The population in White City wasn’t large, but it was a prosperous city right now. All most all locals were working for the White Group.
Cormac kept browsing and reading. The information about the White Group wasn’t much. Only his ups and downs during the development of his startup company were mentioned. There was nothing about his private life or family information.
“Daddy,” Simona called Cormac in the compartment.
“Shall we stay in the hotel? If so, I’ll get us a few rooms now,” Boyce confirmed again.
Cormac paused when standing up. He looked back at Boyce and said, “Sure.”
Although there was everything in the caravan, the space was quite limited. They couldn’t sleep soundly in the van at all.
“My button dropped” Simona was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed. Samuel was lying on his side, and he was sleeping now.
“Let me see.”
Simona gave the button to Cormac and pointed at her collar. “Here. It dropped.”
“I’ll get you another one.” Maxina packed clothes for her, and all of them were in the closet of the van.
He opened the closet and found one blouse for her. “How about this one?”
Simona shook her head. “It’s my pajamas.”
Cormac kept on searching. “This one?”
“Let me find it myself.” Simona had become quite disappointed in Cormac. She slipped down from the bed and searched all things in the closet. Then she grabbed a blue dress. “I want to wear this one.
Mommy bought it for me on my last birthday.”
Hearing her mention their birthday, Cormac realized that he had no idea when they were born.
Cormac helped her take off the blouse with the dropped button and put on her favorite blue dress. She also wore a small knitted sweater outside, looking quite cute. Loredana was quite good at dressing up with her daughter. She knew what fit Simona.
Looking at his daughter, Cormac thought for a moment and asked, “Simona, when is your birthday?”
“In May.” She pouted. “Our birthday has passed already for so long. I have to wait for my next birthday.”
Cormac reached out to rub her head.
Right then, the van was stopped. Boyce came in. “I’ve booked the room in the hotel, the best one in White City.”
Then he threw up his hands and added, “It’s run by the White Group.”
He couldn’t do anything like most businesses in White City were run by the White Group.
“Can I meet Mommy now?” Cormac held Simona in his arms when entering the hotel. She asked the question as she thought they had arrived at the destination and would meet Loredana soon.
Cormac was a bit taken aback. Then he returned to look normal. “She’s playing hide and seek with us.
She wants us to look for her. Now, we haven’t found her yet.”
Simona pouted. “I see.”
White City wasn’t a big one. It was originally a county, but it was more like a big family, which belonged to the White Group.
The hotel wasn’t a five-star hotel, but it was nice in terms of the environment, hygiene, and service.
Boyce held Samuel who was still sleeping in his arms, followed by a few men who was holding the suitcases for them.
“This is the best hotel in White City. It’s not a big one. I hope you don’t mind.”
Cormac had never stayed in such a hotel before.
“Isn’t this place good?” Simona blinked. She couldn’t understand why Uncle Boyce had said so.
Cormac pressed her head into his arms tightly so that she wouldn’t overhear their conversation.
Simona widened her eyes and stared at Cormac’s face. Her eye corners curled her eyes into the shape of crescents.
“Daddy, you are so handsome.” After finishing her words, she pressed her face in his arms shyly.
Cormac was pleased by his daughter’s words for some reason. Since Loredana was missing, he had never smiled, but right now, he curled up his lips into a smile because of his daughter’s praise.
“Do you like me?”
The little girl answered without any hesitation, “Yes, I do.”
Cormac kissed her hair. She hadn’t washed her hair in the past two days, and the fragrance of the hair shampoo had faded. However, he still felt that his daughter was fragrant.
Walking into the room, Boyce put Samuel on the bed. He checked the environment. Since he knew that Cormac wanted to stay in a quiet place, he had reserved all the rooms on this floor.
Simona hopped up and down in the room. “Daddy, will you bathe me?”
Cormac nodded. “Yep.”
She trotted over and held his long legs. Raising her head, she said, “Daddy, you are like Mommy so much.”
Cormac raised her chin with his fingers. “In what way?”
“Mommy will give me whatever I want.” After answering the question, the little girl hopped up and down, trotting away.
On the other side, Charles got the scald on his back. It was not serious. There were several blisters.
The doctor came over and dealt with the scald for him.
Amelia stood at the door like a child who had made a mistake. Her eyes were reddened, seemingly she shed tears.
Loredana was sitting on the chair next to the bed. “Thank you.”
If he didn’t protect her on time, she would be the one who was lying on the bed now.
“Are you truly thankful to me?” Charles lay on his side on the bed.
Since the doctor had just put the medicine on his back, he couldn’t lie down face-up. Otherwise, the wounds caused by the picked-up blistered would be squeezed.
“Of course.” Loredana was afraid that he would raise any unreasonable proposal, so she added, “As long as I can do it.”
Charlie chuckled. “Don’t worry, please. I won’t ask you to marry me in return.”
Loredana’s mouth corners slightly twitched.
He looked at her. “Please get me a glass of water.”
Loredana reached out to get the water bottle on the desk. Amelia, who was standing at the door, rushed over. “Please let me do it.”
She wanted to make amends for her previous faults by serving Young Master well.
Charles looked at her indifferently. “Amelia, why are you still acting so recklessly?”
Amelia was about to explain. He interrupted her and continued, “Go back to your room and lock the door. You are grounded. Without my permission, you can’t show up in my room.”
“But…”
“No objection.” His voice was cold.
“Who will take care of you, then?” Amelia wanted to stay. “Young Master, I was wrong, It’s my fault.
Please let me stay and take care of you.”
“Amelia, I can’t get angry after being injured. Do you purposely want to piss me off?” His tone became more serious.
Usually, he was quite gentle. Amelia was afraid to see him so cold and solemn. She didn’t object at all, quitting the room obediently.
“You’ve frightened her. She didn’t do it on purpose.” Loredana wanted to put on good words for Amelia.
