Loredana couldn’t help but bitching about him inwardly. He indeed had a lot of requirements, did he?
She gritted her teeth, “Charles.”
“I liked it.”
He smiled brightly.
Loredana wanted to retort him, wondering why he said so.
However, for the sake that he saved her life, she kept silent.
When Amelia came in with the dishes, she heard Charles laugh. She couldn’t help but glance at
Loredana. Young Master didn’t only treat her so well but also laughed so happily because of this woman.
Amelia wondered who the heck this woman was.
What was her relationship with Young Master?
In confusion, Amelia put the dishes on the tray table.
“I don’t know your favorite food. Let me know if you want to eat anything. I’ll ask the chef to cook for you,” said Charles.
Loredana, however, wasn’t willing to bother him much. She would pay back his favor sooner or later. She didn’t want to owe him too much. Besides, she wasn’t picky about food, so she didn’t have anything that she hated to eat particularly.
“I’m not picky. I’m fine with anything.” Loredana smiled.
It was obvious that she was distancing herself from him. Charles didn’t get angry. He said, “All right. If you need anything, feel free to tell me.”
“Sure.”
After lunch, Loredana felt quite bored when lying on the bed. She looked out of the window, wondering how she could get in touch with Samuel.
She wondered why Charles refused to lend her the phone.
What was his intention?
“This way, please.” She heard Amelia’s voice outside the door. Then Amelia came in followed by two workers. They were holding a fish tank.
Amelia said to them, “Put it next to the bed.”
After installing, the workers left. Loredana asked, “What’s it for?”
“Young Master said you can’t get off the bed, so you must be quite bored when staying in the room. He found those rare fishes for you to kill time.” Amelia stood in front of her bed and said enviously, “Young
Master treats you so well.”
She had never seen Charles treat another person so well, and Loredana was a woman.
Loredana looked at the fishes in the water. There were three in total, with bright colors and weird looks.
She had never seen such fishes in the aquarium before. They were absolutely rare and priceless.
She wasn’t delighted, though. No merit, no salary. He treated her so well, and she felt quite uneasy.
“Ms. Flores, aren’t you happy?” Amelia asked when she noticed that Loredana was still expressionless even without a trace of a smile.
“Yes, I am.” Loredana forced a wry smile.
“Ms. Flores, have you met Young Master before?” Amelia asked the question that had been bothering her a lot.
She had been working for the White family for a long time, but she had never heard of Loredana, and nor had she met Loredana before. If Young Master treated Loredana so well after meeting her just one, it didn’t make sense, did it?
Loredana shook her head, “Why?”
“I just feel that Young Master treats you too well. If he didn’t know you, why would he treat you so nicely after saving you?”
This matter also confused Loredana.
She reached out and played with the fishtail, and the fish sneaked away.
Loredana was quite curious about Charles, but she didn’t show it on her face. She said in an indifferent tone, “Didn’t you say that your young master is a nice man? He’s just helping me till the end.”
Amelia wasn’t convinced for the reason that the young master was a nice man. She believed that there should be other reasons.
“Or what? Tell me. Why has he done so?” Loredana looked up at her gradually.
Amelia was speechless.
“Forget it.” Amelia didn’t get the answer, so she was upset. She turned around and walked out.
Loredana pulled out a tissue to wipe off the water from her hands. She lifted the quilt and got off.
Supporting herself with the nightstand, she relied on the uninjured foot, moving towards the door bit by bit.
She could tell that the house was quite huge. She was staying on the first floor. Since Charles couldn’t walk, she didn’t think he would stay upstairs. Amelia was away, and there was no one in the big living room.
Loredana saw a landline phone on the corner table next to the sofa.
Her eyes were lit up. It was a chance for her to contact Samuel. She looked around. After ensuring that there was no one around, she held the wall and moved towards the landline phone.
She moved into the living room smoothly. With one hand supporting the sofa, she reached the other hand to get the phone.
“I’m sleepy.” Simona’s hands grabbed Cormac’s collar tightly. She wanted to sleep but couldn’t because of the unknown place.
Her body kept rubbing in his arms.
Cormac held his daughter more tightly, stroking her back with his big palms. He coaxed her extremely patiently, “Good girl. Let me hold you to sleep.”
Simona pressed her little face on his chest, feeling that Daddy’s embrace was truly warm. She could feel how strong her father was under the clothes as well as his temperature, “Daddy, will you dump
Mommy and us again in the future? I don’t want to part from you. I want you to live with Mommy,
Samuel, and me together, just like other kids’ families. They have father, mother, and grandparents…”
The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. In the end, he could hardly hear her.
Cormac lowered his head. The little girl had hidden her face in his arms completely. The corner of her eyes that exposed was with tears.
“When I saw other kids in their fathers’ arms or be pushed on the swing, I envied them so much…”
Since she was born, there were only Mommy, Samuel, and Grandpa in her world. There was no father figure in her life.
After meeting Cormac, she liked him and was clingy to him because she was afraid that he would dump her again.
Then she would become a girl without her father again.
