“Do you want to have some kebabs? I can ask my mum to give you a lower price.”
Although Loredana didn’t like to eat those kind of food, she took out her cash and gave it to the little girl.
“I don’t eat this. The money is for you to buy some tasty food.”
The little girl blinked her eyes. She dared not to receive it when she was looking at that much of money.
“Miss, what did you give me money?”
She was looking at the little girl. She saw herself in the past through the little girl when she and Maxina stayed in Country A. At that time, they were having financial hardship to support their living. The little girl was just like her who was also staying up late at night in the cold wind and she did all that just to earn a little money for food.
Thus, she felt sympathetic when she saw the little girl.
“It was because that your situation was similar as me and my mum in the past.”
The little girl blinked her eyes and asked, “Did you sell kebabs like us before?”
Loredana shook her head, “I didn’t sell it before but I worked for others and helped them to skewer the meat on the kebabs.”
The little girl smiled and it showed up her rows of white teeth. She took over the money from Loredana. “I
will help you to go and take the kebabs.”
The little girl was running to the kebab stall. Loredana’s gaze became tender when she saw the little girl’s running back.
In her opinion, her life must be better after getting through the hardest days.
“I’ll go and ask Loredana to come back.” Armand couldn’t bear with it anymore. Loredana had stayed outside for a few hours in the cold winter, he was afraid that she would freeze out there.
Maxina did not change his mind.
“Aren’t you heartbroken for her?” Armand stared at him inconceivability.
Didn’t he love Loredana so deeply? Why was his heart so hardened at the moment?
“Tell me, why did the little girl appear?”
Maxina did not moved his gaze.
Armand barely considered before he said, “She was just a kid. I think maybe she saw Loredana sitting there alone for a long time and she was curious about so she ran over there to talk to her.”
Maxina turned his head and looked at Armand, “He knows her well.”
“What’s the connection…” When his words stopped halfway, suddenly, he understood what Maxina meant. There was a possibility that little girl had some connection to Sampson.
“Loredana is so kind.” Armand said that because he saw Loredana was giving money to the little girl.
Maxina didn’t say a word. However, his face seemed that he was not in a good mood. Loredana’s gaze seemed that she had thought of something when she was giving money to the little girl.
In his opinion, it must be some parts of the little girl that had made her recall of something.
After half an hour, the little girl ran to Loredana with kebabs in her hand. “Miss, here you have.”
Loredana stared at the kebabs which were still hot. She had been frozen for hours so she actually really wanted to take a bite on it. Thus, she took the kebabs and took out one of the kebabs and bit off the meat on it. There was a smoky smell on it and it did not have the greasy taste like it was fried by oil.
“Thanks.” Loredana smiled, “It’s tasty.”
The little girl pulled her arm, “You gave me so much money so my mum said that she wanted to show appreciation to you but she can’t just left the stall now. Can you go with me?”
“Go and tell your mum not to mention it…”
“Then I will give you back the money that you gave me.” Just as the little girl was speaking, she took out the money that Loredana gave her from her pocket.
Loredana pressed on her hand, “Since I have given it to you, it can’t be returned to me. You can ask your mum to buy a new cotton-padded jacket for you with these money. Then, you will feel warmer and not getting cold when you come out to company your mum in the stall.
“No, I can’t just simply take your money. It is also fine for me to receive it but you have to accept my mum’s appreciation.”
The little girl was very stubborn. Loredana had no choice but to accept her request. She thought that Sampson probably wouldn’t be there at that moment of time.
There were still customers at the period of time and the little girl’s mother was still busy with her business. When she saw that the little girl had pulled Loredana over there, she wiped her hands on her apron. “Did you give money to my daughter?”
Loredana raised up her hand that was holding kebab, “The money is for the kebabs.”
“But the kebabs don’t cost that much of money, you’re too kind, no wonder the gentleman likes you so much and was so eager to ask my daughter to pull you over here.” The woman was having a ponytail.
She looked ordinary and she seemed like a kind person.
However, Loredana was puzzled and then she asked uncertainly, “What gentleman?”
“It’s me.” A man who was sitting in front of the kebab stall and eating a kebab stood up of a sudden. He turned his head and then Loredana managed to see his face clearly.
Sampson Herbert?
She stepped back with alarm immediately.
“Miss, Sir said he likes you a lot and I like you too.” The little girl said innocently.
Loredana lowered her head and looked down at the little girl’s innocent face. She clenched her hands tightly, he had even used a kid!
“How come you have become like this?!” Loredana scolded him in anger.
“You are the one who forced me to do so.” Sampson himself felt that he was clever, “You had a falling out with Maxina? I told you long time ago that people who have hurt you won’t love you sincerely.
There is only me who love you with my whole heart and soul.”
He patted his chest and gritted his teeth when he was speaking. He looked so sinister.
Loredana had figured out that what was happening at the time. It was most likely that Sampson was afraid that there was a trap so he purposely placed the little girl to her front in order to make her recall herself in the past so that her alertness would be lower and follow the little girl to go there.
“Look at it, I know you well, right? I can just lure you in by my little simple technique.” Sampson was so happy and proud of himself on the fact that he knew her well, “I’m the only one who knows you truly and I really loves you sincerely…”
“Was that so?”
There was a commotion in the darkness as Maxina who was in a black suit and an overcoat walked over under the protection of bodyguards. The bright shinny waving light flashed across his face.
His strong poise which placed everyone in the state of shock was just like a net that entangled all their gaze. He just ignored all that and walked to Loredana’s side. Then, he placed her into his arms.
His gaze swept over Sampson’s stunned face and then he sneered at him, “Finally, you are willing to show up?”
Sampson looked around and he found that he was surrounded. His face was grim and sullen, “You all did that purposely?”
Only at that time did Samson realize that he was trapped.
Armand stretched his trouser pocket, “You can’t be forgiven as you have made all these mistakes. You can’t escape from your own sins. Sampson, you will not be able to escape today.”
Out of the blue, Sampson laughed out loud continuously.
