Loredana didn’t respond to her at all, striding out of the cafe.
She had heard Marina’s words. Her heart wasn’t as cold as a stone. She had feelings and thoughts. How couldn’t she be touched?
However, she hadn’t decided how to get along with them yet. In her heart, there was something that she still couldn’t let go of.
Since Marina asked her for clear answers, Loredana didn’t think she could do it. Even if she answered, it would be against her will. She couldn’t forgive or accept them truly.
The driver was waiting for her outside the cafe. He was afraid that Loredana couldn’t find him so he dared not to leave.
Seeing Loredana come out of the cafe, he immediately walked over. He could tell that she looked annoyed, so he asked, “Mrs. Mendelsohn, would you like to go home now?” “Let’s go downstairs.”
Although Marina ruined her mood, Loredana still remembered what she wanted to do.
The driver followed her.
After getting alone with Theresa for a long time, Loredana knew her size and style of clothes. She walked through several stores and got some for her. It was summer, Theresa needed to change clothes every day.
The driver followed Loredana while holding the shopping bags. She wanted to buy the underwear for Theresa, but it was inconvenient for the driver to follow her in, so she asked him to wait outside of the lingerie store.
She walked in, realizing that Theresa didn’t have nightgowns and pajamas, so she went over to browse them. Other customers were browsing the nightgowns as well.
“Tiana, look. How do you like this one?” A woman was showing a set of seductive lingerie to her daughter.
Tiana blushed. “Mom, this one is too exposed. How could I wear it?”
Upon hearing the voice, Loredana looked over. When she saw the girl’s face, she confirmed who she was. She felt familiar when hearing her voice so she looked over. It turned out to be Charles’ wife, Tiana. She wondered why Tiana was in City B.
Was Tiana from City B?
It seemed that Charles didn’t mention Tiana was from White City. It was a small city, and the White family was the most important one there. Charles said that the Meyer family could help his career, so the Meyer family should be either rich or powerful. Otherwise, Charles wouldn’t have chosen to get married to the daughter from this family.
“Exposed? All men like this style.” The woman pulled her daughter and asked, “Tell me honestly. Have you slept together?”
Her daughter was still childish. She was afraid that Charles married her daughter only because of their family background.
Charles couldn’t walk but he was handsome and capable. A lot of ordinary people couldn’t compare to him. She was quite clear — if her daughter weren’t from their family, Charles wouldn’t have married Tiana.
Tiana blushed more. “Mom, what are you talking about? We’re a couple. Of course, we sleep together.”
She slightly lowered her face and dared not to look into her mother’s eyes. It seemed that Charles had predicted that someone would ask Tiana such a question, so he had told her how to answer it. She just gave her mother the answer.
The woman looked quite surprised. “For real? You’re not lying to me, are you?”
Tiana pulled down the seductive lingerie from her mother’s hands and put it back. She turned away. “Why would I lie to you?”
When she turned around, she happened to see Loredana who was next to them.
“Hey! How are you?” Tiana greeted her. She still remembered that Charles introduced this lady to her at their wedding.
Charles seemed to be quite close to this woman. He also touched her belly.
Loredana smiled at her. “Hi there.”
“Do you know each other?” Tiana’s mother walked over, looking at Loredana up and down.
Tiana nodded. She answered honestly, “Yeah. She’s a good friend of Charles’. She also attended our wedding.”
Her mother stared at Loredana’s belly for a few seconds and then looked at her face. Loredana wasn’t a stunning woman at the first sight, but the longer one looked at her, the more beautiful she would be. All her features had standard beauty.
Besides, she was quite easy-going, very attractive.
The woman clenched Tiana’s hand tightly. She knew her daughter was quite pure-minded. “Are you Charles’s friend?”
Loredana seemed to have sensed the woman’s hostility to her. She didn’t know how to explain. So she answered indifferently, “We’re not quite close, just ordinary friends.”
“But I could tell you are quite close. Charles also touched your belly that day. Have you forgotten?” Tiana blinked and said.
She didn’t have any other thoughts, and nor was she as thoughtful as her mother.
She just stated what she had seen.
Originally, her mother was quite alert to Loredana as she was an attractive woman. Upon hearing Tiana’s words, she suspected that Loredana and Charles must have an affair. Looking at Loredana, she pulled a long face. They were so close that Charles could touch her body. What kind of pure friendship would that be?
Obviously, Tiana’s mother didn’t believe that Loredana and Charles were just ordinary friends. With a sneer, she asked, “What on earth is your relationship with Charles?”
Loredana suddenly felt that it wasn’t her day today. Just now, she met Marina. Now, it was Tiana’s turn.
Such an unlucky day!
Loredana could read between the lines of the woman’s words. Frowning, she explained, “You’ve misunderstood…”
The woman snorted and interrupted her. “Do you think I’m an idiot? My daughter is pure-minded and easy to get deceived, but I am not. If you were ordinary friends, how could he touch your belly?” She looked more and more annoyed. “Are you carrying his bastard?”
Loredana’s face also became cold. “Mind your language. I have a husband.”
“Mom! What’s wrong? Why are you so angry?” Tiana pulled her mother’s hand. She couldn’t understand why her mother started fighting with Loredana.
Loredana didn’t want to continue talking to her. The woman had already misunderstood. She couldn’t explain it in a short time. The more she explained, the more suspicious the woman would be.
She turned around and was about to leave, but the woman pulled her to stop. “You can’t leave! Tell me clearly. Does Charles White have anything to do with the baby in your belly? Don’t you know he’s married? Are you his mistress or he wants you to be his mistress?”
The woman’s words had become harsher and harsher. Loredana was also angry. She said in a fierce tone, “Let go of me now. Or, I’ll call the police!”
“You are a shameless mistress. I dare you to call the police!” The woman tightened her grip on Loredana’s wrist. She said aggressively, “If you don’t make it clear today, I won’t let you go!”
Loredana pulled out her cell phone. The woman saw that she was going to make a call. Raising her hand, she knocked down Loredana’s phone and snapped, “What are you doing? Looking for helpers huh? Let me tell you. If you don’t make it clear today, you can’t go anywhere!”
Loredana’s phone fell to the ground with a cracking sound. The screen cracked. She took a look at the cell phone on the floor, looking more and more annoyed. Turning to look at the woman, she said in a cold tone, “I’ve answered your question and explained, but you don’t believe me. What can I do? Do you want to grip me like this all the time?”
The woman still refused to let go of her. “What can you do to make me believe you?”
After all, for intimate people, they could touch each other. She knew her daughter well, so she was afraid that her daughter would be cheated on.
Loredana pointed at the phone on the ground. “I can call my husband to come over. Can he prove it?”
The woman hesitated but still couldn’t rest assured. “What if you call someone to pretend to be your husband?”
Loredana was speechless.
That woman was completely unreasonable. Loredana was almost mentally collapsed. She couldn’t convince this woman at all.
