“Samuel.” Loredana stood in the doorway and called to him.
Simona was concentrating on playing the game at the moment and didn’t notice Loredana had returned.
“Mommy.” Samuel walked over with his knitted brows.
Loredana reached out and stroked his brows, “You’re a good boy. You’ve helped mommy take care of your sister very well. So, I want to give you a present.”
Samuel’s eyes lit up, “What kind of present?”
Of course he was happy to have a gift.
Loredana handed the bag to him.
Samuel immediately took it over and pulled out the box inside, “A Rubik’s cube?”
Loredana nodded and teased him, “I heard the boss say it’s tough. I don’t know if you can solve it.”
Samuel looked up at her and continued to take it apart. He wanted to see how challenging it was. He liked to challenge something hard.
After opening it and seeing the thing, Samuel stared straight at it. He then looked up at Loredana, “Mommy, where did you buy this?”
“I went outside and bought it. What’s the matter?” Loredana was confused by her son’s attitude.
“I like it.” Samuel was already eager to try it, “Thanks, mommy.”
Loredana smiled and stroked her son’s head, “It’s good that you like it.”
“I’m going to play it then.”
“Okay.”
Samuel ran into the room and sat down on the sofa, starting to study the Rubik’s cube in his hand.
Loredana got up, seeing that the two children were quiet. She then turned around and went into the other room.
Maxina was still sitting on the sofa, with the laptop on his lap, working on the company matters. He looked busy as he just had been when Loredana left.
Loredana’s eyes were droopy as she walked in lightly with her things in her hand.
After putting down her stuff, she took out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag and gently walked out again.
She didn’t want to disturb him.
Maxina was speechless.
He had been waiting for her for so long. So he was overjoyed when he heard Loredana coming back. As he walked to the door, he found that she had bought Samuel a gift.
To keep Loredana from discovering him, he gently walked back to his room and sat on the sofa, disguising himself as if he was still angry and busy.
He was looking at the computer, but yet he was wondering where she had gone in his mind. She had bought a gift for Samuel, and was there a one for him?
He waited with anticipation for Loredana to come in.
However, she did come in but left again without saying anything.
He put down his laptop and walked back and forth in the room. Why couldn’t this woman come to cheer him up?
Couldn’t she tell that he was unhappy?
Didn’t she care about him?
And why she had gone out again?
Maxina had never been so anxious. Finally, he couldn’t stand it.
He could go to her even if she wasn’t coming to him.
He forgave his wife. After convincing himself, Maxina stepped out of the room and saw Loredana in the hallway.
The sunshine shined in through the French casement. She was sitting on the floor at the corner. Her hands was holding a drawing board and she was sketching a wedding design. She already had the rough outline in her mind and her progress was smooth. Whenever she started working, she would not care of any other things, she even threw her anxious and terrified emotion that was caused by Sampson to aside.
Just as Maxina was going to walk over there, the driver who went out with Loredana just now came to him. Normally, he didn’t have to report that day’s matter to Maxina in person but Armand and Boyce were not around on that day.
He thought that he needed to tell Maxina about the appearance of Sampson.
“I went to the mall with Miss Flores today and we saw Sampson.”
Maxina’s face sank and his face expression looked tensed.
“He wanted to catch Miss Flores but he didn’t get her. I didn’t know that whether he was keeping a close watch over us.”
He didn’t even need to think about it. He must have been hiding in the dark and waiting for a good timing to continue his plan.
Maxina raised up his hand, “I got it. You can leave first.”
They were staying in plain sight while Sampson was staying in the dark. If they wanted to catch him, they must think of a way to let Sampson be exposed in their sight so that he could be caught and they didn’t have to worry about him forever.
He had made up a plan in his heart but Armand was going to marry recently. Thus, he could only postpone his plan of letting Sampson be exposed in their sight.
Just as the driver wanted to leave, Maxina called him, “Please wait for a while…”
“What did she buy in the mall today?” Maxina pretended to be serious but he was thinking in his heart that Loredana had even bought a present for Samuel and so she must have bought a present for him too.
The driver thought for a while and replied him honestly, “She bought pearl, magic cube and lace.”
It seemed like he had heard that Loredana gave Samuel a magic cube as present and it also suited children’s favor.
However, the other two things that she bought which were pearl and lace were obviously not for him.
It meant that there wasn’t a gift for him.
He wondered whether Loredana took him as important person in her heart!
He spoke in his deep low voice, “You can leave now.”
