Coral and Lucy kept the fruits that were bought just now in the refrigerator and took out some fruits. After washing the fruits, they gave them to the two children.
“Missus takes good care of herself. She looks so young and is so kind,” Lucy said.
Coral gave a chuckle, “She is originally young.”
‘She got married when she was eighteen years old. How can she not be young?’
Lucy thought that Loredana should be at least thirty years old because Loredana’s children were already so big. If she got married and had children in her twenties, she should be around thirty years old. She looked like a university student.
Ding-dong, the doorbell rang. Lucy said, “I will go and open the door.”
Since they had sorted out everything, Coral gently hit her legs and wanted to get some rest in her room. She said, “Okay. You can do that.”
Lucy walked up to the door and opened the door. A delivery man was standing in front of the door.
The delivery man asked, “Is there a lady that is named Lucy Poole here?”
Lucy looked at the delivery man and said, “I am Lucy Poole. You are…”
“I have a parcel for you. Please sign for it.” The delivery man took out a small paper box.
The name of the recipient was indeed her name.
“Who sent this to me?” she asked.
“I am only responsible for sending this parcel. I am not sure about the sender’s identity. Please leave your signature here.” The delivery man then handed her the delivery confirmation slip. She took the slip and left her signature on it. She then took the small paper box.
There is no one in the living room. All of them were resting in their rooms. She sat on the sofa and opened the box. In the box, there was a stationery box that was filled with money. There were ten-dollar notes, one-hundred-dollar notes and fifty-dollar notes. The stationery box was full of money.
There was a card under the stationery box.
She opened the card. It was a note written by her son, ‘Mummy, I have missed you. The reason why I have chosen Daddy is because I am scared that you cannot afford to raise me. Since I have followed Daddy, it will be easier for you. Mummy, when I grow up, I will earn a lot of money and bring you over to my house so that you can live with me.’
Tears started to run down her face. She and her husband came from the countryside. To make a living, her husband went out and worked. At the same time, she took care of the elderly and children in the house. Last year, her parents-in-law passed away and she brought her son to reunite with her husband. But her husband was having an affair with a young woman.
Her husband who had a successful career no longer fancied her. She was not young anymore and didn’t know how to dress up.
To fight for the custody of her son, the couple resorted to legal actions and went to court. Her husband had financial stability, so she was disadvantaged financially. However, in order to keep her son by her side, she still needed to fight for the custody of her son.
At the discretion of the judge, he took pity on the mother and sought the child’s opinion. He asked the child who he wanted to live with.
Her son replied, “I want to live with Daddy.”
She was crestfallen at that moment.
Little did she know…
Loredana was thirsty so she came down to pour water. Seeing her sitting there while crying, she thought she was unaccustomed to the lifestyle here so she walked down, drew a tissue and handed it to her, “What’s wrong with you? Is there anything wrong?”
Lucy hurriedly packed everything up and said, “Nothing.”
She obviously did not look like she was fine. Loredana handed the tissue to her again, “Wipe it off.”
Lucy stood up, took the tissue handed to her and wiped her tears away.
Loredana poured two cups of water and handed one of them to her, “Could you tell me why are you crying? If there is anything that you aren’t used to here, you can talk to me.”
“No, I’m fine to stay here.” She lowered her head, “I just miss my son.”
Loredana saw her holding the stationery box in her hand and understood well. She understood how the mood of a mother who missed her child was. She said before that after she divorced her husband, a son followed her husband. But even so, she as a mother should have visitation rights, “You can go to see her if you miss him. If your ex-husband doesn’t allow you to visit him, I can find a lawyer for you.”
She was also a mother so she could understand Lucy’s current mood. While feeling sympathetic for her, she also wanted to give her some help.
“No, no need.” She had visitation rights. Although she only had one chance per month which was not many, she did not want to cause trouble for others.
“It’s already afternoon, are you hungry?” Lucy asked after calming herself.
Loredana drank all the water in the cup, put it down and said, “It’s fine to make it now.”
When the meal was done, she would be hungry.
It was usually Coral who prepared the food. She said, “Let me make lunch today so Coral can take a break.”
After she came here, there was nothing that she was not used to. Everyone was very nice and Coral gave her a lot of help.
Loredana said okay.
She could not fall asleep anymore and intended to go to Theresa’s room to chat with her. Before she went in, she spoke to Lucy again, “You can tell me if there is anything you need.” She did not mean anything else but simply wanted to give her help.
Lucy said, “Okay, thank you.”
Loredana said ‘no problem’ while smiling, turned around and went to Theresa’s room.
On the other hand, the two people who came out of the club got in the car and left. Boyce drove the car to the entrance of the WY Group.
Boyce sharply saw the car parked at the entrance and said, “Isn’t this Charles’s car?”
Cormac raised his eyes and looked over. Charles’s car was indeed parked in the parking space outside the tower.
“Why did he come here?” Boyce put one hand on the car window and looked like he was interested to know it.
After all, Charles understood better than anyone else how unwelcome he was to be in this place but he still took the initiative to come and look for something unpleasant for him. Was not this very rare? Cormac originally wanted to go in but after knowing that Charles was here, he called Abbott to let him drive the car out of the tower.
Boyce looked at Cormac and said while smiling, “Don’t be so stingy. He has already come here, why don’t you give him a wedding invitation? Let him attend your wedding so that he’ll give up?” Cormac ignored him.
Abbott parked the car behind Boyce’s car. He got out and handed the car key to Cormac, “Someone called Mr. White is here to see you, he has been waiting for two hours.”
Cormac took the key and said, “Just say I’m not here.”
After saying that, he took the car key and got in the car. He started the car engine and left.
“Is your boss particularly petty?” Boyce looked at the car that was speeding away and asked Abbott with a smile.
Abbott cast a look which meant that ‘you know better than me’, “You ask me about this? Are you sure?”
He initially was going to say that the two of them were so close that the only thing they had not done was sleeping together in the same bed. ‘Don’t you know Cormac’s personality better than I do?’ But he did not say it. He waved his hand, “I’m leaving.” He was very busy.
Boyce also did not waste time here. He drove the car back to the club and on the way, he received a video sent by his subordinate.
He had always sent people to follow Declan. He also specifically admonished today that they must record every deed of Declan.
