Cormac’s expression in the shadowy light darkened and lit up. He turned around coldly, and looked down on him, “I think Mr. White should go be the paparazzi, you’re so concerned about others’ private matters. Staying back in White City would be a waste for such a talent.”
Charles expression changed slightly, but in the dark night, no one could tell, “I am instead curious, Mr.
Mendelsohn, why did you let the two kids follow the last name of the wife? Unless, when Ms. Flores gave birth to them, Mr. Mendelsohn you had no clue at all?”
These few days, Charles had gotten some information from Samuel, it was that when Loredana gave birth to her children, Cormac and her had been divorced.
Therefore, the two children followed Loredana’ last name.
Charles laughed, “I thought I had no chance, I think now I do?”
Cormac’s gaze flickered to the side and noticed that there was a shadow by the door. It was a small shadow, and when the little person noticed that he looked over, he immediately hid himself. He raised his eyebrows slightly, he could already guess who that was, but he didn’t let out that he had noticed anything.
He raised his eyes, his handsome face carried a tinge of coldness, his expression was dark, “That will depend on whether Mr. White has the capabilities.”
Charles laughed lightly, “Any chance is better than nothing, don’t you think so Mr. Mendelsohn? I still stand a chance, meaning that I have to thank you Mr. Mendelsohn.”
Cormac walked over slowly, every step was firm and steady, when he passed by Charles, his lips raised slightly, “My wife, she doesn’t like cripples, if you want to chase her, stand up first.”
Finishing his words, without a second look, he left.
The smile on Charles face couldn’t continue any longer. Not being able to walk, was the biggest pain in his heart.
His fingers on the handles slowly clenched, the veins in his hands surfaced, he was very angry.
Cormac’s footsteps, slowly stopped, even without looking, he knew that Charles’ face was very terrible, “Mr. White, anger is bad for your health.”
With disdain, he continued walking, just when he stepped into the door, he took a look at the door, on the floor was a small shadow. This height and size definitely belonged to a child.
And there were only two children here, Samuel and Simona.
Simona was an innocent little kid, she definitely wouldn’t think of eavesdropping on him, but the other…
It went without saying, it was definitely Samuel.
He sighed slightly, when would this little kid ever clear up his misunderstandings towards him?
But definitely, he had done wrong.
He had abandoned them first, regardless of whether he knew it or not, he was still at wrong.
It was his negligence that had resulted in what happened.
To sooth his anger and hatred, it would require time.
But it’s good that there was still time in the future.
Only when Cormac left, Samuel dared to come out. He looked at the disappearing silhouette at the door, his gaze changed slightly, his hands that were hanging by his side tightened.
After a moment only he managed to return to his calm manner and walked out the door.
He looked at Charles who was by the riverside, and gave him a call.
“Mr. White.”
Samuel walked over.
Samuel was unlike any other five-year-old child. He was thoughtful, and smart. When Charles tried to ask something from him, he had sensed it too. But he was willing to use Charles to let Cormac know that his mum was very popular. If he wanted to chase her back, he had to give both hard work and sincerity.
If not, there were many people wanting to chase his mum. Even though Charles wasn’t able to walk, but he was not bad looking, and capable as well. So, he had used the opportunity when Charles was trying to get information from him, to let him know that Loredana and Cormac aren’t an ordinary husband and wife.
His aim was to let Charles know that he stood a chance to become Cormac’s competitor.
Let Cormac feel threatened.
Charles had thought that he had gotten some advantageous news for himself through Samuel.
What he didn’t know, was that Samuel had been using him, to prevent Cormac from chasing Loredana back.
From this, Cormac would realize the importance of Loredana, and treat her better next time.
Once that happened, they could live together as a happy family.
Charles had thought that he had used Samuel, but what he didn’t know was that he was instead used by Samuel and his cleverness had been overpowered.
It wasn’t that Charles was stupid, it was that Samuel was just a five-year-old child, he wouldn’t have though that a five-year-old child could be so full of tricks.
“The weather is turning cold, why didn’t you put on more clothes before coming out?” Charles kept his anger and put on his light smile again.
