Make him happy. That was a way to repay him for his love and care.
If they were still in Country A, Sampson would fell very happy. But he felt much heavier now.
He could feel that it was not because she loved him but because of his care for her in these years that
Loredana said yes now.
In other words, she was just paying him back.
The more she acted like this, the heavier Sampson felt in his heart. After all, he lied to her.
What would she do once she found out the truth?
He dared not to think about it.
“Loredana.”
“Em?”
Loredana turned to look at him and before she could see his face, she was taken into his arms and held tightly.
He held her tightly, as if he was sacred he would lose her at any moment.
Loredana didn’t move and didn’t try to break free either. She just stood there in silence. She could feel the complicated emotions bursting in Sampson’s heart.
She thought it was all because of her. So she reached her hands out to hug him and pat his back,
“Starting from now, I will try to be good to you”
As for his mother, she would think about it later.
Sampson’s body froze.
She would be good to him?
He buried his head in her neck, “I am afraid that you will be good to me now.”
Once she knew the truth, she would hate him as much as she was good to him now.
“I drive you to the shop?”
“No. I am just back and want to walk around for a while. I can go to the shop by myself.” Loredana said plainly.
She meant what she said. Though she had no good memory here in this place, she had a special bond to it.
“Okay then. When will the branch shop open? Remember to send me an invitation card.”
“Okay.” Loredana smiled.
Watching Sampson getting in the car, Loredana took in a deep breath. She began walking on the road. It was early August, and the weather was still hot. Sweat began oozing from her forehead.
“Care for a drive?” A taxi driver pulled up beside her and tried to make a deal.
Loredana turned around and saw the face of the taxi driver. Her face changed. Wasn’t he…
A face, which was as the same as that of this man, quickly popped into Loredana’ mind. When she had the car accident, it was this man who had raced towards her driving the truck.
She still could clearly remember the thrilling scene and her heart still fluttered with fear whenever she thought of the accident. This was also the reason why she could still remember it clearly.
At that time, the police drew a conclusion that the car accident was caused by the failure of the truck after investigation.
The cab driver died and she herself was injured in that accident.
Although the truck driver was not mainly responsible for the accident, he should bear the relative liability.
As she was injured and was brought to a foreign country by Sampson back then, she was not clear about the follow-ups.
Although it was caused by a brake failure, that man, a driver, actually had raced towards other’s car without making any remedies to reduce the damage.
This point alone was enough to leave her a bad impression on him.
But she was curious about why such kind of driver could still drive a cab.
“Lady, are you going to take the cab?” The man asked again, seeming to have no impression on
Loredana.
Loredana pulled a long face and said in a cold voice, “Can people like you be a cab driver?”
“Oh, what did you mean?” Terry Holmes felt weird. He was just a cab driver. It was fine if she didn’t want to take the cab, but why did she speak rudely?
Loredana didn’t want to haggle over the past as she and the children were all right now. Nevertheless, she detested such kind of person very much.
Loredana ignored him and continued to walk along the road.
Terry followed her driving the car, “Yuck, what did you mean just now? Please make it clear. I don’t know you. Don’t you think it rude to comment a person casually?”
Loredana knitted her brows. She didn’t want to make a fuss about the past, but why was he pestering her now?
She paused and said, “I don’t want to mention about the past. Please don’t follow me, okay?”
After finishing the words, Loredana strode away.
Terry stepped on the brake and watched Loredana’s leaving with a dumbfounded look.
Judging from her words, apparently she knew him. Nevertheless, he didn’t know him.
What’s more, her attitude and her angry look all proved that she knew him.
Could it be that she was an acquaintance of his elder brother who had died?
Terry gritted his teeth tightly and drove the car slowly to follow Loredana.
He wanted to figure out what was going on.
Loredana hailed a cab and then went to her store.
She didn’t notice that someone was following her.
Loredana had viewed the plan of the siting and decoration of the store and now she came here to have an on-the-spot investigation. Actually, the decoration project of the store was almost completed.
“Lola.” Theresa walked over and handed her an architectural drawing.
The store was located in a prosperous area in City B. Although Mrs. William decided to establish this branch store under the instruction of someone, LEO Corporation was her career and she would by no means treat it perfunctorily.
They had carried out market research and thought carefully about the location and decoration of the store.
“All things here are customized so they might be delivered a bit later. But it won’t be too late. Estimately all the things will be delivered to the store next week.”
Loredana nodded, “Thank you for your efforts. It must be hard for you.” All the things here were basically arranged by Theresa.
“It’s not hard.” Theresa smiled.
When she was refused by LEO back then, it was Loredana who gave him the opportunity to stay in the company.
Although she was just Loredana’ assistant now, she had learned a lot.
Moreover, Loredana was quite kind to her. She had helped her a lot and taught her a lot without any reserve.
“You must feel fatigued after the long journey. Come back and take a rest. I’ll handle the matter here.”
Loredana pondered for a while and replied, “All right. I’ll come back first. Call me if there are any problems.”
The two children just arrived at an unfamiliar place, and Loredana was worried that they might feel unaccustomed.
Loredana walked out of the store. As she had just gone back to the country, she still had no car and could only travel on foot or by taxi. She stood by the roadside and waited for a cab.
Terry, who followed her here, started the car when he saw her standing by the roadside alone and stopped in front of her.
“Lady, do you know my elder brother?”
When Loredana saw his face again, her face immediately darkened. This person was following her?
“What are you talking about?” Loredana said unpleasantly.
She just went back to the country, but came upon such a noisy person. Moreover, this person was following her!
How could she be in a good mood after experiencing this?
Terry was not annoyed by Loredana’ attitude. Instead, he explained patiently, “You acted like you knew me just now. But I’m sure that I haven’t seen you. So the one you mentioned was definitely not me and
I guessed you might be mentioning about my brother. He died six years ago and they said he died of suicide. But I found it was not the truth.”
Loredana took a step backward, “Your brother?”
She felt very confused at the moment.
He died?
The truck driver that crashed into her had died?
Fearing that Loredana would not believe him, Terry produced his wallet, in which there was a group photo of him and his elder brother. He took out the photo and handed it to Loredana, “Look. The one in the right is me, and the one in the left is my elder brother.”
Loredana reached out to take the photo. She glanced at the photo and then at Terry.
Terry and his brother looked quite alike. Loredana thought carefully of it again and concluded that the truck driver looked more alike Terry’s brother.
“Your brother had died?” Loredana asked in an incredible tone.
Terry’s expressions tensed up when mentioning about his dead brother. He nodded seriously, “He had uremia and the treatment required a large sum of money. Our family didn’t have too much money, so curing him was just a forlorn hope. Nevertheless, one day he posted ‘I have money now’ in his
Moments and attached a photo with some words ‘I’m a rich’ on it. Nevertheless, such kind of an optimistic person suddenly committed suicide. Don’t you think it weird?”
He had been investigating into this matter but hadn’t found out any convincible evidence.
Loredana’ reaction offered him a breakthrough.
“It’s really weird that he committed suicide after posting the texts telling that he was rich.” By rights, having money meant that he was hopeful to be cured and therefore he should have the hope to live.
Why did he choose to commit suicide?
