Loredana was sitting in front, when the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
She took out her phone.
Victoria’s name appeared on the phone.
She took a look behind her instinctively and she saw Cormac Mendelsohn carrying Simona Flores and stroking her hair. He didn’t notice what she was doing, so she pulled down the curtain and picked up the phone.
“It’s me.” Victoria said.
Loredana Flores lowered her voice and said “hum” to show she was listening.
Loredana knew Victoria wouldn’t call her unless something happened.
“Jeffery came home today, I didn’t know where he got the news. But he knew Gambiered Canton Gauze appeared in White City so he came by to question me.”
Loredana frowned, why did he get his information?
She clenched her hands. Was the Gambiered Canton Gauze given by Victoria and used for Theresa’s wedding dress found out by him?
“I think Jeffery will investigate into it, so he might find you, I’m worried…”
Victoria didn’t want Loredana to get involved in this.
She only wanted Loredana and Cormac to be safe. As about Gambiered Canton Gauze, although it was the Forbis’ possession, still less important than the happiness of their life. Loredana took a peak outside seeing Cormac was still carrying Simona and didn’t notice her. She put the curtain down and said, “Don’t worry, it would be alright.”
“You have to be extra careful, now…”
“I’m on something, need to go now.” Loredana knew what Victoria wanted to say, but she won’t change her decision.
After hanging up the phone, she was staring at the phone and rubbing the phone screen with her fingers slightly.
She was thinking what Jeffery would be like?
But from Victoria’s description, she knew he was a tough guy, in addition to his background, hence she had to be careful with him. Otherwise, Victoria might not hide the truth from him that hard.
It was peaceful on the way to City B, and they arrived in City B in the evening.
They arrived in the city center before dinner time and everyone was tired after a long trip. Theresa and Armand took Mrs. Leslie back to their own home. Boyce Shawn had to go back to company to arrange Sampson’s stuff before taking a rest.
Loredana and the Cormac together with the kids went back to the villa directly.
After they got home, Coral and Maxina had already prepared dinner well, they knew that they would come back home today.
When they arrived, the bodyguards and driver helped with luggage. Maxina carried up Samuel when he just came into the room. Maxina checked on him carefully to see if Samuel lost any weight or became higher.
“Where is Simona?” Coral asked Loredana. Cormac was taking Simona back into the house with a gloomy look. He greeted nobody but directly went into the room.
Maxina soon understood he was in a bad mood, so she turned to Loredana and asked, “What’s wrong? He doesn’t look happy.”
Loredana didn’t say anything to avoid Maxina worrying about him, so she told Maxina, “He’s alright, just being tired.”
Maxina didn’t buy it but she knew her daughter wouldn’t want to talk about it more, so she didn’t ask her anymore.
“Come over and have dinner, the dishes are getting cold soon. I will help you with the unpacking.” Coral came over still with apron, and she was smiling all the time after Loredana came back. “Dropping them here, you are free to leave.” Coral told the bodyguards to drop down all the luggage in the hallway.
The wind was blowing into the house after the door opened for quite a while. Loredana took off Samuel’s coat and asked him to wash his hands and get ready for dinner. Samuel did what his mom told him. Loredana took off her coat and hung it on the hanger, and went to wash her hands. She got some dishes from the kitchen and put them on the tray. She was about to send some food to the bedroom. “Loredana.” Maxina was about to ask something.
Loredana looked at her and said, “Yes, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, you can just go!” Maxina shook her hands and walked to the kitchen to get some soup for Samuel.
Loredana felt that Maxina wanted to talk to her. She thought maybe it was the time to have a conversation with her mom as they had been outside for quite a long time. She had to tell her what was going on recently. So she said to Maxina, “Mom, I will go to your room later, I want to talk to you.”
“Sure. I also want to talk to you something.” Maxina said.
“Yes? What is it?”
Maxina thought about it and felt it wasn’t a good time talking about it since Samuel and Coral were here. She didn’t want anyone else to listen to the conversation between them, so she said, “We talk later in my room.”
Loredana nodded and took the food to the room. Simona’s clothing was all on the bed and she was still sleeping. Cormac was sitting beside Simona and watching her.
Loredana signed silently and walked in the room and put the food on the table, said, “Eat something.”
She went to pick up Simona’s clothes and put them on the hanger.
Cormac didn’t move. He had no appetite to eat at the moment, he could not eat anything as he watched Simona’s face. Even though the fingerprints on Simona’s face had faded away, he still could not let go that matter that Simona was slapped by others.
Loredana walked beside him and put her hand on his shoulder. She was happy to see he cared about their daughter so much.
Because she saw how much he cared about their kids.
“Stop blaming yourself, it was an accident.” Loredana said.
Cormac grabbed her hand and Loredana sat on his lap. They were facing each other but saying nothing.
They were quietly staring at each other’s eyes and Loredana wanted to tell him the things about Victoria.
But she knew it wasn’t rational.
If she did so, it would destroy him and wasted Victoria’s years of effort.
She asked lightly, “Are you still angry?”
Cormac nodded.
“It’s not your fault.” Loredana said.
Cormac looked downward and said, “The last six years was my life long regret.”
He missed the time that Loredana needed him the most as well as the kids’ childhood.
“We will be together in the future.” Loredana smiled. He was unfamiliar to her at the moment.
Cormac said it seriously, “Let’s have another baby?”
Because he wanted to witness the period of pregnancy and kid growing up. He was eager to make up the things he had missed. Loredana didn’t lie to him last time by saying she might not be able to have another baby. But instead of letting him down, she said, “Ok”. Cormac hold her waist and put his jaw on her shoulder, her unique scent was filled in his nose.
His voice was low and clear, and the atmosphere was charming, “Will you sleep with me tonight?”
Loredana was speechless.
