“Of course.” Samuel replied without hesitation.
Loredana rubbed his hair.
Right at this moment, her phone which was placed on the bedside table buzzed. As Samuel was close to the phone, he picked it up and handed it to Loredana, “Mommy, your phone call.”
Loredana reached out to take the phone and found that the caller ID was ‘LEO’.
This was the symbolic caller ID of Mrs. William.
Loredana was grateful to Mrs. William because of her appreciation of her ability back then.
At that time, although she had just gotten her graduation certificate, she didn’t have any related experiences. According to LEO’s status in the industry, it would by no means lower its standard to recruit a green hand like her.
Nevertheless, Mrs. William said she felt Loredana was like her young self and let her stay in the company.
It was because of her appreciation back then that she would have the opportunities to get to where she was today in her career.
Therefore, Loredana was quite respectful to Mrs. William.
“I’ve arranged Theresa to come back to China first. She will arrange everything for you and you can come back directly.”
“I see.”
Loredana tucked up the quilt for Simona, walked to the windows and looked out of the windows, yet only to see nothing as it was so dark outside.
Nevertheless, she gradually made up her mind.
Just as what Cormac had said, since she had let go of everything, what was she afraid of now?
She straightened up her back. Now that everything was on the rails – she had her own career, the children had grown up and her mother’s disease had been under control, it would be the same for her to live at the other place.
“Loredana, do you hate me?” Mrs. William was wordless for a long time before asking.
“No.” Loredana replied honestly.
At the very beginning, she had been confused about why she could be the exception. She had never been discontented with Mrs. William especially after learning the story between Mrs. William and Mr.
William.
Mrs. William heaved a sigh as if she wanted to say something, but she hung up the phone in the end.
The phone call had been ended, yet Loredana was frozen to the ground by the window with the phone clenched in her hand. She was still looking out of the window and it was still so dark that she couldn’t see anything.
“Mommy.” Samuel called her.
Loredana turned around. When seeing his handsome face, she smiled, “What are you calling me for?”
Samuel put down his tablet PC, ran over, hugged her legs and started acting cutely, “Mommy, Simona has fallen asleep. Can you help me take a bath today?” Loredana pinched his cheeks and agreed in a pampering sound, “Okay.”
Samuel smiled broadly and grabbed Loredana’ cloth, feeling a bit excited inside. Since his clingy sister was not going to compete with him, he could finally stay alone with his mother together.
If Simona was still awake, she would cling to Loredana, and in this way he would not have any time to stay with his mother alone.
Loredana turned on the lights of the bathroom as well as the tap. And the bathtub was soon filled with hot water.
Samuel had already taken off his clothes and was now completely naked. “The water is prepared…”
When Loredana turned around, she found Samuel had undressed himself as she glanced over his fair and clear body.
Samuel noticed her gaze and was rendered speechless. He quickly covered the place between his legs and flushed, “Mommy.”
Loredana teased him deliberately, “Oh, my son feels shy?”
Samuel flushed even more with his head lowered.
He was really embarrassed at the moment.
Loredana stopped teasing him and walked over to carry him into the bathtub. Samuel hided himself into the water with only his head exposed. Then Loredana squeezed out some shampoo and gently kneaded his hair.
Samuel was quite well-behaved. He squatted in the water quietly and let Loredana help him wash his hair. Looking at the gentle Loredana, he called, “Mommy.”
“What’s the matter?”
Samuel didn’t reply and just smiled.
He made up his mind in heart that he would find a good man who could take good care of his mother in the future.
Loredana deliberately put some foams on his nose, thinking that he was acting naughtily just now as he deliberately called her but refused to tell her the matter. But she didn’t know that her son had made up his mind that he would find a good man for her.
Nonetheless, it was not that easy to find a good man.
On the last day of July, Loredana went back to China with the two children.
As everything in China had been arranged, she just needed to carry luggage like a small quantity of clothes as well as the children.
Unlike Simona who never concealed her delight or bad mood and got very excited after learning that they were going to take a plane, Samuel remained unperturbed. This was the second time for Simona to take a plane and she had once taken a plane at the age of three. Nevertheless, she didn’t remember it.
The little girl was curious about everything and kept groping here and there with her hands.
Loredana could do nothing about it and could only let her play in her embrace. Fortunately, the ones sitting by her sides were Maxina and Samuel, so they didn’t bother the other passengers.
“Mommy, I want juice.” Seeing the airline stewardess serving a passenger juice, Simona reached out her hand.
She was in a baby blue dress today and wore her black hair in pigtails. Her skin was tender and fair and her clear bright seemed to be able to speak.
“What kind of juice do you want?” The airline stewardess stooped to look at the cute girl and asked in a gentle voice.
Simona blinked her eyes and then pointed at the glass with green juice in it.
“This is kiwifruit juice. It will taste a bit sour.” The stewardess introduced the juice to her.
Simona seemed not to detest the sour taste and nodded.
The stewardess handed the kiwifruit juice to her. Probably it was because Simona looked so cute, she asked, “Little girl, what’s your name?”
