She clenched her hands. She wouldn’t regret it once she had made her decision.
Loredana still wanted to ask Coral about Jeffery.
She had stayed in the Harris family before, and she would definitely know Jeffery. She heard Maxina’s voice just as she was about to start asking.
“Lola.”
Maxina had just finished bathing Samuel. Maybe because he was tired from the car ride, he had gone to bed and slept now.
Maxina had something to say to her daughter. So, when she saw Loredana was in the kitchen, she called her.
Loredana recalled that she had something to say to her. She put down the apple and walked out, “Mum.” “Follow me inside.” Maxina turned over and entered the room.
Loredana followed her in. After she entered the room, Maxina said, “Close the door.”
Loredana shut the door and sat by the side of the bed, and asked, “What do you want to say to me?”
Maxina clenched her hands. She didn’t know how to say it to her, or if she did, Loredana would definitely object.
“Are you and he still fine during this period outside?” Maxina decided to ease the atmosphere first before telling her. Loredana knew who Maxina had mentioned.
She just happened to want to tell Maxina her decision, “He and I are fine. I decided to be with him.”
“Nice.” This was what Maxina wished for as well, “After all, he is the father of the two children. Perhaps your fate was destined from the beginning. You’ll return to the original point after experiencing so many things.”
They had been engaged since they were children, and she gave birth to his children accidentally.
Perhaps everything had been predestined in some way.
“Lola…” Maxina was about to say something, but she paused with hesitations.
“Mum, you say whatever you want. I’m not an outsider. I’m your daughter.” Loredana grasped her hands.
Maxina looked at her daughter and plucked up her courage, “I decided to remarry Garrett.”
Loredana couldn’t believe her ears. Maxina’s words hit her like a thunderclap, and she felt as if she had been poured with cold water from head to toe and her entire body was numb. Maxina grabbed Loredana’ hands immediately, “Lola…”
Loredana shook off Maxina’s hand abruptly and stood up. She took a few steps back, with her trembling lips, “Do you forget that how he forced you to divorce him and sent you, who were pregnant, abroad and didn’t even care about you?! You tell me that you want to remarry him now?!!”
“He used to be a bad person before. But, while you were away, he paid me frequent visits. And he was regretful about the things before…”
“Do you believe this?!” Loredana cut her off with a stern tone. She scratched her hair furiously. How could this happen?
“Mum, how can you easily put your trust in his sweet words? You have to be aware that he had abandoned you, as well as Beulah. He is a heartless person. How can you still believe in his sweet words?” Maxina remained stern, with her lowered head, “I’ve already decided.”
Loredana leaned against the wall and looked at Maxina, “So, you’re just informing me today?”
“You can say so.” Maxina clutched her own hands tightly, and a frosty glint flashed across her eyes. She was guilty to her daughter, “I’m sorry to have you suffer with me…”
“You know I don’t care about this. I’m afraid that you’ll be hurt by Garrett again!” Loredana didn’t expect that Maxina would want to tell her such a thing.
“I know.” Maxina approached Loredana. She wished to grab her hand but was shook off again.
Loredana turned her head and was reluctant to look at her.
Maxina’s fingers were bent as she slowly drew her hand back, “I’ve already decided.”
There was no room for rebuttal. Loredana refused to agree, leaving Maxina with no choice, “I’ll move out today.”
“Why are you in such a rush?” Loredana couldn’t understand how she could forgive him this easily for causing her such pain.
“Did you already forget about Jeremy?” Loredana didn’t want to talk about it, but she tried to persuade her when she faced Maxina’s insistence.
Maxina’s heart trembled for a moment when she heard this name. She didn’t forget, and she wouldn’t forget for the rest of her life. But just because she couldn’t get it out of her head, she wanted to remarry Garrett.
She clenched her fists. Her son’s death would be a nagging pain in her heart forever. But for Loredana, she was more guilty.
“Our marriage certificate has already been done.” Maxina continued to say.
Loredana wiped her face and smiled disappointedly, “Have you made up your mind?” She sniffed, “As your daughter, I’m not in a position to criticize you. But after so many years of sharing our lives and depending on each other, shouldn’t you ask for my opinion?”
“I’m sorry.” Maxina didn’t know what she could say to her except these words.
“You don’t need to apologize to me. This is your business, and I have no right to interfere. You just do what you wish to.” Loredana waved her hand. She was not able to stay here any longer. She was afraid that she would act out or say something inappropriate to Maxina.
“Lola…”
“Stop saying anything.” Loredana walked out of the room with a stumbling gait.
She couldn’t accept Maxina’s decision. But she knew that she couldn’t change her mind based on her attitude.
She drank the entire glass of water that was on the table. She was not sure that when the water was poured and it was already cold.
She shivered, and her heart was broken as well.
She couldn’t understand Maxina’s decision.
Why did she want to repeat it after knowing that Garrett was dangerous and risked repeating all of her previous hardships?
“Why?” Loredana supported her body on the table with her hands.
She was not sure when a broad palm held her shoulder. She slowly raised her head.
“What’s the matter?” Cormac wiped her tears away.
She was not sure why she cried even harder after he wiped her tears.
Her tears were rolling down one after another.
She threw herself into his arms, and her shoulders shrugged nonstop.
Cormac stroked her back and comforted her silently. He couldn’t ask her about anything if she was like this.
Maxina opened the door and saw them in the living room. She lowered her eyes, “I’ll put you in the trouble of taking care of her.”
She then carried her bag and walked out.
“Where are you going?” Cormac asked.
And it was so late now.
