Amanda raised his head and looked at Theresa, “Renee, do you dislike Armand?”
Armand instinctively raised his head and looked at Theresa.0000
However, Theresa didn’t look at him, she just supported her chin with one hand indifferently, “I’m not familiar with him.”
That one sentence made a clear line between their worlds.
Armand felt sad at heart but he could still hold it on the surface as he smiled, “Are we familiar strangers?”
Theresa also smiled as she asked him back, “Have we ever been familiar? Why can’t I remember?”
In comparison to Theresa’s indifference, Armand couldn’t be as indifferent as her, his lips were tightly pursed as he pulled the chair and sat down, “If hurting me can make you happy, just hurt me.”
“You’re not worth it for me to hurt, you’re nothing to me, I won’t use any bit of feelings on you, so there’s not even hatred, I just find people like you annoying.”
When saying that, the hand that Theresa put below the table was tightly clenching, her nails nearly sunk into her palm, only pain could make her keep calm.
Actually, she really wanted to slap him several times.
When Loredana took the milk and went out, she coincidentally saw her little movement… Even if she stayed calm, her body’s little movements were clearly saying that she wasn’t as calm as she looked on the outside.
If she really had no feelings towards Armand, how could she act like that?
What was actually hidden in her heart? If she could really let it go, why should she hurt others and herself?
She took a deep breath, acting like she didn’t see anything, and then she asked when she poured milk into Armand’s glass, “Is Mrs. Leslie okay?”
She found a topic on purpose, trying to relieve the atmosphere.
“She needs to be taken care of.” she couldn’t take care of herself anymore, the only change was she could talk, she couldn’t even talk before. Loredana nodded, “Take good care of her.”
Armand nodded, “I will, she’s my only relative, I’ll definitely take good care of her.”
Cormac walked in, pulled the main chair and sat down, he then glanced at Armand but he didn’t say anything.
Armand smiled, “Next time I’ll call Boyce and won’t disturb you anymore.”
Cormac lifted the fresh milk that Loredana poured for him and glanced indifferently at him, by then he felt that Armand deliberately came there. Well, Theresa was there, it would be strange if he didn’t use all possible means to go there.
Cormac didn’t expose him either, he just asked, “Were you drunk yesterday?”
Armand was stunned, he did drink a lot but his mind was still clear, indeed, he deliberately let the waiter call Cormac’s cellphone number. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence… After all, there were so many numbers in his cellphone, how could the waiter call Cormac?
“Could that be a fake?” Armand wouldn’t admit it.
Cormac glanced at him meaningfully, “As long as you know it clearly at heart.”, he had no time to think about his problem, he stretched his hand out, took the egg on the plate, peeled it, and handed it to Amanda, “Do you want to study drawing?”
Amanda immediately nodded, “I want to.”
She was really interested in that, seeing that her drawing was the same as the real one, she would feel very accomplished.
“Today I’ll take you to someone who specializes in drawing, will you go?”
“Really?” Amanda didn’t dare to believe it.
He even asked if she would go or not, she was simply overwhelmed by his unexpected offer, Cormac was a very busy man, how could he have time to take her there?
“Of course.” Cormac already called Abbott saying that he wasn’t going to the company that day, he also told him not to contact him if there was nothing extremely important. He was going to accompany his children that day.
“Whoa, I’m so happy.” she slid down the chair in excitement, ran over and hugged his leg, “You’re so great.”
Cormac rubbed Amanda’s head, she was really easy to satisfy, from that onwards he would take more time to accompany them.
The happiest person that morning was Amanda, because Cormac was going to take her out.
After the breakfast, Armand drove Cormac’s car out of the villa.
“Come with us.” Cormac leaned by the door and looked at her.
Loredana helped the kids put on clothes and sunscreen, she then looked up at him, “Just go, I’m a bit tired, I don’t want to go outside.”
If the children went out, she would have the time to have a good talk with Theresa.
The child in her belly was gradually growing bigger, it was normal for her to feel tired, even if Cormac really wanted her to come with him, but he wouldn’t force her since she said she was tired, he didn’t want to tire her out, “Do you want to buy anything? I’ll bring it back for you.”
Loredana gave it a thought, “I want to eat watermelon.”
“Anything else?”
“Nope.” she shook her head and explained, “Since you have time, play with the two children more.”
Cormac said yes.
He didn’t go with anyone else, he just drove the car with the children, and Loredana sent him out… Seeing their car leaving, only then Loredana turned around and walked in.
Lucy and Coral was doing chores in the house, the place was too big, there were so many places that nearly should be wiped everyday, otherwise there would be dusts, it wasn’t comfortable to talk in the living room either, she supported Theresa and went back to the room.
Theresa who just sat on the bed asked, “What do you want to say to me?”
Otherwise, she wouldn’t find an excuse to stay at home, that was a rare day where her whole family could go out together.
“Tell me, what actually happened to you?” Loredana looked at her in seriousness.
Theresa rubbed the blanket, feeling uneasy, “What could happen to me?”
“Speak while you look into my eyes.” Loredana was very serious, “If you’re not hiding anything from me, look at me.”
He didn’t want to force Theresa or anything, she was just afraid that she was hiding something in her heart, suppressing it for a long time wouldn’t be good for herself.
Perhaps she could feel better by talking it out.
Theresa didn’t dare to see her, she kept saying, “I’m really fine, you’re overthinking.”
“I hope that I’m overthinking too, but your behavior made me feel so restless.” Loredana stretched her hand out to grab hers, “Can’t you trust me?”
Theresa lowered her head.
Her eyes were red, she couldn’t say anything because she didn’t know how to start.
Recalling when she got the news back then, she could still feel the sadness she felt back then… Back then, she was desperate, she didn’t even have the courage to live anymore because her life no longer had any meaning.
