At six o’clock, Coral and Lucy had already got up. Lucy was a good cook while Coral retired from the kitchen. The breakfast was prepared by Lucy, but Coral would tell her some of the family’s habits. Andrew woke up early but not Amanda. She would still lie in bed even if she woke up after taking a nap.
Loredana was already awake upstairs. As she thought of Armand was still there, she was about to get up. When she just lifted the blanket, she was held by somebody with his leg pressing on her body, “Sleep a little longer.”
Loredana turned her head and looked at him, “It is morning and move your leg away.”000
Cormac pretended that he did not hear her and continued sleeping while hugging her.
Loredana frowned, “I really want to take a picture of your rogue appearance and show it to the staff in your company.”
Cormac approached her and said in a hoarse voice just like somebody who had just woken up, “Do you want me to take off my clothes and then only you take a picture of me?” Loredana was speechless.
The word ‘shameless’ could no longer describe him.
“Stop making fun, I really need to get up.” Loredana said seriously, “I’m going down to see if Armand was drunk all night yesterday. Not sure whether Theresa was asleep.”
Previously, Theresa looked quite firm. But yesterday, it seemed that she was not as heartless as she appeared to be when facing Armand.
She sighed while wondering how she could help them so that they were both fine.
“Why do you sigh?” Cormac raised his head and looked at her. The day had just dawned and it was not good to sigh early in the morning.
“I’m wondering if there is something in Theresa’s mind that she didn’t tell me. It doesn’t feel like she has completely lost hope in Armand. Hey…what are you doing?!” She was saying something when Cormac actually bit her.
“Can you stop thinking about other people’s business all the time?” Cormac was not sleepy anymore as he reached out to caress her stomach, “For the sake of our daughter, you should worry less.”
Loredana lifted her shirt and looked at her waist. Fortunately, there were no marks left. Cormac pinched her cheek, “I have a sense of proportion.”
“I thought you…never mind. Get up.” She lifted the blanket and got down from the bed. Cormac sat still, “What do you want to say next? Do you want to scold me?”
She put on her slippers and walked to the wardrobe to find the clothes that she wanted to wear today. She said without looking back, “Well, I want to say that you’re so childish.”
Cormac looked at her back. He held his chin while admiring his wife’s delicate body that was very slender even though she was pregnant. She was wearing a camisole nightdress with her white and fair arms exposed. Her long black hair was scattered at the back of her head, but it did not look messy even though she had not combed it yet.
He told Loredana that Jayden would come back from White City in the next few days. He must return for their wedding since he also missed the children.
Loredana asked if Kevin was coming.
Cormac said that he would come.
“That’s good. Let him stay here too in the future. He is already old and doesn’t have anybody around him. We will take care of him in the future.” Loredana took out the clothes she was going to wear today and looked back at him, “Do you really want to hold the wedding?”
Cormac nodded, “I have chosen the venue. You don’t have to do anything. I will arrange everything.”
Loredana could only nod her head, “I will have to invite my uncle to come over at that time.”
Cormac got down from the bed. He approached her and hugged her, “We will invite whoever you wish.”
Loredana pushed him away, “I’m going to wash up.”
Cormac kissed her cheek, “Go ahead.”
She changed her clothes after washing herself. She could not go downstairs in her pyjamas as there were outsiders in the house. She came out after dressing herself neatly. As she walked past the cloakroom and saw Cormac tidying his shirt sleeves, she walked in and looked at the colour of his trousers. She then took a suitable tie, “Let me help you.”
She reached up to him and flipped up his collar to insert the tie. Then, she folded it back down and made a tie knot gently. Cormac lowered his head and looked at her serious expression. He said, “Your daughter complained that I didn’t accompany her.”
Loredana looked up at him and asked, “When?”
“Yesterday.” He reached out to caress his wife’s stomach, “I really wish he would be born quickly. So, we can go for a honeymoon after the wedding.”
Loredana also lowered her head and looked at her big belly, “Forget about the honeymoon. You should spend more time with the two children if you’re free.”
She had already given birth to two children and she was still pregnant now. She was not very eager for their wedding. After all, they were already living a married life.
“I’m actually very young, but I feel like a middle-aged person.” She chuckled and mocked at herself.
Cormac disliked this remark and reached out to lift her chin, “Well, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Loredana pushed his hand away and turned around to get her suit, “Come and put in on.”
He slipped his hand into the sleeves while remembering the nonsense his daughter had said. He said, “What has your daughter been watching at home every day?”
“School hasn’t started yet. She doesn’t go to preschool anymore since you came back. Except for taking Cotton around, she rarely goes out. She just watches the television at home.” Loredana straightened his collar and raised her head to ask, “What did she say again?”
“Let her watch less television in the future. It is not beneficial. I see she is quite interested in drawing, why don’t you go and enrol her in a drawing class.” His brain hurt every time he thought of what his daughter had said.
Loredana said, “I will consider it. I’m going downstairs now.”
Cormac responded ‘sure’.
Everybody downstairs was already awake. Even Amanda who wanted to continue sleeping was awakened by Coral.
Loredana came down just as Armand was about to go back home.
“Have breakfast before leaving,” Loredana called and stopped him.
Armand stood at the doorway, “I caused trouble to you guys last night.”
“Nothing troublesome, just that you need to drink less since it is not good for your health,” Loredana said caringly as having excessive alcohol was unhealthy.
Armand lowered his head, “I will keep in mind in the future.”
“Come in and have your breakfast before leaving.” Loredana asked Lucy, “Is breakfast ready?”
“The breakfast is ready. Do you want to eat now?”
“Well, serve it then.” She let Armand in, “I will go and see if Theresa is awake.”
She walked over and knocked on the door of Theresa’s room. Theresa was already awake and also neatly dressed. She put on make-up as she was afraid that her dark circles were noticed. Loredana approached and assisted her, “Getting up so early. Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
“I slept well, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get up so early,” Theresa said while smiling.
Loredana did not say anything. It was not good asking her anything in the early morning.
Lucy served the breakfast on the table. She helped Theresa sit on the chair in front of the dining table. She asked as she saw Armand had not come over yet, “Why don’t you come in? Aren’t you hungry?”
“I haven’t changed my clothes and I still seem to have the smell of alcohol.” Armand could not withstand the smell and was afraid that they would smell it.
“We don’t mind.” Amanda held his hand, “Come in quickly and eat.”
Armand followed the little girl to the dining table.
