Cormac and Loredana consciously lightened their steps and didn’t disturb them, but walked inside along the wall from the door. At the corner near the window, Amanda crouched there and a large Samoyed dog was lying on the floor. Its fur was snowy white without a stray hair, like a snowball.
Amanda stroked its head with her hand and looked affectionate towards it. She whispered, “Why are you so cute?”
Loredana squatted down and touched her hair, “Do you like this dog a lot?”
Amanda tilted her head and threw herself into her arms surprisingly when she saw Loredana, “Mummy.”
She wrapped her arms around her neck tightly, “Why are you here?”
She smoothed her hair, “I miss you, so I come.”
Andrew’s chin rested on her shoulder and he turned her head to look at Cormac, “Daddy, have you and mummy made up?”
“When do we quarrel?” he carried her daughter out of her arms and pinched her cheeks, “We are just separated temporarily, we’re not quarrelling and getting angry, understand?”
Amanda curled her lips as she didn’t care why they were separated and she just wanted them to stay together forever, so that they could live together all the time.
“Daddy, can I keep this dog? I really like it a lot.” She pointed at the Samoyed that was lying on the ground.
Cormac didn’t agree straight away. Even though the dog looked cute, its size was large and he was worried that it might hurt her.
“Daddy, please.” She grabbed his collar and pouted.
“This dog is very docile, it won’t hurt anyone and it’s trained.” Kevin Forbis walked in and saw Loredana, “You’re here too?”
However, he knew well in his mind that the reason why Cormac had gone and returned should be because of her.
He had heard from Jayden about her departure. She should have appeared in White City to attend Charles’s wedding.
She nodded.
Andrew lost this game again and he was unwilling, “Let’s have another game.”
Jayden touched his head, “It’s good to have a fighting spirit, but we’ll fight again tonight.”
He stood up and he averted his eyes. Andrew was absent-minded as he hadn’t won a single game yet and it was the first time he felt frustrated.
Jayden deliberately didn’t compromise as he was smart and hadn’t suffered a defeat, which wasn’t a good thing.
As the saying goes, success comes only with hard work.
He had expectations for his grandson.
The expectations he had for Andrew was even higher than he had for Cormac at that time.
He intended to cultivate him as he was young, yet mature-minded and somewhat proud.
It wasn’t a bad thing to deal a blow once in a while.
When he saw Loredana, soon he knew why Cormac hadn’t left.
“Come out with me for a moment,” He said to Loredana.
“Yes,” Loredana said. She knew that he must have something to say to her, then followed him out of the hall.
Cormac didn’t stop them, standing inside the house and watching Loredana follow Jayden out. He knew what Jayden was probably going to say to Loredana.
Amanda turned his head so he could look at her, “Daddy, I want to keep this dog, is that okay?” “I’ll get you a small one.” This dog was too big for her and he felt insecure that it might hurt her.
The dog was smart, but just in case.
“No, I only like it.” Amanda pouted, her head rubbing into his neck.
“I have this dog, and it is also trained not to bite anyone. Since Simona likes it, you just let her keep it,” Kevin said again that the dog had been trained.
He knew Cormac must be afraid that the dog would hurt the children.
This dog was docile. Although it was big, it was not grumpy.
Moreover, the well-trained dog was clean and would not urinate or defecate anywhere. All it needed was a doghouse, food, and water, and it didn’t take much work. There were maids at home, and they didn’t have to worry about that.
“Is that okay? See, Granduncle even agreed to give me the dog,” Amanda pouted and kept pleading, almost crying.
He was always soft in the face of his daughter. Finally, he agreed.
Amanda immediately smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek, “Thank you, Daddy.”
She was so excited when she got out of his arms and ran to the Samoyed to pet its head. The dog meekly rubbed its head against her palms, making Amanda laugh. She looked up at Kevin, “Granduncle, you give it to me, and it’s mine. I want to rename it.”
The name Kevin gave it was Simba. Although it was cute with its white fur, it was big and strong with long hair, so Kevin gave it that name.
Kevin squatted next to Amanda, petted Simba’s head, and said to Amanda, “Of course you can! Once I give it to Simona, it’s Simona’s.” Although the names of these two children were changed, they preferred to call them by their original names because it felt familiar. The previous names were taken as their nicknames.
Amanda happily cuddled Simba’s head and stroked its fur, “I’m going to call it Cotton. It’s white and big.”
Kevin smiled and said dotingly, “Simona is so smart. Your name is much better than mine.”
Amanda held the dog’s head and kept calling it Cotton. She was proud of the name she chose.
Andrew sat aside without speaking, studying the game he had just lost alone.
Armand came in with a big bag. Not only did he buy fruit and ice cream, but he also bought some snacks for the two children.
He put the bag on the table and said, “Come on! The ice cream is going to melt.”
Amanda quickly ran up to Armand, “Where’s my ice cream? I want it.”
Armand took the ice cream to her and handed the other one to Andrew who didn’t say anything, “Hey, why don’t you look happy? Do you want ice cream?” Andrew didn’t look up and said, “No.”
It seemed that he wouldn’t rest until he figured it out.
Armand said, “This kid is pretty serious. It looks like he lost again.”
Cormac sat opposite his son, “Do you want to go again?”
Armand looked around, didn’t see Loredana, and asked, “Where’s Loredana? I got the cake she wanted.”
Cormac put the cake aside, ignored Armand, and began to put the pieces on the board in their respective places. Then, he said to Andrew, “You go first.” Andrew looked up at him, “You first.”
Cormac raised an eyebrow, “It’s not good for you to be so tough.” Despite what he said, he went first.
