Samuel said angrily, “Men are shit!”
Coral was amused by his words and asked, “Aren’t you a man too?”
Samuel was dumbfounded.
“I am still a child, and I will never grow up to be like Daddy. He is a heartless cheater who abandoned his wife.”
Coral’s eyes widened. He knew that Cormac was his father?
Were Maxina and Loredana deliberately concealing it from Cormac?
Was this some kind of revenge for the divorce? Not telling Cormac that the children in front of him were his own?
“You… You know that he is your father?”
“Of course! He is Mommy’s ex-husband, so he has to be our father. Mommy had never had a boyfriend since the divorce.”
Samuel said solemnly and surely.
Coral reached out to pat him on his head gently, “You are a good boy, Samuel. You all have suffered too much.”
She could very clearly understand how hard it would have been for her to raise two children on her own.
“We didn’t suffer. We had Mommy and Grandma!” Samuel’s expressions slowly fell gloomily. There used to be an uncle too, but now he was gone.
Coral let out a long sigh, “You father will suffer the consequences.”
It was all his doing, now if he was to find out that his children had grown so much, she didn’t know how he would react.
Maybe this was his punishment for abandoning them.
It didn’t take long for the car to stop outside the Mendelsohn mansion. Coral helped Samuel out of the car.
Standing in front of the building, Samuel blinked. This mansion was very big; the villa they lived in was big too, but it was relatively low-key. This one was clearly magnificent.
Coral smiled, “Let me take you inside.”
Samuel hesitated for a while. Mommy still hadn’t told him about his father, was she still angry with his father?
He just came here like this, was his mother going to be angry when she found out?
“What are you thinking?” Coral looked at his confused expressions and smiled, “Don’t be afraid, you are their grandson. They will definitely like you.”
“Really?” Samuel began to look forward to it a bit.
His little heart thumped nervously.
He had always looked forward to meeting his relatives, but all of this was so sudden it caught him off-
guard.
“Really!” Coral held his hand, “Let’s go in.”
Walking along, Samuel felt like a soulless puppet just quietly following Coral.
When she pressed the doorbell of the huge gate, Thomas was watering the grass. He heard the doorbell ring and opened the peep hole. When he saw Coral standing there he was taken aback because when Mrs. Mendelsohn had died, Cormac had moved out of the house. At that time, he was still in junior high and Coral had moved out with him to take care of him.
Cormac didn’t like coming back here much, so she was also only rarely seen here.
Why did she come here suddenly? And who was the little boy next to her?
He looked like…
Thomas opened the gate, put down his watering can and went inside to tell Jayden.
When the door to the study was knocked, Jayden didn’t even lift his head up. He continued to write his calligraphy and lightly said to come in.
Thomas opened the door, “Coral is here.”
Coral?
Jayden had forgotten about her existence.
Thomas reminded, “The servant Mrs. Mendelsohn brought with her when she got married.”
Suddenly remembering, Jayden asked indifferently, “What is she doing here?”
“I don’t know, but she has a little boy with her.” Thomas thought about the child’s appearance, and said in a dignified tone, “The child may belong to Master Cormac.”
He had been in the Mendelsohn family for a long time. He had seen Cormac when he was a child and the child outside just now looked exactly like Cormac’s childhood.
“What?” Jayden looked at Thomas in amazement, “He has a child?”
Why did he not know?
He put down his brush and walked out of the study, “Let’s go and see.”
Thinking about something, he said, “Go upstairs and call her down.”
Victoria was not feeling well for the past two days, so she was resting upstairs.
“Okay.” Thomas went upstairs.
Jayden entered the living room. Coral and Samuel was sitting on the sofa. Walking towards the sofa from behind, he could see a small head. His footsteps faltered for a moment and then his speed increased.
He wanted to see Samuel quickly.
Seeing Jayden walk over, Coral stood up.
“You came.” Jayden was very calm.
Coral nodded, “It has been a long time.”
Although they didn’t live far away, they had few opportunities to meet. The last time was when Cormac had gotten married and Jayden had called her here for questioning.
Jayden sighed feeling like the time had passed too quickly.
“This child?” He looked at Samuel, with his small white face and his bright eyes. His face and eyes…
Samuel also looked at him. Jayden had profound features, white hair on his temples and wrinkles on the corners of his eyes that were the mark of his wisdom. He was wearing a Chinese tunic and his posture was perfectly straight.
Samuel blinked his black sparkling eyes and grabbed the corner of his shirt helplessly. Was this man his grandpa?
Was he dreaming?
It felt like a dream.
Coral didn’t know how to answer, and she hesitated for a moment, “Didn’t Master Cormac got married once…”
His marriage was so short and it had been such a long time so it was a bit abrupt to mention it now.
“Yeah.” Jayden understood.
But he was still puzzled. If this child was really Cormac’s, why did she bring him over now that he was so big?
“It’s like this… Master Cormac divorced Miss Loredana at the beginning. They were born after the divorce.” Coral looked down at Samuel and patted his head, “Miss Loredana might have been upset about the divorce and so she didn’t tell him that they were his children… So, I came here thinking…”
She couldn’t say the words “you could evaluate if he really is Cormac’s child” in front of Samuel.
That would have hurt his little heart.
“They?” Jayden didn’t understand.
There was more than one?
Coral explained with a smile, “Samuel also has a little sister. They are twins.”
“What twins?” Victoria walked downstairs. Her clothes hung on her body and she looked haggard as if she was seriously ill.
“Let us go in the study and talk.” Sensing Coral’s concerns, Jayden asked the servant to entertain
Samuel in the living room, “Bring him something to eat.”
“I’m not hungry.” Samuel said.
Jayden responded, “Okay, then he will show you around.”
“Okay, thank you!” Samuel really wanted to look around the mansion. He wanted to see the place his father grew up in.
He followed the servant expectantly.
Victoria walked down, looking haggard, “What are you talking about?”
