The corners of Cormac’s eyes crinkled with a smile; his fiery gaze was fixed right on Loredana chest with a touch of playfulness in it. He said, “Really?”
Simona nodded innocently, “Of course.”
The corners of his mouth were curled into a smile and his eyes twinkled with impish charm as the light reflected in them, “I can’t believe you. I have never touched it, and I can’t tell by looking.”
“Mommy, let Daddy touch…”
“Cormac!” Could he be more shameless?
He couldn’t even restrain himself in front of a child.
“You are going too far!” Loredana said in embarrassment, wishing for the ground to open and swallow her whole.
“Your daughter said it!” Cormac’s smile deepened, “Why are you getting angry at me?”
Loredana trembled glaring at him angrily.
“She is just a child! What does she know? If you hadn’t led her on would she have said that?”
Cormac spread his hands, relieving himself from any responsibility.
“Your daughter started it.”
Simona shrank with fright. She could clearly see the anger on Loredana face. She had never seen her
Mommy so angry. Her eyes turned red and tears began to fall.
Loredana coaxed her quickly, “Simona, don’t be afraid. Mommy isn’t angry at you.”
Simona continued to sob softly.
Loredana hugged her and patted her back, “Simona!”
She kissed her hair, her forehead and her face, “Simona, baby, Mommy didn’t mean it. I didn’t shout at you; did I scare you?”
Simona nodded.
Loredana continued to comfort her, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. I won’t yell at you.”
Simona wiped her tears and looked at Loredana, “I’m sleepy.”
“You can hug me and sleep.”
“Can we sleep here with Daddy?”
Loredana couldn’t answer.
Thinking that Loredana was unwilling, Simona’s eyes turned red again and she wanted to cry.
“Okay.” Loredana agreed. She lay down on the bed and opened her arms to let Simona crawl in. She lay on one side of the bed, with Simona being small and Loredana being slim, they didn’t take much space on the bed. The bed was wide and a lot of space was left for Cormac.
He lay down, staring silently at the ceiling.
“Simona, do you not want Daddy anymore?”
Nestled in Loredana arms, Simona seemed to have heard him in a daze. She said dully, “I do.”
She wanted Daddy.
But she had become really sleepy and didn’t go over to him. Loredana covered her ears to prevent her from listening and patted her back gently to make her sleep.
Simona hummed and groaned, and pressed deeper into Loredana embrace.
Loredana hugged her tightly.
Cormac turned sideways, his gaze resting on Simona’s little soft hand that were touching Loredana chest.
Even though he couldn’t touch it, he could feel what it would be like just by looking. A storm of emotions was raging in his heart.
Perceiving Cormac’s fiery gaze, Loredana pulled the quilt over to cover Simona’s hand and then closed her eyes pretending to sleep
She was not sleepy right now but she didn’t want Cormac to touch her, so she pretended to sleep.
Cormac sighed, silently cursing his bitter life.
Even though they were lawfully married but he still couldn’t touch her.
He turned over to lay on his back and looked up at the light on the ceiling with a deep gaze, unable to hide the throbbing.
Loredana actually fell asleep while pretending to, but Cormac tossed and turned over in the bed, unable to fall asleep.
Suddenly he sat up and stared sideways at the mother and daughter.
He said bitterly in his heart, “Are you two here specially to make my life hard? It’s like I killed your family in the last life so you both are here in this life to torture me.”
He was a healthy man and he hadn’t touched a woman in a long time. Of course, his body was going to react when he saw Loredana lying there.
He sighed and got up to take a shower, hoping to dissipate the evil fire in his body.
He didn’t sleep until dawn.
By the time he woke up, Loredana had already gone to the store to make the final arrangements for the opening tomorrow.
Cormac left without eating the breakfast that Coral had prepared.
Coral wanted to take Samuel to the supermarket and asked Maxina if it was alright, “I will keep him safe, and the driver will be with us.”
They all lived together and Maxina couldn’t refuse her, “The injury on his head has still not healed, so come back soon.”
“Okay. Do you need anything? I will buy it.” Coral beamed happily.
“No.” Maxina smiled back.
Samuel was sitting on the sofa looking at Coral. He quivered as his round eyes widened. She knew perfectly well that he was injured but still wanted to take him to the supermarket?
Why did it feel fishy?
Coral had thought about it since last night, that after Loredana and Cormac left for work, she was going to take Samuel to Jaden’s place.
She felt uneasy not knowing whether these children were Cormac’s or not.
This matter was stuck in her mind and she couldn’t sleep or eat well.
“I am ready, let’s go.” Coral smiled, “You still have injury on your head, let me pick you up in my arms.”
“No, I can walk by myself.” Samuel wanted to see what Coral was up to.
He had only lived here for a short time, but he was sure that she was not a bad person and it will not be dangerous.
“Okay.” Coral led him to the hallway to help him change his shoes and then took him out.
The driver asked, “Are you going to the supermarket?”
“No. Go to the mansion.”
The driver looked back at her and then at Samuel, seemingly understanding her intentions. Then he turned his head back and drove quietly.
Samuel asked deliberately, “What is the mansion?”
“It’s your grandpa’s house.” Coral was subconsciously sure that they were Cormac’s children.
She felt that Loredana was not that kind of an easy woman.
Is she had a man, then why would she be together with Cormac?
Samuel understood that the mansion was the home of the heartless guy’s father.
Now he felt more at ease.
“By the way, do you know why my mom divorced him?” He never addressed Cormac with anything other than him or you.
Because in his heart, even though Cormac was his father, he still abandoned his mom and sister. He didn’t want to acknowledge him.
So, he only called him using pronouns.
Coral’s face darkened a bit. Thinking about Cormac’s attitude at the time of divorce, it was a little hard to talk about. After all, Samuel was a child and he would feel sad knowing such a thing.
“Please tell me.” Samuel tugged at her sleeve acting like a stubborn child, “Please, please!”
Coral had no choice left, “Your dad had a girlfriend at that time… so…”
“He was married and had a girlfriend?” Samuel knew that there must have been a reason behind the divorce but he had never expected it to be cheating. What girlfriend? Just call her a mistress. He thought.
