Andrew nodded vigorously, “I will.”
Amanda who finished the ice cream put down the spoon and crawled onto Cormac’s body and hugged his neck, “Dad, aren’t you going back with us?”
She understood the conversation between her Dad and brother. It seemed like her Dad was not going to see her Mommy.
She couldn’t understand adults’ matters. She felt like her Dad should go to see Mommy, “The baby in Mommy’s belly could move now. Don’t you want to see the baby?”
Cormac stared at his daughter’s face. However, his heart was in a mess. While he was trying hard to control the feeling of how much he missed his wife, his rationality also told him that it was not a good time to meet her before the matter was over. The two forces in his mind were battling. No one could persuade the other. He felt like he was floating on the dangerous waves as he felt so bad in his heart.
Loredana Flores’s face appeared in his mind. The balance in his mind had obviously tilted. He looked at his son, “Help Dad to do something.” “What. You can say.” Andrew was straightforward. However, there was a condition, “You have to promise me one thing if I help you.”
Cormac helplessly looked at his son. ‘This kid is still young but why does he have so many thoughts?’
“Okay, you say it first.” He couldn’t do anything to his own son. He could only promise him.
“You have to come to see us at least twice a week,” Andrew said. This was his request.
In fact, he still didn’t fully believe in Cormac. He was afraid that Cormac would love another woman after separating from Loredana for a long time.
Cormac looked at his son silently. He originally wanted to see them frequently. However, after Andrew said the words, he seemed like a cheater, as if he would not become faithful in love. He moved closer to his son and stared at him, “Do you not believe me that much?”
“You were not being faithful to Mommy once. Therefore, I have to watch you for Mommy to not let her be hurt by you again.” Andrew said seriously.
Cormac was speechless.
“Now it is your turn to talk. What do you want me to do for you?”
Cormac pinched the bridge of his nose. He was helpless towards his son. Could it be that his son was going to remember every mistake he made forever?
“I want to see your Mommy but I cannot let her know.” Cormac put down his hands and looked at his son.
Andrew also looked at him as if he felt like this request was a little bit big. He blinked his eyes and asked, “How can I let you see her without her realizing?”
Cormac hooked his forefinger to his son to ask him to move closer to him. He whispered to him, “After your Mommy falls asleep at night…”
Andrew pursed his lips, ‘Why do they look like thieves if they do this?’
However, it didn’t matter. He still tried hard to see Mommy. This meant he still loved Mommy in his heart. He was happy to help him.
Amanda was happy after she ate the ice cream that she wanted. She kept sticking with Cormac on purpose. She couldn’t understand, “Isn’t it good if we stay together?”
She understood what her brother and Dad had said. Her Dad had to sneak around to see her Mommy.
In her mind, wouldn’t it be better if he directly went to see her? He could see her Mommy as she was at home.
Cormac hugged his daughter and pressed her little face against his chest. His thumb moved up and down on the back of her ear, “Wait for a while. It will be soon.”
They had to wait until Jeffery’s trial was announced and everything was settled. Obviously, it was not a good time now.
The little girl couldn’t understand. She only tightly hugged her Dad, “I want to sleep with Dad.”
Cormac lowered his head to kiss his daughter’s hair. He also wanted to do so. His lips moved to her forehead, “Simona, you have to be obedient. Don’t tell your Mommy that you have met Dad, okay?” Amanda’s eyes blinked and she said with a sweet tone, “I can promise Dad to not tell Mommy. However, Dad also has to promise me that you have to come and see us frequently. You have to buy me ice cream too.”
“Okay,” Cormac answered with a tone as if he was spoiling her.
After about half an hour, Oscar Adams came back. He smiled as he said, “Lola doesn’t allow me to bring them out for too long. Why don’t you come back with us?”
Before Cormac spoke, Andrew pulled Oscar, “Let’s go. He is not going.”
Oscar was smart and he didn’t ask more. If two of them were doing well, Loredana wouldn’t bring the kids here. If they were doing well, he wouldn’t only sit on the roadside. He didn’t go into the place even though he had known where Loredana lived.
He reached out his hand to hold Amanda’s hand, “We have to go now. Later your Mom will be anxious.”
Amanda pulled Cormac’s collar and she didn’t let it go. She felt wronged, “I don’t want to be separated from Dad. I want to stay with him for a little longer.”
Cormac touched his daughter’s face with his hands, “Be obedient. You go back first. I will come to see you frequently.”
Although the little girl was reluctant, she still let go of his collar. She suddenly moved towards him and hugged him to kiss him, “Then, I will wait for you.” Cormac’s heart almost melted after looking at his daughter.
Oscar held the little girl’s hand. In the end, he greeted Cormac, “Then we are leaving.”
“I hope that you won’t tell Loredana about the matter that we met today.”
Oscar said that he understood, “Don’t worry.”
Oscar didn’t say more words and he also didn’t persuade him. They were all adults. They must have their difficulties if they did this.
After Oscar left, Cormac didn’t leave. He took a rest here temporarily while waiting for Andrew’s news.
During the period of time, he asked the waiter to refill a glass of water for him. He leaned on the sofa to rest for the rest of the time. Although he came here in a hurry and looked a little messy, his untidy look still showed strong masculinity.00000
Cormac Mendelsohn left the coffee shop at around 10 o’clock. At this time, the coffee shop was near its closing already, so he couldn’t continue to stay inside.
Boyce Shawn and Armand Bernie had probably never seen Cormac so pitiful like this. He had to make himself look like a beggar just so he could see Loredana Flores. He didn’t even have a place to stay. He went back to the gate of the residence to wait for his son’s message. However, he saw Oscar Adams walk out of the residence instead.
Oscar talked to Loredana about the exhibition, so he came out a little late. He walked over and passed him the access card without saying anything, “You can’t get in without this.”
Cormac didn’t hesitate. He reached his arm out and took it over, “Thanks.”
Oscar thought for a while, “Do you want to take a bath at my place?”
“No, I still have to go back tomorrow,” Abbott Baron gave him a phone call and said that Boyce got into trouble.
He didn’t clearly hear what happened at that time. He only heard Amanda Mendelsohn’s voice, then he hung up. Abbott probably thought that he heard it already, so he didn’t call again.
If it was just a minor matter, Abbott would probably not tell him. So, he needed to go back after seeing Loredana.
Oscar smiled and handed him a business card he took out from his pocket, “If there’s anything that you need my help in, you can look for me. I’m very familiar with city C.” “How are you related to Stanley Lennon?” Cormac asked as he took it from him.
Oscar was stunned for a moment. It had been a long time since someone directly mentioned Stanley in front of him. The smile on his face disappeared, and he became serious, “I was wild and mischievous when I was young. My hands were almost chopped off by someone. He was the one who saved me, so I always followed him afterwards. Then, he…so I helped him watch JK over.”
After he finished talking, he looked at Cormac, “You must be that person Jolene Harris arranged for Lola.”
He used a declarative sentence and not an interrogative one.
At that time, Jolene didn’t allow him to go and find Loredana. She said that she already arranged everything for her. Although Jolene didn’t directly say it, he knew deep inside that this must be the case since Mendelsohn was the surname of both Loredana’ children.
This was also the surname of the family of Jolene’s husband at that time.
It wasn’t hard to guess the situation based from personal experiences.
