She couldn’t persuade Maxina. It was obvious that she was determined to continue living with Garrett.
Whatever she said wouldn’t change anything.
Cormac couldn’t use words to comfort her in this matter. He could only hold her hand and silently comfort her.
Loredana wiped the corner of her eyes, “I’m fine.”
She was too agitated.
“It’s alright as long as she’s happy,” She actually still cared for her. She just couldn’t change Maxina’s mind, so she could only force herself to accept it.
When the car arrived at the gate, Cormac saw the car parked outside the gate. His brows instinctively frowned.
Loredana also recognized the parked car. It looked like…
She and Cormac looked at each other.
They both understood it.
Once they parked the car, they pushed the door of the car open and got down.
Cormac looked a little gloomy as he pushed open the door. Thomas was sitting on the sofa in the living room. As soon as he heard the sound of the door, he looked over. When he saw it was Cormac, he stood up, “Young master.”
“What’s the matter? It’s so late already,” He just randomly asked, but deep inside, he knew that there must be something. Or else, he wouldn’t have come.
To be exact, Jayden Mendelsohn wouldn’t let him come if there wasn’t anything.
“Isn’t it the new year soon? Old master said that you should bring the children over to celebrate the new year,” Thomas pretended he didn’t see Cormac’s gloomy face.
He smiled as he spoke.
“We didn’t even celebrate it together in the previous years,” Cormac helped Loredana take off her coat and let her enter the room.
However, Loredana didn’t listen to him to enter the room. Instead, she looked at Cormac and said, “What if let’s just go?”
“I wasn’t able to give Samuel and Simona the complete family they always longed for. We shouldn’t deprive them of it, now that they can have it. What do you think?”
Loredana knew that Cormac had a problem with Victoria Forbis. She totally wouldn’t be able to convince him if she didn’t talk about the two children.
Cormac pursed his lips.
Loredana continued speaking, “I know you have a problem with her, but you shouldn’t deprive the two children’s reunion with their grandfather.”
“It’s just, it’s just that old master is getting older now. He was supposed to enjoy the happiness in family reunions. In the previous years, you were alone. So old master didn’t want to force you too since you didn’t want to go. But this year’s different,” Thomas agreed.
Cormac still wouldn’t agree.
Loredana sighed. Why was this man so stubborn?
“Then should we ask for the opinions of the two kids, and let them decide on their own on whether or not we should go?” Loredana intentionally said.
Because she knew that both of the kids would definitely be willing to go. It wasn’t because they have feelings for Jayden. It was because the two kids longed for family and the members of the family, namely dad, mom, grandfather, and grandmother.
The more one lacked something, the more one would desire for it.
They lacked a lot of love since childhood.
Although they couldn’t make up for what they lacked in their childhood right now, they could let them feel the warmth and atmosphere in a normal family.
The new year would be the perfect time for a family reunion.
“Just agree on it,” Loredana pulled his hand.
“What if I don’t agree?” He slightly squinted his eyes.
Loredana’ attitude was totally unexpected.
She kept saying that it was because of the children, but he could feel that she really wanted to convince him to go there.
She also seemed not to hate Victoria.
She had always been wearing the bracelet Victoria gifted her.
Both of his hands instinctively clenched.
Loredana bit her lips and suddenly decided, “If you don’t agree, I won’t give you any more children in the future.”
She walked away after she spoke.
Thomas was stunned for a while, then he giggled. He felt that he liked the character that the young madam had. There aren’t a lot of people who dared to get angry and threaten the young master. She was one of them. Cormac coldly stared at him, and Thomas immediately shut up. He didn’t even dare to look around.
“Well…”
“I’ll take them there tomorrow,” Cormac coldly said. Then he glanced at him, “It’s very late already. Hurry and go back now.”
“Okay,” Thomas was happy since Cormac agreed. It would also be easy for him to report it once he got back. However, it was mainly because he thought it was interesting. Loredana actually threatened Cormac.
Cormac returned to the room. Loredana sat by the bed with her back facing him.
“Do you want to go back?”
Cormac stood by the door, not entering the room. He cast a silent glance at her back. Throughout the conversation, he never asked if there was a secret between her and Victoria.
Because if she wanted to say, she would have said at the beginning. She wouldn’t hide it from him until now.
“If you want to, I can do this favor for you.” His voice was gentle.
Loredana stood up, turned around, and looked at him, “I just don’t want your relationship with your family members to be too stiff.”
Cormac didn’t respond to her, “It’s late now. You go to bed earlier.”
Loredana approached him, “Are you angry?”
Cormac looked at her and said after quite a while, “No.”
As Chinese New Year approached, it was bustling and lively there. Every family pasted rhyming couplets and hung large red lanterns in front of their doors. The atmosphere of the Chinese New Year was strong.
Loredana went to the shop the next day, early in the morning. Because of celebrating Chinese New Year, she wanted to give everyone leave for Chinese New Year so that they could rest well during this time. Theresa was feckless and sat in her seat without saying anything. Loredana received Armand’s call last night and was worried that they had a falling out. She walked towards Theresa and sat by her side, “Are you and Armand still fine?”
Theresa looked gloomy and said lightly, “Not bad.”