Simona cracked a smile, baring her white teeth, “My name is Simona Flores. And my Mommy and grandma all call me Simona.”
“What a good name.” The stewardess praised.
Loredana stroked Simona’s hair.
“Your daughter is so pretty.” The stewardess said with a smile.
“Thank you.” Loredana nodded at her politely.
Samuel shot a glance at his sister and then turned his head to look out of the window. It seemed like he didn’t like the stewardess’ accosting at all.
Not long after the stewardess had left with the cart, the captain’s voice sounded, “Ladies and gentlemen, we will arrive in B City of China. Please get prepared. The plane will land at DH
International Airport in ten minutes.”
The plane landed at the airport after ten minutes. Loredana carried Simona who was sleeping in her embrace and Maxina held Samuel’s hand. As soon as Samuel got off the plane, he looked around and studied the surroundings.
‘So this was the place in which Mommy was born.’ He thought to himself.
“I’ll go take the luggage.” Maxina put down Samuel’s hand and said, “Wait for me with you Mommy at the exit.”
“All right.” Actually, they didn’t need to worry about Samuel as he was very thoughtful.
“Lola.” Samson was walking towards them with Theresa by his side.
They came together to pick up Loredana.
Sampson didn’t come back to Country A due to the cancellation of Maria’s engagement ceremony and stayed in China to take care of his younger sister who had been in a gloomy mood.
When he called Loredana back then, he learned that she was going to come back.
Therefore, he came to pick her up together with Theresa today.
“Are you tired? I can carry her.” Sampson reached out, intending to take the child from her embrace.
Loredana shook her head, “No need. I’m not tired. Let’s go.”
Sampson fixed his eyes on Loredana for two seconds before withdrawing his hand. He hadn’t showed a smile after learning that Loredana was going to come back to China.
She had been staying in Country A for a long time and had never said she wanted to come back. She was actually unwilling to come back at that time.
Nevertheless, after having encountered Cormac, she decided to come back to the country.
She said she hated that man, but her behavior showed that she didn’t hate him that much.
And Cormac also cancelled his engagement with Maria.
He believed that the two things must have some relations.
He was afraid of something at the same time.
As Sampson was immersed in his thoughts, he uncontrollably casted his gaze on the two children and his hands that were put beside his thighs were clenched tightly.
If Loredana learned that he had hidden the truth back then, would she hate him?
Witnessing the two children growing up little by little, he felt more and more ambivalent and guilty.
The two children were so cute that everyone would like them.
If he didn’t tell the lie back then, Cormac might have accepted Loredana for the sake of the children.
Judging from Cormac’s actions recently, he definitely would have accepted Loredana because he cancelled the engagement ceremony after encountering Loredana.
It was evident that he had some feelings for Loredana.
If he hadn’t hidden the truth back then, the children would have a complete family.
“Sampson, what are you thinking?” Samuel lifted his head to look at Sampson who was lost in his thoughts and reached out to tug his cloth.
Sampson was pulled back to reality and hastily replied, “Nothing. I didn’t think of anything.”
He looked down at Samuel and reached out to hold up his hand, saying, “Let’s go.”
Samuel took back his hand, “I can walk by myself.”
He didn’t detest Sampson, but didn’t like him either.
Sampson felt a bit awkward and rubbed his fingers.
“Samuel Flores.” Loredana noticed his behavior and called his name, “Don’t be impolite. Sampson is being concerned about you.”
Samuel looked down onto the ground, “I see.”
It was just that he didn’t like his hand being held by Sampson.
“All right. It’s not a proper time to talk here. Let’s leave first.” Sampson walked over and took the luggage cases from Maxina.
Maxina asked with a bright smile, “How are you doing?”
“Quite well.”
Maxina had a good impression of Sampson.
They walked out of the airport with Sampson pulling the luggage cases. Loredana got into Sampson’s car, while Maxina and Samuel got into Theresa’s car and followed behind.
Sampson studied Loredana from the rear-view mirror – she was staring at her daughter who was in sound asleep and looked very gentle.
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, intending to say something to her. But he didn’t say out a word in the end.
Theresa had arranged a residence for Loredana. It was closed to the store so it was convenient for Loredana to commute.
They pulled the luggage into the house after arriving at the residence and Loredana said he had booked a restaurant to celebrate Loredana’ coming back as the furniture and kitchen supplies were all new and they couldn’t cook at home.
Before Loredana could say anything, Maxina had agreed with it on behalf of her.
Therefore, Loredana could not say ‘no’.
They put down the luggage and drove to the restaurant that Sampson had booked.
Sampson booked a big private room in the restaurant. The table was also so big that there were still some seats after the six of them take seats.
“I’ll go to the toilet.” Samuel slid down the chair.
“I’ll go with you.” Maxina worried that Samuel might not be able to find the way.
“No need. I know how to get there.” Samuel waved his hand and walked out alone.
He asked a waiter and soon found the toilet.
After getting into the toilet, he found that there was no children’s exclusive urinal and those urinals for adults were too high for him.
He furrowed his brows and looked extremely troubled.
“Hey boy.” A teasing sound rumbled from behind Samuel.
