It hurt.
Cormac was the happiest person here. There was a smile on his mouth and his eyes lit up. What could be more proud than having his wife and children be complemented by others?
“Grandma, we better go now.” “Or there will be no more food left,” Armand dragged her.
“All you think about is food. If you couldn’t get a wife, I’ll have your guts for garters!” Ms. Leslie said directly and seriously.
Armand chuckled, “If you have my guts for garters, who will then take care of you?”
“I won’t need you to take care of me. I can go to the old folks’ home instead.” Ms. Leslie made it clear.
Loredana chuckled as she now undoubtedly knew that Armand actually shared the same temperament as his grandmother.
They were both funny and cheerful.
That was actually a good temperament. Even her hair was nearly completely grey, she appeared more energetic than most of the youngster.
Loredana turned around with the kid in her arms and was about to walk upstairs as she noticed Theresa who stood near her looked dull.
“You take care of them first,” she said as she handed over her daughter in her arms to Cormac.
She desired to talk to Theresa alone.
When Cormac took up his daughter and murmured into Loredana’ ear, “You are so capable that you gave birth to two children in one go.”
Loredana raised her eyes to him. He was such a silly man.
He held his daughter in one hand and his son in the other and took a quick step back as if he hadn’t just spoken anything. “All right, let’s go.”
“I’ll go with you.” Boyce kept up his pace. They would have to wait until another day and there was nothing special to do so he would like to find something to pass the time, “We four can just form a group.”
“What do we form a group for?” Samuel inquired.
“Of course to play a card game,” Boyce answered.
“If you want to play, please just go out to play,” Cormac frowned.
Don’t set a bad example.
“I’m just kidding,” Boyce said with a smile.
“Let’s both play a game name ‘sharpshooter’, Boyce.” Samuel let go of Cormac’s hand and dashed over to Boyce. He’d recently found a fascinating game but he had no one to play with him.
Boyce was intrigued when he heard the name, “Okay.”
The two persons shared the same interest, so they went upstairs first.
Downstairs, Loredana approached Theresa and said, “Can we go for a stroll outside?”
Theresa nodded.
There was a breeze outdoors, so Loredana snuggled as the two women strolled beside the road.
In their ears, they could hear the wind whistling.
Loredana did not speak first as this was Theresa’s personal problem, and she had no idea how to let it all out.
After a while, Theresa finally opened his mouth and said, “Armand and I are actually pretending.” “We were drunk and accidentally spotted by you. I was embarrassed, so he came out with a suggestion to pretend to be in a relationship,” she admitted.
Loredana realized something was wrong when Armand’s grandma came over, he did not introduce Theresa to her.
“How’s your opinion then? As I think Armand…”
“He’s not my type, we faked it.” Theresa made it clear.
Loredana did not say anything further as she sometimes believed that Armand liked Theresa. But all she could do was respect her decision.
Only the individual involved could tell whether that was suitable or not.
She could only express her concern instead of intervening in the matter.
This was a form of respect.
“Whatever decision you made, I will support you for sure,” she said as she wrapped her arm over Theresa’s shoulders.
Theresa grinned. She liked Loredana because she spared her feelings.
Buzzed ——
The mobile phone in Loredana’ pocket rang at this moment, she took it out and checked the caller ID…
It was Charles who called, and she was inexplicably a little nervous. For some reason, when she thought of Charles, she thought of Lacey.
“You answer the phone then. I’ll go back first.” Theresa thought Loredana didn’t answer the phone because she was around.
Loredana hesitated because she was afraid that Charles would talk to her about Lacey. She didn’t want to get into that again.
However, Charles was very persistent. It seemed that Charles wouldn’t hang up until she answered the phone. Her phone kept ringing.
Finally, she took a deep breath and pressed the answer button. Soon Charles’ voice reached her, “Did you leave today?”
Loredana said, “I will leave tomorrow because of something.”
“Then let’s meet today,” Charles said.
Loredana stood on the roadside. She looked down at her shoes, “I have something to do. I’m afraid …”
“You’re leaving tomorrow. Aren’t you going to say goodbye to me?”
Loredana was silent.
“It’ll only take a few minutes,” Charles added.
After all, they had known each other for a while. Since Charles said so, she couldn’t refuse him again and could only agree, “You come to me.”
“I’ll have someone pick you up. I can’t come to you now.”
“Forget it then, you tell me where you are. I’ll take a taxi there by myself.” It would be a hassle and a waste of time to have someone pick her up.
“Wait for me at the villa. I’ll be back soon.”
Loredana said after a moment of silence, “Okay.”
She walked to the side of the road to get a taxi. After waiting for about ten minutes, she finally got a taxi. When she got in, she gave her address.
Half an hour later, the driver pulled up to the villa and Loredana paid for the ride and got out.
Charles notified Amelia in advance. As soon as Loredana got out of the car, Amelia walked towards her.
She smiled and said, “Hello, Ms. Flores.”