Samuel lowered his head to look at his costume, and gave a little laugh, “I was in a rush to come out, didn’t manage to tend to that, is Uncle White alone out here?”
He had asked this intentionally. In fact, he had already overheard their conversation.
“Your dad.” Charles looked at him, “You still have some opinion about your dad right?”
“He had abandoned us in the past, of course I feel something about him, and that something is very strong.”
Charles laughed, “But at the end of the day, he is still your dad.”
Samuel pretended as if he didn’t care, and said coldly, “Who knows.”
He switched the topic, “Uncle do you want me to push you in.”
“No need, I can do it myself.”
Samuel moved to the side to let him pass, when Charles had navigated himself and headed back to the house, he then followed behind him slowly. While walking he looked at Charles, he was using this man to let Cormac know that his mum was very popular, and to treat his mum well, he didn’t want his mum to be together with a cripple.
He would definitely not accept this man to be together with his mum.
Samuel inhaled deeply, even though he was mad at Cormac, he still hoped that he would be together with his mum.
It was only a family when his own mum and dad are together.
He was very clear on this.
But now he was worried, that this thing couldn’t be controlled by him.
He was just a child, and had limited abilities.
His thoughts were wandering when he returned to his room, even though the facilities were old, but it was quiet and suitable for rest.
He jumped onto his bed, and laid down with all fours spread out, and mumbled, “When will mummy come out.”
He missed her.
Creak –
At this moment the room door opened, he sat up instantly, and looked towards the door.
Seeing that it was Cormac, Samuel felt even more anxious, not sure whether it was because he had done ‘something wrong’.
“Why are you here?”
Cormac walked in, and ignored his question. He sat next to his bed, Samuel just wanted to move away, but was instead hugged by Cormac on his shoulder, “Do you really not like me?”
“No.” Samuel quickly denied.
“I know everything that you’ve done…”
“What are you talking about I don’t get it!”
Before Cormac finished his words, he was already cut off anxiously by Samuel.
His small hands that were on the bed clutched his bedsheet tightly, the clean and crisp bed-sheets became crumpled.
He had done everything so discreetly, how would Cormac know anything?
Cormac ruffled his head, “You are using Charles to fight with me for mummy, right?”
Samuel’s eyes widened, his small face wrinkled, his features twisted comically. How would this guy know that he had used Charles to fight with him for mummy?
“You are my son.” Cormac said seriously.
He had heard from Charles that Loredana and him were divorced when they were born, and hence he had immediately knew it was Samuel who had told Charles this.
Loredana wouldn’t have said these things, what’s more there were not many people who knew this, even Boyce and Armand didn’t understand the details of it.
Samuel pursed his lips and stayed silent, but he was obviously agreeing silently.
He could hide from everyone, but he couldn’t hide from Cormac.
Perhaps they were connected by blood, their way of thinking was on the same wavelength, so they could be easily guessed by the other party what he wanted to do.
“Are you angry?” Samuel lowered his head, twisting his fingers.
Cormac lowered his gaze and looked at his actions, his lips lifted slightly, “I’m not angry, I’m just comforted, that you know how to use others to achieve your aim, this is good.”
Samuel almost dropped his jaw, what?
He almost stared at his father with an unbelievable gaze.
“The highest stage of achieving your goals, is that you didn’t participate in it at all, but achieved whatever that you wanted to. Even though you didn’t do it in a very clever way, and was found out by me. But by having these ideas, this means that you’re not too stupid.”
When Cormac was saying this, he looked particularly serious. But when he looked closely at the corner of his eyes and his eyebrows, it can be realized that they carried a hint of laughter.
Samuel was only five years old, and could think of all these, and carried them out, this was considered very smart.
The reason he didn’t praise him obviously was to let him know that all these weren’t enough.
If he praised him obviously, he was afraid he would be too proud.
Samuel gave a huff, unhappy about Cormac’s judgment on him. Everyone that had interacted with him would say that he was smart and adorable, and loved him to bits, why was it that when it reached his lips, it had become not too stupid?
Not too stupid?
