Before Maxina could answer, Loredana yelled, “Let her go!”
Maxina’s eyes were also red as if she had cried before. Yet, she would not regret it, and she would not even back down after she had made her decision.
“She had been through a lot with me. Our lives were not easy when she was small. So, if it is possible, I would like to request you to take good care of her in the future.”
“I don’t need it!” Loredana’ eyes welled up with tears, “If you still remember our hardships, you won’t remarry Garrett! Since you want to get back together with him, you don’t need to care about me anymore. You just need to be happy!”
Loredana was shaking because she was agitated.
Cormac hugged her tightly, “Calm down.”
“How can I calm down? Garrett only sees interest in his eyes. Who had he loved? He comes over and fawns on my mother now because I got married to you. He wants to have a chance at the moon on a stick. But she just doesn’t get it and believes that Garrett has already turned over a new leaf. Is that even possible?!”
Maxina looked at Loredana, who was agitated and sighed. Then, she turned over and walked away without explaining anything.
When the door of the room was closed, Loredana cried even harder, “Is her heart blinded?”
Cormac didn’t share the same opinion as Loredana. Instead, he thought that Maxina had her intention to do so.
Loredana was so agitated that he was afraid that she couldn’t listen to anything he said.
He could only hug her and physically comfort her.
“He forced my mother to divorce him when I was ten years old, ten years old, how small am I? He sent my mother and I abroad to fawn on the other woman. He didn’t care about us. But she wishes to remarry Garrett just because of his few words. Is she oblivious to the hardships she had endured in the past? Does she forget Garrett’s heartlessness and how he had hurt her?
“Perhaps she has her own thoughts, or perhaps she has some difficulties that she doesn’t want to reveal…”
“What does Garrett have to threaten her with? Even if he has, she can tell me.”
“You’re overly agitated.” Cormac wiped the tears on her face away, “You calm down first.”
He carried her upstairs and let her sit by the side of the bed after he finished speaking. He went to the bathroom to prepare for the hot water. The bathroom was engulfed in a cloud of white mist in a while. He came out, “You go and take a bath to relax. Then, we’ll go and find her again to talk to her. You are so agitated that anything inappropriate you say will hurt her feelings.
Loredana raised her head blankly, and there were still some traces of tears on her cheeks, “Did I say anything out of line?”
“No.” He stroked her messy hair to the back of her ears, “Be obedient. You go take a bath to calm down and have a good sleep. Then, if you think that she shouldn’t remarry Garrett, we can go talk with her again…”
“She had even gotten the marriage certificate with Garrett when I was not there.” Loredana’ eyes turned red again.
“Trust me. If your mother is not willing to remarry Garrett, I have a way to nullify the marriage certificate.” Cormac said softly.
Loredana’ eyelashes were still glistening with tears. She blinked her eyes, wrapped her arms around Cormac’s neck, and looked at him, “Really?”
He smiled and said, “I don’t tell lies.”
Loredana took a deep breath and said, “I’m so lucky to have you.”
Cormac kissed her long hair, “Will you be nicer to me?”
Loredana wiped the corner of her eye and said, “Well, then, I’m going for a shower.”
She swiftly took her clothes into the shower room in a heartbeat.
Cormac smiled helplessly as he stood beside the bed, seemed like their romantic night together will be pushed back again.
Simona woke up when Loredana was still in the shower, she hadn’t had dinner yet and was hungry.
Cormac carried her downstairs to look for Coral.
“Hey, Simona is awake.” Coral walked towards her to take a look, she had just woken up and her cheeks were as red as a ripe apple.
“She’s hungry.” Cormac said casually.
“What would Simona like to eat?” Coral asked.
Simona just woke up, so she was drowsy, the only thing she knew was that she was hungry. “Anything yummy will do.”
“How about some dumplings in broth?”
“Um” Simona said without realizing it.
Cormac carried her to wash her face, to freshen her up so she will become more alert, less sleepy.
The little girl refused to get down, she clung onto Cormac like an octopus, Cormac pampered her and kissed her cheek. “Wish your mother was more like you.”
“Mommy?” Simona looked left and right, “Mommy, where is mommy?”
“Your mommy went for a shower.” Cormac wiped her face and said, “come on, let’s go for some dumplings.”
Coral made some dumplings and an egg, she knew that Simona was greedy when it came to food, so she put in some ketchup and big prawns.
That little girl had a very good sense of smell, she smelled the fragrant aroma of food as soon she entered the living room, she almost drooled, she touched her mouth and said, “I can smell all the delicious food.”
Cormac was speechless.
This nose of hers.
Simona was well behaved today, she helped herself to the food, Coral put a napkin in front of her, she used a spoon all by herself.
Cormac peeled the shrimps for her beside her.
“Daddy, give me a bath tonight and cuddle me to sleep.” Simona said as she chewed her food.
Cormac sighed, his daughter felt wronged in the day and now she wanted to be taken care of. Now if Loredana requested this, he would definitely agree to it.
“Prawn.” Simona opened her mouth for Cormac to put the peeled shrimps inside her mouth.
On the other side, compared to the ups and downs in the villa, Armand and Theresa were considered quiet, since there were not many people in the house, Mrs. Leslie liked Theresa, and they got along well. However, because of their shotgun wedding, their room had not been prepared yet.
Theresa felt that Mrs. Leslie nagged, usually when he wasn’t at home, his room was not particularly tidy.
“Find someone to renovate this place and buy some furniture.” Mrs. Leslie took Theresa’s hand and shoved her card in her hand. “Buy whatever you like.”
Theresa declined, she can’t take an old lady’s money even though she was not that rich, she had some savings in her account. She said, “I can pay for whatever I would like to buy.”
“You got married hastily, the new room isn’t ready for you yet, the bridal shower, gifts and ceremony are not ready either, I know you don’t want this, but I insist.” Mrs. Leslie was reasonable, “This money is from Armand, I am unable to finish spending it myself, so I accumulated them.”
Mrs. Leslie leaned towards Theresa’s ear and said, “It’s not a small amount, if you’re not used to living with an old lady, you may buy a place you fancy, move out and live with Armand.”
“I’m not moving out.” Theresa had no idea why she felt inexplicably sour, she was so old, and she was still putting her needs in front of hers, why should she be selfish and leave Mrs. Leslie alone here by herself.
