“May I take you to find her?” His voice couldn’t help trembling.
He also sounded quite careful.
“No, thanks,” Samuel still refused.
“I’ll call Mommy and ask her to pick us up.” As he said, Samuel switched on his wear phone and dialed
Loredana’s number.
However, the reply he got was: “I’m sorry. The subscriber you dialed cannot be connected for the moment. Please try later…”
Samuel didn’t give up. He dialed again, and he received the same reply: “I’m sorry. The subscriber you dialed cannot be connected for the moment. Please try later…”
Samuel frowned. His mother would never make her phone unable to be connected, and nor would she let Grandma and he lost contact with her.
He couldn’t help wondering what was going on.
“I know where she is. I’ll take you there.” Cormac even tried to please him. He had never done so in his life, but he had done it just now, fully willing.
Samuel didn’t agree.
In his opinion, Cormac kept silent because he didn’t want to recognize him and his sister. He felt heartbroken and he was quite disappointed in Cormac.
Simona didn’t have the guts to agree, either. However, she wanted to agree. Secretly, she tugged her brother’s hand. “Samuel, please let Daddy take us to find Mommy.”
“He’s not Daddy!” Samuel, how had just calmed down, was enraged by his sister’s words again.
Simona shivered in fear. She dared not to utter a peep. She also tried hard to suppress her tears to stop herself from shedding tears. “I… I will not call him that way anymore. I won’t…” she choked between sobs, “I won’t piss you off, Samuel.”
Samuel knew that he had vented his anger on his sister, and he shouldn’t have done that to her.
Feeling sorry, he held his sister. “I didn’t mean it. I’m sorry, Simona.”
“Samuel, I don’t blame it on you. I know both Mommy and you love me.” Simona hugged Samuel’s strong little body. “Samuel, I miss Mommy.”
Samuel looked over at Cormac. After thinking for a while, he gave in. “Do you truly know where my mommy is?”
Cormac nodded. “Yes, I do.”
Samuel thought for a moment. “OK. Thank you.”
He sounded polite and aloof.
The intimacy with him had already disappeared.
Cormac’s expression was stiffened. Soon it returned to normal. He knew that Samuel was indeed mad at him now.
Reaching out, Cormac wanted to hold Simona. After all, this little girl was so clinging to him.
For the first time, Simona took a step back. Then she studied her brother’s expression carefully. She wanted to be held by Daddy, but she was afraid that Samuel would angry with her.
Samuel held his sister’s hand tightly. “I’ll hold your hand. Shortly we’ll see Mommy.”
Cormac’s hands stopped in mid-air and were withdrawn in disappointment. Trying his best to suppress his emotions, he tried to make his voice sound calm. “Let’s go.”
He slowed down his paces to wait for the two little fellows.
Samuel was good at taking care of his sister. When the door of the car was opened, he let his sister sit in first. Then he sat in and closed the door. He helped his sister fasten the seat belt and then fastened his own. He didn’t need any help from Cormac at all.
Looking at their tender and cute faces from the rear-view mirror, Cormac thought that every inch on their face looked like him a lot, but he had never thought so before.
Suddenly, he clenched his hands and grabbed the steering wheel tightly, blue veins popped out on the back of his hands, showing how hard he was trying. The surges of emotions kept attacking him inwardly.
After a long while, he finally calmed down and started the engine. Loredana said she was heading back to the store for something. Therefore, he drove towards LEO Corporation.
…
In the villa…
“Alas-” everyone heaved a sigh.
Victoria was whimpering, trying to use her hand to cover the pain again. Her sobbing from time to time finally turned into a continuous low cry. Her eyes were closed. She bit her fist with her teeth, trying to stop the sob.
As a man, Jayden had good composure and could keep his emotion steady. Helping up Victoria, he said, “Let’s go home. You are still in poor health.”
She looked up to suppress her tears. “I want to stay here-”
Before she could finish her words, she realized that she had acted recklessly. Based on Cormac’s personality, how could she allow her to stay here?
Jayden knew what was in her mind. “We can come over often to see the kids.”
Victoria was still worried. She was quite emotional. “How could he be such an asshole? Didn’t he know what he had done?”
Cormac’s reaction implied that he had really known that he was the father of the two kids.
She could tell that Cormac was far sadder than anyone else in this room just now.
“Tell me. How could I rest assured?” Victoria sighed. “He’s always a smart guy. How could he make such a stupid mistake?”
Jayden patted her on the shoulder. “I believe he’ll figure it out himself. Listen to me. Let’s go home. If you want to see the kids tomorrow, I’ll take you here again.”
To persuade Victoria to go home with him, Jayden continued, “If Cormac’s not at home, you can take them back to our house for a whole day as well. Now we have two lovely grandchildren, we should be happy. Why are you crying? It’s not good for your health either.”
Victoria knew he was happy. Wiping her tears, she said, “I just felt so sorry for the two kids and also
Loredana. As a single mother, she took care of the two children…”
“It’ll be better in the future.” Jayden heaved a sigh. “You’ve worried too much. Listen to me. Let’s go home first.”
Jayden helped her up. Victoria knew that she wouldn’t be able to stay. What Jayden said made sense –
they could come here to visit the kids when Cormac was away, or they could take the kids back to their own house.
Thomas trotted ahead to open the door for them.
Coral sat on the sofa, staring at Maxina. “You shouldn’t have hidden it. You should have told the truth.
Although you are quite unhappy, you shouldn’t have hidden it for such a long time for the sake of the children,” Coral complained.
Maxina looked down. If she had known it earlier, she would have told them the truth.
She also expected that the children would have a father.
