“Please check whether they are damaged.” The deliveryman raised his head to look at Loredana.
Coming back to her senses, Loredana quickly signed her receipt for the deliveryman, “Could you help me put it in the house?”
She couldn’t manage to carry this box in herself.
The deliveryman replied, “Sure thing.”
Loredana wasn’t intentionally making things difficult for him. She was simply worried that she had received something dangerous. The weather was very hot outside, she retrieved a bottle of cold water from the fridge and passed it to him, “Thank you for your hard work.”
The deliveryman gave a smile, and took the bottle from Loredana, “No worries, this is our job.”
After the deliveryman left, Loredana closed the door and walked to the living room. Looking at the box of green carrots on the table, she reached out to take one out. The leaves were still on it, and it looked particularly fresh. She went into the kitchen to cut one up. It was red inside, and very crunchy. She didn’t have to peel the skin, it came off with a slight scratch. She took a bite, it was not spicy, and it carried a hint of the taste of carrots. This is because in the polystyrene box was a cling wrapper. The carrot tasted refreshing, particularly suitable for this weather.
Click, there was a sound of the room door unlocking. Loredana turned around to take a look. Very quickly, Theresa walked in. Seeing that Loredana was sitting at the table eating carrots, she frowned. She thought to herself, ‘has she gotten addicted to that?’
She changed her shoes and walked over, reaching out to flip open the box on the table. In it were a whole row of fresh carrots. She looked at Loredana in surprise, “You bought so much? Can you finish them?” Chewing on the carrots in her mouth, Loredana shook her head, “I didn’t buy these.”
The carrot was crunchy, and munching sounds came from Loredana’ chew. Theresa was very curious, are raw carrots so delicious?
She went into the kitchen, took the other half which Loredana had cut and took a bite. There was no taste of the rawness of carrots. Although it wasn’t very yummy, but it was also not bad-tasting. She walked out of the kitchen, “If it’s not you, who bought these?”
Loredana knew it in her heart, and she raised her head to look at Theresa, “I’ve only told you before that I wanted to eat this, who else have you told?”
Theresa was speechless.
She pulled the chair and sat down, smiling, “Your husband is pretty thoughtful.”
She had only told Cormac before, so it could only be him who would have bought this.
She couldn’t deny that this guy is cool on the outside, but warm on the inside.
He is pretty thoughtful towards his wife.
“Although he is not by your side, but he is still very concerned about you.” Theresa said smilingly.
Loredana wasn’t too happy, it wasn’t because he had sent her some food, but it was because of what happened the whole day.
“Have you given him the things?” She asked.
Theresa shook her head, “Not yet, he said he will come over, it seemed as if he was not in B City.” She felt that, if he was in B City, she would send it over to him. But he had asked for it to be left here. Loredana frowned, if he wasn’t in B City, where did he go with the two kids? Would they be in danger? Logically, once they have settled the matter with Jeffery, there should be nothing else at the moment.
“What’s wrong?” Theresa asked in worry, “I noticed that the colour of your face has not been good since you received that parcel in the afternoon. What is actually inside?”
Although Loredana had given her the parcel, but without Loredana’ permission, she still wouldn’t look at it.
“You take a look at it yourself, then you will understand.” Once Loredana thought of those photos, she felt her mood sink. Although she knew that there might be a possibility that it was fake, but the photos looked too real, as if it had really happened before.
She was also a woman, it was impossible that she would not be affected.
Unless she didn’t love Cormac. But she did. If any wife saw her husband’s photos on bed with other women, it was impossible that they wouldn’t feel anything.
At the end of the day, she was also a woman, just an ordinary woman.
Loredana felt very tired, emotionally tired. She got up, “I’ll head out for some fresh air.”
Theresa reminded her, “Don’t come back too late, just walk around the area.”
She agreed and walked to the porch to change her shoes. At this moment, her handphone in her pocket rang, on it was a string of unknown numbers, without a name.
She had changed her number since she came to C City, there were not many who knew her number. What’s more, she had saved the numbers of those who knew her. If there was occasionally a strange number, they were usually advertisements. She hung it up, and when she put it back into her pocket, it rang again. She wasn’t in a good mood, but this person kept disturbing her. She answered in a huff.
“Hello.”
“It’s me.”
Because she was in a bad mood, Loredana didn’t listen clearly to whose voice it was. She asked in annoyance, “Who are you?” Charles took a look at his phone, wondering whether he had heard wrongly. He seldom saw Loredana angry, who had triggered her? He put the phone back next to his ear and said, “I am Charles.”
This time it was Loredana who looked at her phone, surprised that Charles had called her, “How did you find out my phone number?”
“I know where you are, is it even difficult to find out your phone number?” Charles laughed bitterly, “Are you unhappy that I’m contacting you?”
Loredana sat on a stool for show-changing at the porch, and explained, “No, it’s just that I’m not in a good mood.”
“Why are you not in a good mood, can you tell me?” Charles asked.
“You phoned me, there must be something going on right?” She wouldn’t tell other people why she was in a bad mood.
Why would she advertise Cormac’s indecent photos?
She would be crazy if she did so.
“There’s indeed something going on, that’s why I called you out of the blue. Were you going to hang up on me?” Charles laughed.
Loredana pursed her lips without saying anything.
Charles voice passed through again, “Make a trip to White City.”
“I’m afraid I don’t have time.” Loredana rejected him abruptly.
She really had no time for that. On one hand it was because of the matters at the shop and factory. On the other, it was the matter about Cormac. Charles gave a bitter laugh, it was what he expected but he couldn’t help feeling disappointed.
“We’re still friends, right?” Charles suppressed his sadness and smiled, “If I’m sending you an invitation to my marriage, are you still not coming?”
What?
Had she misheard?
Charles was getting married?
“Really?” Loredana asked uncertainly.
“Of course, would I joke around with this? Are you feeling sad because I’m getting married with another woman?” He asked laughingly.
“No, I am just very surprised.” She hadn’t heard any news of this beforehand. And now he is suddenly getting married.
“So, if I’m inviting you to my wedding ceremony, will you come? Are we still friends?”
Without waiting for Loredana’ reply, Charles said again, “It might be inconvenient for you, I’ve already gotten Tom to pick you up.”
Loredana held her forehead. He was not giving her an opportunity to reject him.
