Loredana frowned. How could he change his face so quickly?
And wasn’t he bickering with Boyce?
Why did they all come to her side?
“Loredana…”
“Slap…”
Armand wanted to hold Loredana’ arm. But Cormac slapped his hand away before he could do so.
He covered the back of his hand, looked at Cormac resentfully, and muttered in a low voice, “You are so petty.”
“What did you say?” Cormac tilted his head and pretended not to hear clearly.
He was not happy because of Charles, and he needed someone to be his punchbag right now.
Armand quickly backed down, “I didn’t say anything, I didn’t say anything.”
But he thought in his heart, he didn’t dare to admit what he had said.
Knock, knock…
That was when the knock came on the door. Loredana turned his head back and looked at Cormac, “Perhaps it’s Simona and Samuel.”
Who else would come at this time?
Furthermore, no outsiders could enter to this level.
Cormac said indifferently, “Come in.”
The door to the room was opened, and he was not Samuel or Simona but the bodyguard.
“Mr. White is looking for Ms. Flores.”
“Charles?” Armand’s eyes widened. Did he have clairaudience? They just mentioned him, and he showed up?
The bodyguard nodded.
Loredana recalled Charles saying that he wanted to rest at the hotel. So, it was not surprising that he showed up in the hotel.
“Did he say why he wanted to look for me?” Loredana asked.
“No, he just said he wanted to meet you and let me inform you.”
“No.” Before Loredana could answer, Cormac refused for her. He had called her out for breakfast by every means possible this morning and let Lacey and Loredana met.
Lacey was clearly not a nice person. Could he take the responsibility if something went wrong?
Was he brave enough to come here? Did he even wish to meet Loredana?
No way.
“Let’s go.” Cormac held Loredana’ shoulder, “Let’s go back to our room.”
It was difficult for him to have half a day off. Even if they didn’t do anything, it was nice to spend time with her.
Did Charles wish to meet her?
No way!
Loredana glanced at Cormac, who was holding her. He was extremely possessive. She couldn’t go out today for sure, “You tell him that I have something to do. If anything, we can talk about it next time when we meet.”
“Okay.”
The bodyguard turned around and walked away.
Cormac was holding Loredana, and as they just opened the door, they heard someone calling from behind them.
“Mummy.” Simona was standing in the corridor. Loredana saw her daughter as soon as she turned around. Simona smiled, holding her painting in her hand, and ran over with her short legs.
“Mummy, do you think my painting is good?” Simona was holding the painting. She had drawn people, but they were abstract. Loredana, on the other hand, understood what she had drawn and what she was trying to convey in the painting.
Loredana squatted down and took over the painting from Simona. She took a close look at it and commented solemnly, “You painted very well.”
“Really?” Simona was excited. Children always have a strong desire to be praised.
Loredana nodded, “It’s real.”
Simona was even more overjoyed. She pointed to the people she had drawn in the painting, “This is mummy. This is me. This is my brother. This is…” When she mentioned about her father, Cormac, she looked up at Cormac and then at Loredana, saying, “This is daddy.”
Simona suddenly became serious, “Mummy, I have a father already. I will be a child with a father from now on. Nobody is going to call me a bastard…”
Loredana covered her mouth before she could finish her sentence. She hugged Simona and rubbed her hair, “Everyone has a mouth. Everyone will say something different. There are a hundred different kinds of you in a hundred mouths. So, you don’t have to care what others say about you. Mummy’s sweetheart, you are who you are.”
Simona nodded heavily and wrapped her arms around Loredana’ neck, “Mummy, I think I’m so blessed now.”
Loredana looked at her daughter. Why was Simona so emotional today?
She gently stroked her daughter’s forehead and raised her hanging hair, “I know.”
She could feel that Simona was more active than before. She wore a smile on her face every day.
She knew that this was the happiness that a child from an ordinary, healthy family would experience.
“Mummy, can you bring me out to play? It’s boring to stay in the room all the time.” Simona whined in Loredana’ arms.
Cormac, who was standing at the door, raised his head speechlessly. Why was it so hard to be staying alone with Loredana for a while?
Why was it that there was always somebody to disturb him?
“Mummy, is it all right?” Simona whined in Loredana’ hug until Loredana agreed to bring her out to play.
“Okay.” Loredana didn’t want to ruin Simona’s good mood. They were rarely this happy, and she had time to accompany Simona, as well.
“Daddy, you come with us.” Simona raised her head, took Cormac’s hand and shook his hand.
She blinked her big round eyes. She was so adorable that no one could refuse her. Cormac, some more would not reject his daughter.
He bent down and picked up Simona, “Daddy and mummy will accompany you today.”
“I’m so happy. So happy.” Simona moved around in Cormac’s arms, scrabbling with her legs.
The dust from Simona’s shoes had gotten on his pants, and there were some obvious white marks.
He could put up with this because this was his daughter, Simona. Otherwise, who else could he put up with?
