Loredana hastily covered his mouth, “Don’t talk nonsense in front of your son.”
Cormac chuckled and stuck out his tongue to lick her palm. Loredana wanted to retreat her hand, but Cormac grabbed her wrist.
“You two…”
Andrew woke up at the midnight and found the living room was still bright. After peeing, he opened the door of the toilet and took a glance at the living room. As he didn’t see anyone in the living room, he walked out of his room and then saw Loredana and Cormac in the kitchen…
He hurriedly covered his eyes and peeked through his fingers. He was peeking, but he said, “You two can continue. I can see anything.”
Cormac put down Loredana’ dress, stood up and looked at Andrew, “It’s late. What are you doing here? Why don’t you sleep.”
“You two don’t sleep either and even flirt in the kitchen.” Andrew looked at him ambiguously with a smile, as if he knew what they were doing. Cormac pointed at his forehead and said, “Go to sleep.”
Andrew yawned, turned around and come back to his bedroom, “You two should go to bed early too.”
Cormac took the bowl from Loredana and said, “We shall go to bed too. Coral will clean it tomorrow.”
When they went upstairs and went to bed, it was already two o’clock. As she had slept before, it took Loredana to fall asleep again.
Early in the morning, Loredana was awakened by the ringtone of her phone.
In a daze, she reached out to rummage for her phone. Cormac picked up her phone and said, “Sleep for a more while.”
He took a glance at the screen. Maybe after buying the phone for Loredana, Charles added his name and his number to the phone.
The caller ID was “Charles White.”
Looking at the caller ID, Cormac refused the call without hesitation.
Loredana opened her eyes and asked, “Who’s that?”
“A crank call.” He blocked Charles’ number and put the phone back on the bedside table and said, “Sleep.”
Loredana sat up, “I can’t sleep again.”
Charles called Loredana again and couldn’t get through to her. Apparently, his number had been blocked.
Looking at his phone, he guessed this must be done by Cormac. Although Loredana was very angry at him, she would not do so.
Even if she wanted to do so, she would inform him in advance.
It seemed like he had to visit them.
Loredana who couldn’t fall asleep again lifted the quilt and got out of the bed. She went downstairs to check Theresa’s condition. Theresa was still sleeping and her forehead didn’t feel hot. She guessed her fever had been brought down.
Loredana walked out of her bedroom and gently closed the door. She then came to see Amanda and Andrew. Amanda had woken up early, but she didn’t get out of the bed and was rolling on the bed. Loredana sat down at the bedside and said to her, “Amy…”
“I want to sleep.” Amanda covered her head with the quilt. Apparently, she didn’t want to talk to Loredana as she was still angry at her.
Loredana furrowed her brows. This kid had a bad temper. She didn’t suck up to her again as she knew Amanda would only forgive her if she brought her to the pet store.
Loredana stood up, walked out of the bedroom and came to the kitchen to help Coral prepare the breakfast.
Right at this moment, the doorbell rang. As Coral was cutting fruits, Loredana walked to the door.
Tiana stood by the door. Loredana was stunned because she didn’t expect to see Tiana here at such an early hour.
“Hi, Loredana,” Tiana greeted Loredana.
Loredana smiled, “What brings you here so early in the morning? Is there anything I can help you with?”
Tiana nodded honestly, “Charles tried to call you, but the call didn’t go through. So I have to come and see if you’re alright.”
Loredana was reminded of the calls this morning. Her doubts were cleared. She stepped aside and invited Tiana into the house, “Come in first.”
Tiana shook her head, “Nah, I should get straight to the business,” Tiana pointed at the black car stopped outside. The car windows were covered with black films and made it impossible to see through the window. Declan sent John back to the Meyer manor at around four o’clock. Charles too made arrangements last night and got Tom to prepare a car to transport John.
Charles didn’t send John straight to White City after he picked John up. Instead, he gave Loredana a call. However, Loredana didn’t pick up the call. So, Charles asked Tiana to go to Loredana’s house to check out what happened.
It was a chance for Charles to see Loredana, but he tried his best to control his desire to see her after talking to Tiana.
“There’s a man in the car, and Charles asked me to pass this to you,” said Tiana.
Loredana thought she heard it wrong, “There’s a man in the car?”
Tiana replied with affirmation, “Yes, and Charles said he would be useful to you.”
A guesstimate came into Loredana’s mind, “Bring me there.”
Tiana answered, “Sure,” then she brought Loredana over to the car by the roadside. Tom got off the car when he saw Tiana and Loredana approaching the car.
“Show her,” Tiana told Tom.
Tom opened the car door at the backseat. John was sitting in the backseat unconsciously in his patient attire.
Charles gave John an anaesthetic after he picked him up. Hence, John was unconscious.
Loredana recognized John the moment she saw his face. John’s face wasn’t covered in the news in the temple. Loredana was shaking in anger when the idea of John might have raped Theresa came into Loredana’ head. Loredana wanted to slap John so much, but she knew it is not a good time to be emotional.
Cormac had been searching for John, and now John was captured by Charles? Loredana wanted to ask Charles how he captured John. So, she asked, “Where’s Charles?”
“Charles told me that you might not want to see him, so might as well he stop coming to see you,” said Tiana.
Charles asked Tiana to said so.
Loredana thought Charles had finally figure it out. It was for the best. Loredana hoped Charles could treat Tiana better, “Tell him that I appreciate it.” Tiana said, “You’re welcome. Charles said he did all these willingly.”
Loredana didn’t continue the topic. She pretended that she didn’t get what Tiana meant, “Please give me some space. I need to be alone with him.” Loredana can’t bring John into her house. She needed to let Cormac know about it so that he could make arrangements.
“Sure,” said Tiana.
Cormac walked down from the second floor of the villa and asked Coral when he didn’t see Loredana, “Where’s Loredana?”
“Someone rang the bell just now. She wasn’t at the door?” Coral asked.
Loredana walked in when Cormac was about to go out and looked for her.
“Charles sent a person here,” Loredana immediately told Cormac, “He’s right outside.”
Cormac marched towards the entrance, “Stay in the house. I’ll deal with it.”
