When Cormac was thinking of how to get Amanda to change the restaurant, but he saw Loredana and Theresa was walking out instead.
They came early, they already finished their meal when it’s noon and crowded, that was the time when people start coming.
Amanda shouted when she saw Loredana, ‘Mommy!’, the car window was not opened and good car had good soundproofing, Loredana didn’t hear anyone calling her Andrew pulled Amanda, “Did you forget what dad said? We’re coming in secret and we can’t let Mommy know.”
Amanda suddenly realized it, she turned her head and looked at Andrew, “I forgot.”
Andrew seemed like he was already used to Amanda’s ‘out of mind’ personality so he didn’t say anything.
Loredana opened the car door and hopped in, her car quickly drove out of the parking spot.
Amanda leaned on the car window and watched Loredana’ car driving away, she then pouted and said dejectedly, “How great will it be if Mommy knows, that way we all can eat here as a family.” Andrew became more and more like big brother with each time, he stretched his arm and hugged Amanda… He thought at heart that they would all definitely live together as a family.
That was a really bad topic, Cormac didn’t want to discuss that when he was getting in touch with the children, he felt so sad at heart.
He parked the car in front of the restaurant, went down and opened the car’s back door, and carried her daughter out of the car… Amanda was heavy, she had grown taller and heavier.
Andrew didn’t need other people to take care of him, he went off the car by himself… Actually, Amanda didn’t need others to take care of her as well, she could take care of herself, but she was used to acting coquettishly in front of Cormac, and liked to stick to him, liked him carrying her… Even if she was already grown up, but she still liked getting carried by dad.
The restaurant was not that big, the environment was good too, but it was quite crowded at that time so they were in short of seats… Luckily, there were empty seat in the corner, they sat there, Amanda ordered a dish, of course she came here to eat the signature dish Hairy Crab Pot, she also ordered porridge and told Cormac, “Mommy likes this.”
Loredana’ light flavor preference was pretty much like Cormac’s, they both preferred foods that had light flavors, the two children were actually following her taste as well, but then after she was brought out by Theresa for several times and tried strong flavored foods, she started liking those too.
The first time Amanda ate it, she almost cried because it was too spicy for her.
That was not extremely spicy, but she felt that it was spicy because she had yet to eat spicy foods, she would feel that it was not very spicy when she became used to it.
Cormac stretched his hand out and rubbed Amanda’s head, “Order more of what you want to eat.”
She smiled, looking like she was fawning on him, “After the meal, can I have an ice cream?”
Loredana usually wouldn’t allow her to eat too much, saying that it was too cold and not good for her stomach, eating too much of it would make her easily get diarrhea, but summer was indeed the time to eat ice creams.
Otherwise, what would be the joy of summer?
Cormac pinched Amanda’s chin, her face grew more and more similar to Loredana, so lively, she looked like the crescent moon when smiling but her cheeks nose and mouth looked extremely similar to him. He tried to be logical with Amanda, “Your Mommy doesn’t let you eat it for your health, you must be obedient, we won’t eat it for the sake of health.”
Amanda’s expression broke down, the edge of her lips were also down, she then poured and said, “I don’t want to eat much either, Mommy is already so strict on me, does dad want to snatch my little happiness too?”
Cormac frowned, “You’re happy just because you eat ice cream?”
“Yeah, eating something that I like makes me happy.” Amanda went off the chair and leaned on his leg, resting her face on his thigh, and hugged his waist… Cormac had no flabs on his waist and belly, Amanda’s hand couldn’t go around him either, her little hands tugged his shirt, making it crumpled, “Dad, please allow me to… I’ll eat less, okay?”
As long as Amanda acted coquettishly to him, he nearly couldn’t resist and couldn’t say anything to refuse her because he couldn’t bear to see her ‘feeling wronged’ face… He carried her and made her sit on his lap, he then spoke in helplessness and pampered her, “There’s not other way, but you should eat less.”
“Okay.” Amanda frankly agreed, she was okay as long as she could eat it, even if she had to eat less.
