At the moment, Maisy became sorrier for no showing trust to Charles before. Now when they were in difficulty, he showed great concern for them. His sincerity was really rare.
If Maisy knew about Charles’ real thoughts, would she regret letting her daughter marry him?
“Alan, let’s accept Declan’s request just like what Charles said just now. We can hide him in the White City but not at our home. In this way, we will not offend Declan. He’s my brother after all. No matter what, shall we help him this time?” Maisy looked towards her husband gingerly.
If Alan didn’t agree, she would have no choice.
Alan still didn’t want to accept this. He said, “Charles, do you know what evil things Declan is doing? I don’t want to implicate you. As you said just now, I regard you as a member of my family and you will accompany Tiana for the rest of her life. I don’t want you to have any relationship with Declan. Do you understand?”
“I know, we’re a family.” Charles also expressed his sincerity.
Seeing that Charles was so sincere, Alan was silent for two seconds. Then he asked, “Are you sure that you won’t get yourself implicated?”
Charles replied confidently, “Of course I’m sure of it.”
Alan didn’t like to get involved in these matters. He took a glance at his wife and said, “Call Declan. Moreover, this is the last time for us to help him. You should take this opportunity and make it clear to him. Ask him not to contact us again. I feel bothered whenever seeing him. Your dad never restricts him and even helps him with the wicked deeds. Is this the way to love him? It’s harmful to him!”
“I know.” Maisy patted her husband’s back and said, “You can go to the bed first. I will call him.”
Watching Alan coming back to the bedroom, Maisy took out her phone and then looked towards Charles, “You can go to have a rest too. I will tell you about the progress tomorrow.”
“I’m not sleepy. I will wait until you finish the call.” Charles said.
Maisy could only dial Declan first. Soon, Declan’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “How’s the progress? Dear sister, have you told Alan about this.”
“I can’t let you hide him at my home, but I can provide you with a place to hide him. Others won’t be able to find him.”
Declan asked hesitantly, “Which place?”
Was there such another safe place in City B that others wouldn’t find him?
Declan said in a bad mood, “If I can find another place in City B to hide him, how will I come to find you?”
Maisy didn’t grow up in the Bailey family and Declan was the only son in the family. He was pampered by his parents since childhood. As for his sisters, except for his eldest sister who grew up in the family since childhood, he had no feelings towards other sisters.
He didn’t show any respect to others when speaking, thinking that it was her obligation to help him.
Hearing Declan’s tone of voice, Maisy felt uncomfortable in her heart and reminded him, “I’m your sister.”
“I know, otherwise, I won’t turn to you,” Declan said as if it was normal.
Maisy closed her eyes and sighed in her heart. Declan didn’t understand what she meant at all.
In his eyes, relatives were to be made use of and he bore no domestic affection towards them. Nor did he know how to respect others.
“I will not hide him in City B, but in the White City. If you’re willing to do so, we can have an appointment tomorrow to negotiate this. If you’re unwilling to accept this, then never mind. All in all, I won’t allow you to hide him at my home.”
Maisy expressed her attitude explicitly.
She really didn’t like him.
Nor did she want to have any contact with him. If it wasn’t that they had the same parents, she really wanted to leave him alone.
Declan wanted to throw his temper at her, but now he had been cornered. Otherwise, he wouldn’t plan to hide his friend in his sister’s home.
Boyce’s men were watching at him all day long and he lost his freedom. If this continued, John’s whereabouts would be exposed sooner or later.
But now he had no choice and could only agree to it.
“It’s okay, but what’s the White City? Is it really safe?” Declan still had some scruples. Why didn’t he hear of the White City before?
Maisy,”…”
“The White City is a small place. Now that I recommend it to you, it’s definitely a safe place. I can’t do anything if you don’t believe me.” After finishing the words, Maisy prepared to end the call. Declan hurriedly said, “Okay. Should I let my man send John to your place tomorrow?”
Maisy was not in a hurry to answer him. Instead, she distanced the phone from her ear and covered the mouthpiece with her hand. Then she looked towards Charles, “He will send his friend here tomorrow. Is that okay?”
Charles nodded his head to show agreement and said, “I will a driver here and pick him up.”
“Okay. Then I will let him send his friend here.” Maisy put her phone near her ear again and said to Declan, “Then send him here tomorrow.”
“Okay.” After finishing the words, Declan hung up the phone.
Looking at her phone, Maisy slightly knitted her brows. He didn’t even say any formula or thank her and directly ended the call. He didn’t show any respect to his sister and he was so rude.
“Mom, since you don’t like him, you can make it clear with him after this matter and we will not contact him again.” Charles noticed that Maisy was so dissatisfied with her brother.
“I will. Hurry up to have a rest. It’s late now.” Maisy said.
Charles groaned an answer and rolled the wheelchair towards the bedroom.
In the villa…
As Loredana was sleeping soundly, Cormac didn’t wake her up. Later, she woke up because of hunger. When she woke up, she found it was already midnight. She turned over on the bed, rubbed her eyes and asked, “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Cormac hugged her, “You slept soundly, so I didn’t wake you up.”
Loredana, “…”
“It’s so late now. Is there anything to eat?” She lifted the quilt with complaints and got out of the bed. She was still wearing the dress she wore during the day. Before when having sex with Cormac in the bathroom, he pulled her dress, making it very messy. Its collar dropped to her shoulder and there were red hickeys on her chest.
Loredana adjusted her dress to cover her chest and felt very uncomfortable. She directly fell asleep after the sex and hadn’t washed her body, therefore, her body felt unpleasantly damp and sticky with the remaining sperms on it. She took out a set of clean underwear and a night dress from the wardrobe and walked into the bathroom.
Loredana prepared a whole bathtub of water and had a bath. She finally cheered up after the bath. Half an hour later, she dried her hair, put on her clothes and walked out. There was already no one on the bed. Loredana walked to the balcony, yet still couldn’t find Cormac, so she went downstairs.
At this point in time, they all had gone to bed and the whole villa was prevailed by silence. There was also no one downstairs in the living room and only the lights in the kitchen were on.
Loredana walked over in gentle steps. She then saw Cormac, who was wearing an apron, was boiling wantons. She leaned against the door frame, fixing her eyes on him, and asked in a low voice, “Can you cook?”
Cormac turned around and took a glance at her, “Are you looking down on me?”
Loredana chuckled, walked into the kitchen and wrapped his waist from behind. She asked, “When did you learn to cook?”
“Coral told me to boil the spare ribs soup and then put the wontons into the soup.” They all had dinner tonight. As he didn’t wake up Loredana, he asked Coral how to cook wontons, thinking that he could cook them for Loredana when she woke up.
Coral made the wontons in advance and the spare ribs soup was also prepared in advance and had been kept warm. Cormac only needed to turn on the stove and put the wontons into the soup.
Maybe it was because she was hungry, Loredana could smell the fragrance of the meat.
She tilted her head, looked into the pot and asked, “When will it be ready?”
