Cormac pinched her daughter’s tender face and spoke.
When talking, he looked at the bottom of the table. He saw Loredana’s legs, her ankles did not have any obvious scar.
Where did she hurt herself?
When waiting for their meal, Charles talked with Loredana, “Are you free tomorrow? Can I take you to see the master?”
“I am free,” Loredana said without hesitation.
If she could persuade the master to follow her back to City B, it benefited her business.
Furthermore, she also wanted to settle the issue as soon as possible and brought her children back.
“Okay, I will arrange it,” Charles smiled.
Cormac showed a discontented expression.
He did not drink any water when eating. If the children were not there, he would bring Loredana to leave because he did not want Charles to know that he did not have a normal marital relationship with Loredana.
After eating, Charles looked at Cormac, “Thank Mr. Mendelsohn for your treat today.”
Cormac stared at him coldly, “You’re welcome.”
Charles found that Cormac was not happy since Loredana agreed to meet the master that excelled in making tea silk. He would like to stir up trouble. He looked at Loredana and said, “I will pick you up at the hotel tomorrow morning.”
He glanced at her legs when talking, “Wear flattie tomorrow, the master lives in a remote area, the road was not that smooth.”
“I know it,” Loredana did not thank him for reminding her because she knew that he said it purposely.
She turned to look at Cormac. Surely, he showed a worse expression.
Obviously, Charles said that purposely.
“Mommy, hug me,” Simona stretched her arms and wanted Loredana to hug her.
Cormac hugged her waist, “Daddy hugs.”
Her leg was injured, not sure whether it was badly injured or not.
Simona curved her lips, “I want mommy hugs.”
She did not see Loredana for a long time, she wanted to stick to her mother.
“Good girl,” Cormac kissed her daughter’s forehead,” I will buy something delicious for you later.”
“Really?” Simona asked.
“Yes.”
“Alright, then daddy hugs me. But I want to sleep with mommy.”
Samuel held Loredana’s hand and looked at Cormac, he said, “Mommy, I also want to sleep with you tonight.”
Cormac was speechless.
Loredana agreed without hesitation, “Okay.”
She missed her children too after she was separated from them for so long.
They went upstairs. Loredana bathed the two children and changed their clothes. They rolled on the bed and played in their pyjamas.
Loredana wore the bathrobe provided by the hotel after bathing because there were no clothes for her there.
“Mommy.”
The two children rushed towards Loredana after she went out of the bathroom. Loredana hugged them, three of them hugged each other. Simona looked up, “Mommy, if you want to play hide-and-seek again, you must bring me. I don’t want to separate from mommy again.”
Loredana hugged her daughter tightly and promised that she would not leave them again.
Outside of the house, at the end of the corridor, Cormac stood in front of a French window. The riverside could be seen through the window. The bright light and faint pearly lustre reflected on his face and reflected back. His contour was dark and blurry. His back was straight and wide. His waist was thin, he did not have much flab. It connected with the compact hip, the outline was balanced and fit.
He put one of his hands in the pocket while another hand unbuttoned his clothes. He said calmly, “Don’t have any trace at all?”
Boyce shook his head, “No, I think he must hide now. If he wants to survive, he must leave here. If he still wants to take revenge, he must seek for appropriate timing.”
Sampson was missing. He was like a time bomb, no one knew when would he appear.
He was a dangerous person.
“We don’t have many people, just ask two people to trace him, the remaining stays,” there must be some people to protect his children and Loredana.
“Ok, I will arrange it,” Boyce left.
Cormac stood by the window alone and seemed to meditate. After a while, he took out his phone and called Abbott. He asked Abbott to find up Charles’s background and his business, the White Group.
Abbott agreed.
After hanging up the call, he went back to his room.
He opened the door, he could see the dim lighting and it was a piece of silence.
The children were tired after playing, they slept in Loredana’s arms.
Loredana worried that they would not sleep well, so she turned the light off. There was only a dim bedside lamp on.
Cormac shut the door and walked in, he stood by the bed.
Loredana leaned against the bedside and lay on her side. The children’s head pressed her arm. Simona lay in her arms and put her hand on Loredana’s chest.
It was Simona’s habit.
He bent and lifted the corner of the blanket. Loredana’s legs were revealed. She did not sleep soundly, she could feel a sense of coldness. Then, she moved her legs subconsciously. Then, she opened her eyes slowly, she saw Cormac by the bedside. She wanted to sit up but the children slept on her arms.
She did not want to move and disturb them. She asked him softly, “What are you doing?”
“Where do you hurt your leg? Let me see,” he touched her legs after saying.
Loredana moved backwards, she bit her lips, “My leg is recovered now.”
Cormac looked up at her, after a while, “I want to know the truth.”
Loredana did not speak anymore, she surrendered.
Cormac sat by the bed and put her legs on his legs, he asked, “Which leg?”
“Right leg.”
She felt itchy when he touched her leg. The sense connected to her heart and she felt something.
Her hand held the bed tightly.
Cormac lowered his head and examined carefully. He found a wound on her leg, her ankle was a bit red, “How do you get injured?”
“I sprain my ankle when escaping,” Loredana said honestly.
“Is it painful now?”
Loredana shook her head.
Cormac put her leg down. He went to the toilet and soaked a towel in hot water. Then, he wrapped her ankle with the towel.
The warmth penetrated her skin and entered her bloodstream. She felt warm and her hand held the bed even tighter.
Cormac sat on the bed again. He held her legs and massaged her ankle gently.
He seemed to ask unintentionally, “Are you familiar with Mr. White?”
Loredana shook her head, “No.”
“Then why do you agree to go out with him?”
Cormac did not want to admit that he was not happy with that.
