When they reached the villa and went inside, Loredana gave him the car keys, “The car is still at the hotel.”
“I’ll have Abbott drive it back.”
Hearing their voices, Simona turned her head to look at them and then quickly slid off the sofa rushing over to meet them. The one she ran to hug wasn’t Loredana, it was Cormac. She raised her head to look at him and said, “Daddy, why did you come back so late?”
She looked at him innocently with her big clear eyes, her small face looking like soft rice cake.
She looked like an angel.
Cormac picked her up and said patiently, “Your Mommy and I went for a dinner.”
Simona’s eyes lit up brightly. Wow! Mommy and Daddy’s relationship was so great.
The two of them also went on dates.
How awesome!
“Mommy, is it true?”
Loredana restrained her emotions and smiled at her, “Yes.”
“So, can I and Samuel also go out for dinner with you guys?” Grabbing Cormac’s collar in her little hands, Simona looked at him expectantly.
Cormac lowered his gaze and glanced at her little hands around his collar which was now full of creases.
He wasn’t angry; he smiled, “Depends on your mommy’s behavior.”
…?
What did he mean?
Simona didn’t understand what he meant. She blinked her round twinkling eyes and asked immediately, “What does that have to do with Mommy?”
Loredana looked slightly uneasy and somewhat embarrassed. She reached out to take Simona in her arms, “Let’s go, I will put you to sleep.”
Simona hugged Cormac’s neck tightly unwilling to go with Loredana.
Coral stood at the door of the room, “Simona has been harping the same sentence the whole day, repeatedly asking when her Daddy will be back. She refused to go to bed and kept waiting on the living room sofa.”
Cormac had denied clearly that these were not his. Coral couldn’t understand why they were so close then.
She believed that the blood was always thicker than water.
If these two children had nothing to do with Cormac, why were they becoming so close to him?
“Really?” Cormac pinched her cheek playfully and Simona lost her mind with happiness.
Shyly, she buried her face into his neck.
Coral smiled, thinking that this was really how a father and daughter relationship should be like.
“It’s late, you guys should sleep too. Samuel is already asleep in your mother’s room.” Coral said to
Loredana.
Loredana nodded, “I’ll go and see.”
“Okay.” After finishing the words, Coral went back into her room.
Just as Loredana was about to open the door to Maxina’s room, Simona said, “I want to sleep with
Daddy at night.”
Loredana frowned.
Without even waiting for her response, Cormac walked upstairs with Simona in his arms casually telling Loredana to, “Will wait for you to come up.”
Loredana wanted to refuse, but seeing Simona in his arms she swallowed her words back down.
She gently opened the door. The room was lit dimly with a bedside lamp. Maxina was still awake with
Samuel sleeping in her arms.
Loredana walked over and checked Samuel injury first. The swelling on his face had disappeared, but his head injury hadn’t healed. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked his face.
“The injury is much better.” Maxina said softly, “Don’t worry.”
She was worried for Loredana.
“You have to think about yourself.” They couldn’t just live here forever.
“I know.” Loredana had thought about it. This was definitely not the place for her to stay in for a long time, but Maria was acting very hostile towards her. Loredana didn’t know what she would do next, so for her children’s safety, she had no choice but to continue living here for now.
“When the situation settles down a bit, then we will go back or find a new place.”
“It’s fine as long as you understand the graveness of the situation. I see Simona clinging on to Cormac too much. If this goes on for long, I’m afraid…”
Loredana was also worried. She reached out and held Maxina’s hand, “Mom, I am also worried, but it looks impossible to separate Simona from Cormac right now.”
At this moment, all of Simona’s attention was on Cormac, and it was impossible to take her away from him.
“I know.” Maxina understood this better than Loredana. The whole day, Simona had been talking about her Daddy like crazy.
She sighed deeply.
“It’s late, go sleep.”
“Yeah.” Loredana glanced at Samuel again.
“Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Loredana stroked his hair before leaving the room. The living room was really quiet, and the wall clock already showed that it was midnight. She took a shower and put on her pajamas before going upstairs.
Cormac had also already showered and was wearing beige-colored casual clothes. Simona was curled up in his arms, her little hands on his chest.
It was Simona’s habit.
Loredana walked over, “I’ll let her hold me and sleep.”
“Okay, if you can move her.” Cormac had been speechless for a long time now due to Simona’s weird habit. She had to put her hands on her chest otherwise she could not sleep.
She woke up as soon as he tried to move her.
Loredana gently tried to move her hand but she woke up immediately, “Mommy, what are you doing?”
“Hug me and sleep.”
“I want to hug Daddy and sleep, but…”
Loredana was puzzled and asked, “But what?”
Simona pouted looking a little aggrieved, “Why are Daddy’s boobies so flat and hard?”
They were unlike Mommy’s boobies.
Both Cormac and Loredana were dumbfounded.
How were they going to explain this?
“Simona, you come sleep with me, okay?” Loredana tried to coax her to sleep with her.
Clinging to Cormac like this was not very good. After all, he was not her father.
They had to be separated sooner or later. They had become so close; it was going to be very painful when the time came for them to be separated.
Simona was struggling in her heart.
She wanted to sleep while holding Loredana, but she was afraid that her Daddy would disappear.
Her little face twisted in thought. Her Mommy was never going to leave her, but her Daddy might stop wanting to be with her. She had to hold him close.
“I want Daddy to hug me to sleep.” Simona snuggled into Cormac’s arms and continued to put her hand on his chest. She muttered to herself, “Mommy’s is softer.”
Cormac didn’t hear her clearly and asked, “What did you say?”
“I said Mommy’s boobies are soft. She also has milk. When I was a baby, I used to eat her boobies.”
Loredana face turned deep red down to her neck.
What was Simona even saying?
People said that children’s words carry no harm, but they forgot that it depends on who is in front of them.
