I can help my boss to make the decision.”
Loredana finally realized that the reason why she dared to be so arrogant was that she had a relationship with the boss.
“Miss, you shouldn’t treat your customer like this…”
“Cut the crap. Pay me the money. Then take your clothes and leave!” The salesgirl was so arrogant as if she thought that she was the boss of the shop being the boss’s cousin.
“What if I don’t want to pay?” Loredana also displayed a cold look.
“Oh, then I won’t let you leave the shop. For your information, my cousin knows Charles White. Do you know him? He is my cousin’s friend. This mall is owned by him. If you want to act like a rich woman, you have come to the wrong place.”
