Loredana clenched her hands, and her hands were wet and streaming with a sticky layer of sweat. She was trying to leave the two children with Cormac back then. He needed someone to accompany him at that time, after all.
However, she found that she could not do it since she had never left Andrew and Amanda in the past. Loredana felt pain when leaving Cormac. She was afraid that she could not hold on without the two children by her side.
“Can I take Andrew and Amanda to City B for a few days?” Armand explained his intention.
Loredana slowly lifted her eyes and wanted to ask if Cormac was alright. However, she did not ask about him but said in a low voice, “Sure.”
They were also his children.
Loredana stood up, “I’ll go pack a few clothes for them. Come and sit on the sofa for a while.”
“Okay.”
Armand sat on the sofa.
“Do you want some drinks?” Loredana asked.
“I want a glass of water.”
“I’ll get it for Armand,” Amanda was happy.
Loredana looked at Amanda, and she thought, ‘Amanda probably knows that she’s going to visit Cormac, and that’s why she is so excited and happy.’
She turned around and went back to her room. The two children’s clothes were in the closet in her room.
When she opened the closet to get the clothes, the dream she had last time suddenly came to her mind. She remembered quite clearly that Cormac said he missed her in a hoarse voice with a sweat-wearing scent because the dream was so real.
She pondered, ‘Was it only a dream?’
‘Is Armand the only one coming here?’ Loredana wondered.
She began to hesitate, and an unerasable thought suddenly popped up in her mind. She was expecting something and subconsciously walked over to the window as if her brain was not controlling her body. She gently lifted the white gauze curtain and looked out through the window.
The quiet street had a car parked by the road. She had seen the car, but she could not remember if she saw it in the hospital parking lot or in front of the restaurant where she was eating.
Soon she found a familiar figure.
Cormac leaned against the car door with his back facing the light of the street lamp. He was talking on the phone with Abbott, who was reporting to him about the works. Cormac was working online since he could not return to City B. Cormac felt that someone was watching him, and he raised his head to look at the window.
He saw the faint light through the white curtain, but he did not notice her eyes looking at him. He pursed his lips tightly and wondered if it was just a momentary illusion.
At this moment, he supposed Loredana should be in shock at Armand’s presence.
Loredana leaned back against the wall by the window and shivered. She had her hands over her chest. She felt like a boulder had fallen on her chest, making it impossible for her to breathe.
She had to breathe hard to keep from suffocating. And she couldn’t stop the complicated emotions from overwhelming her.
The moment she saw him, she felt happy and worried.
She closed her eyes. It took her a long time to steady her trembling body.
He was not in front of her eyes, so she thought he was still dealing with Jeffery’s matter.
She opened her eyes and reached up to lift the curtain to see him again, but she stopped her movement for some reason.
Her hand stopped in mid-air, and she couldn’t put it down.
She didn’t know what she was struggling with or what she was afraid of. She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to keep her mind clear.
Then she slowly put her hand down.
She took a deep breath, pulled herself together, and walked to the closet to pack clothes for her two children.
Summer clothes didn’t take up much space in the closet. She hadn’t brought her kids on a trip since she came to City C, so she didn’t have a suitcase at home. Therefore, she stuffed the clothes in a duffel bag After she finished packing and came out, Armand was talking to her two children.
When Armand saw her come out, he stood up.
Loredana handed him the bag.
“I’ll bring them back in a few days.” Armand said. Because Cormac was going to White City to see Jayden, he had to take the two children right away.
Cormac asked Armand to tell her that the kids would only be with him for a few days.
Because Cormac knew that Loredana needed those two children around her more than he did. Before she knew who the father of the children was, she preferred to be a single mother and insisted on giving birth to the kids, which was enough to show how much she loved them. Moreover, after she gave birth to their children, she never separated from them.
Therefore, she was more attached to her children than he was.
“I’m okay with them staying with him for more days. And they must miss him too.” Loredana smiled, “Are you in a hurry to leave today?”
Armand nodded, “Yeah.”
She looked at the two children, “Come here.”
“Mommy.” The two children threw themselves into her arms and clung to her legs left and right respectively.
Loredana stroked their heads, “Didn’t you say you missed Daddy? Now you can go see him. Are you happy?”
“Yes.” Amanda nodded her head repeatedly.
“But I don’t want to leave Mommy either.” Andrew rubbed his face against her.
When Armand saw that the children didn’t want to leave Loredana, he reassured them, “I’ll drive you back in a few days. We’ll go first today, for your daddy would like to see you two very much.”
“Mommy…” Andrew was reluctant to leave his mother. If he wasn’t going to see Grandpa, he wouldn’t leave Mommy and let her stay at home alone.
“All right, you guys should go now. And it’s not like you’re not coming back, right?” Loredana handed the children over to Armand, “Please take care of them.”
“I will.” Armand took Amanda’s hand and looked at Loredana, “Loredana, we should go now.”
“Mmm,” said Loredana. As they walked to the door, Loredana thought of Theresa, who had gone to her room, and called out to him, “Armand.”
“Hmm?” Armand turned around.
Loredana quickly shook her head again, “Nothing. Please drive carefully on the road.”
She wanted to talk to Armand about Theresa, but she felt it was inappropriate to do so.
Armand said, “Okay.” He hesitated for a few seconds and thought he should tell her, “Jeffery turned himself in…”
“I don’t want to know anything about him.” Before Armand could finish those words, Loredana interrupted him.
