“Really?” Simona was a bit excited, “Is Mommy playing hide and seek with us? So we should go find her, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Whoa! I’m so happy!” Simon twisted her little body excitedly in his arms. However, Samuel wasn’t so delighted as her, “It’s so good to be a child.”
Simon heard it and turned to glare at him, “You were just born only a few minutes earlier than me. You are not that older than me. Even Grandma said you are the extra one.’
Samuel frowned, his whole face wrinkled, “Grandma said you are the extra one.”
Maxina walked out of the house. She wore an apron and put her hands in front, “You guys, come on in.
Time for dinner.”
“Grandma, Samuel is the extra child, isn’t he?” Simona asked quickly to prove what she said was real.
In her opinion, whoever asked first would be proved right.
It was quite easy to read the little girl’s mind. She was simpler than her brother and she didn’t think much. Maxina teased her with a smile, “You are the extra one.”
Simona was unhappy, pouting, “Why isn’t Samuel the extra one? He’s so… hateful!”
Samuel snatched Daddy’s embrace from her.
Hence, Simona decided that Samuel was hateful.
She took a glance at Cormac and said, “It was because, in the beginning, there was only one baby in your mommy’s belly. Later, another one was found. Isn’t the one found later the extra one?”
Simona wasn’t convinced, “That one should be Samuel. He is the extra one!”
“But Samuel was born first…”
“I don’t care. Samuel is the extra one.” Simona acted shamelessly. She played at being cute while wrapping around Cormac’s neck tightly, “Daddy, is Samuel the extra one?”
Cormac lifted her and rubbed her hair, “Neither of you is.”
“Come on. Let’s go for dinner.” Maxina pulled Samuel’s hand.
“I want to take them both out for a trip. Loredana is missing them.” Taking the chance that the atmosphere was lively, Cormac told Maxina that they were going out.
Maxina agreed, “OK.”
She sensed something wrong, but she thought that she had overthought.
Seeing that both kids, especially Simona liked Cormac so much, Maxina wished that he could form a family with Loredana. Hence, it was not bad for them to be together more and develop family affection.
“When will you come back?” asked Maxina.
Cormac had no idea when he would be able to find her. He said, “Not decided yet. I want to take them out for fun. I don’t want to be interrupted, so we wouldn’t contact anyone domestically.”
Maxina nodded, “I see. When are you leaving?”
“Tonight.”
“That’s so soon.”
“Yeah.” Cormac didn’t explain, as he didn’t want to waste any time.
“Go ahead to have dinner. I’ll pack the clothes for the kids.” Maxina took off the apron and walked to the kids’ rooms.
Cormac took the children to wash their hands. Simona was quite clingy to him. She wanted to remain in his arms, unwilling to get down. Cormac held her to wash and back to the dining room, letting her sit on his lap.
Coral served the dishes and asked, “Hasn’t Missus come back yet?”
The way how she addressed Loredana had been changed again.
In her opinion, since Loredana gave birth to two children, she should be Missus of the Mendelsohn family now.
Cormac picked food for Simona. Without raising his head, he hummed.
He didn’t want to talk about Loredana at all. The more he spoke about it, the easier others would find something wrong.
Coral always took care of him, so she knew him very well. She had realized that he wasn’t willing to talk about this matter with such a tone. Hence, she didn’t keep asking sensibly.
“Daddy, eat this.” Simona picked up a piece of broccoli with her spoon and reached it to Cormac’s lips.
The little girl blinked, her eyes full of expectation.
Cormac opened his mouth and ate the broccoli. Although he didn’t have any appetite now, he still slightly chew it.
“Do you like it?” Simona smiled happily, “Mommy’s broccoli is yummier!”
Cormac had a solemn face. Both kids kept mentioning Loredana all the time, so he could tell how deeply they loved Loredana.
Samuel cast a glance at his sister. Pressing his lips, he lowered his eyes, stuffed a few bites of food in his mouth, and put down the chopsticks. He didn’t have any appetite since Mommy hadn’t be found.
“I’m full. I’ll go check if Grandma has finished packing.” After that, he slipped down from the chair and walked to his room.
“Samuel, why did you just eat that little food?” Simona looked at her brother. Although they always argued or fought with each other, they cared more about each other.
“I’m full, Simona.” Samuel smiled at her.
“Samuel, you are not the extra one,” suddenly Simona said to him seriously.
Samuel smiled.
After dinner, Boyce came over with his men and cars. Knowing that Cormac would take both kids along, he had prepared a caravan for them, so that the kids could have good rest on the wall. Besides it, there were three off-road vehicles and seven men skilled in fighting, and they were trustworthy.
When Boyce saw Samuel, he said, “Cormac, he looks like you so much. Look at his eyes and nose.”
“How about me? Do I look like Daddy?” Simona asked while raising her head.
Boyce squatted down, looking at the little girl carefully. She was quite fair. Her eyes were bright. When she blinked, her eyes looked like sparkling stars. Reaching out, he pinched her cheek. Before his finger reached her face, his wrist was grabbed. He looked up and saw Cormac’s cold face.
Boyce was confused, “I just want to pinch her cheek. I know she’s your daughter. How can you be so petty?”
Wasn’t it normal to touch their hair, pinch their cheeks, kiss them, and hug them when teasing children?
Besides, he didn’t want to kiss or hug her.
Cormac shook off his hand, “Don’t touch her with your hand.”
Simona was a girl. He felt disgusted if her face was touched by someone especially a man.
He held his daughter in his arms and pulled his son’s hand, “Let’s go if everything is ready.”
After finishing his words, he walked away.