Later when the dishes were served, those 5-6 were all what Amanda had ordered, the waiter that served the dishes said, “We provide rice here, call me at any time if you need it.” “We don’t need it.” Amanda waved her hands, she didn’t like to eat rice when eating that, but she then quickly considered her big brother and dad, she looked at them, “Do you guys want?” Andrew shook his head, he didn’t need it, he wasn’t even sure whether those dishes would all be eaten, the Hairy Crab Pot was already in a very huge plate, she ordered the largest portion The Hairy Crab Pot in this place had 3 portions, large, medium and small, people could choose according to the number of people, they consisted of one adult and two children, the small portion was enough but she just had to order the largest one.
Cormac didn’t need to eat rice either, he wanted to try the porridge that Loredana liked, furthermore there were so many dishes, he probably couldn’t eat it all anyway.
When eating, Cormac scooped a bowl of porridge, it immediately melted in his mouth, the millet inside was very well stewed and the shrimp was fresh, but it wasn’t greasy and delicious.
After he ate a bowl of porridge, he saw Amanda’s face full of oil because of her bites, he slightly frowned, took a tissue, and wiped her face, “I’ll peel it off for you.”
Andrew didn’t raise his head, his mouth was full of food, “We should bite this on our own, only then it’ll taste good.”
The crab had shells, else than the crab roes, the legs were full of meat.
“I don’t want to, I want dad to peel it for me.” in front of Cormac, she was just a ‘little baby’ that needed his care.
Andrew looked at Amanda and pouted, he remembered that Amanda was the one who said “We should bite this on our own, only then it’ll taste good.”, she had changed her mind again, he silently thought at heart, hoping that the one in Loredana’ belly would be a little sister, otherwise, Amanda wouldn’t grow up forever because they kept pampering her.
If Loredana had another daughter, then she could get some parts of Cormac’s pampering.
Only then, Amanda wouldn’t be spoilt.
Andrew prayed at heart, hoping that Loredana was pregnant with a little sister, only that way Amanda would have a chance to grow up… Otherwise, later in front of Cormac, she would forever be a little kid. After the meal, he bought them ice cream, there was not much time to eat ice cream either, Cormac sent them back to school, he asked Amanda when they arrived at the school gate, “Will you come again tomorrow?”
Cormac said that he was going to stay there for several days.
Amanda was very happy, she grabbed his face and kissed him before entering the school with Andrew, because she had a meal with dad and even ate ice cream, she was in a good mood that she walked with a bounce.
Cormac stood by the door as he saw the teacher bringing them into the classroom, only then he could turn around and get into the car, feeling at ease… When he started the car engine, his cellphone in the pocket rang, that was a call from Armand, his phone was turned off before, he turned it off because he was in the plane.
After coming to City C, his cellphone was on, Abbott wanted to report things about work to him, he couldn’t let people unable to contact him.
That day Armand and Boyce stayed for half a day in the company, saw Abbott at night, only then they knew he ran away again and was no longer at City B.
Cormac didn’t immediately hide it, that day when he accepted the call in country Y, both Boyce and Armand heard ‘City C’, Abbott also knew, because he was the one who bought the plane ticket. “Where are you?” Armand just asked.
Boyce was busy with work, with the addition of this matter, he must perform well and had no time to go out, he was bored by himself so he wanted to find Cormac.
After all, he basically didn’t need to take control of office, he had time… He wanted to come and seek the truth, whether Cormac had really found Loredana or not. Coincidentally, he also wanted to ask Loredana about Theresa, so he also came to City C.000
At the moment he had just got off the plane, he did not know where to go.
He was unfamiliar with City C as he had not been here much.
When Cormac said that he was in City C, Armand immediately said, “Fetch me from the airport.”
He did not have friends or relatives here, so he could only rely on Cormac.
Cormac raised his hand to look at the time and said, “I will be there in ten minutes.”
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
He called Armand at the airport and told him to come out. He did not have time to get off his car to look for Armand on such a scorching day.
Armand came out of the airport and found his car. After Armand opened the car door and sat in the car, Armand went straight to the point, “Have you found Loredana?”
What else could make him work so hard to travel all the way here?
Only except for Loredana could attract him.
Cormac was serious and he said calmly, “What’s up, do you come finding me just to ask this question purposely?”
“No, no.” Armand explained hurriedly, “Isn’t Boyce busy and I have nobody to play with. So, I come here to find you.”
“Is that true?” Cormac did not believe it obviously. Armand could not fool him as he had recognized Armand for so long.
