Loredana raised her head and looked at Cormac, “Why are you back so early today? Is there anything you want to tell me?”
If not, why would he ask Lucy to leave the kitchen first?¶¶¶¶¶¶
Cormac laughed, “Even if I have nothing to say to you, can’t I stay here and have some alone time with you?”
Loredana was speechless.
Loredana did not say anything, and she felt helpless, “This is the kitchen. Why are you lingering here? It’s not like you can cook or cut vegetables.”
“Are you looking down on me?” Cormac unbuttoned his cuffs and pulled his sleeves up. He washed his hands in the basin, “Give me the knife, I’ll cut the vegetables.” Loredana looked at him, “You want to cut the vegetables?”
Cormac took the knife from her hand, “What’s so hard about this?”
Loredana handed over the knife and stood at the side. She untied her apron, and tied it around Cormac’s waist, “Then, you will prepare the meal for tonight?”
Cormac lowered his head and looked at her hand, which was tying the apron on his waist. He said with a light smile, “Do you dare to eat it if I’m the one cooking it?” “What is there to be afraid of? No matter what the taste is, whether it is raw or cooked, I’ll eat it as long as you make it.” Loredana stood aside.
Cormac laughed, “Then I think I need to go for some culinary class. I can’t let my daughter starve, right?”
As he said that, he glanced towards Loredana’s stomach.
Loredana felt a little ridiculous. Why did he think that it will be a daughter in her stomach? And was he learning to cook just because for her daughter? “You do the cooking today.” After saying that, Loredana tried to leave the kitchen. Cormac pulled her wrist and said, “Stay here and accompany me.”
Loredana looked at him faintly, “Let your daughter accompany you.”
Cormac was lost for words.
He was stunned for a moment, thinking that her words were quite clueless. However, he quickly reacted and realized why she was acting like that. He couldn’t help but smirk, “Are you jealous?” “Who’s jealous?” Loredana was not jealous. Even if she was, she wouldn’t admit it.
“If you are not jealous, then why do you want to leave?”
“I don’t want to stay in the kitchen.” Loredana raised her head and said, “Let go of me now, I’m going out.”
Cormac smiled and embraced her into his arms, “You are the one that I’m closest to, and also the one who shares the bed with me…”
Loredana instantly covered his mouth. They were in the kitchen, and there were people in the living room. How could this man talk without thinking about the occasion?
What if other people heard what he said?
“Help me take out my phone from my pocket.” Cormac felt a vibration coming from his phone as though someone was calling him. His hands were still wet, so it was inconvenient for him to reach his phone. Loredana warned him, “Don’t fool around and say these kind senseless words. It’s not good if other people hear what you say.”
Cormac was speechless.
How was he saying senseless things?
They were couples, and they slept together too. So how would it be senseless to say that she was the one that he’s closest to? His son would eventually get married and leave the house. As for his daughter, even how unwilling he was, she would eventually get married too.
Loredana asked, “Which pocket?”
“On the right side,” Cormac answered her.
She reached her hand to his pocket, touched the vibrating phone, took it out, and saw Armand’s name on the phone screen.
Thinking of what happened today, the smile on Loredana’s face instantly vanished. She looked at Cormac and said, “It’s Armand.”
“You answer the call,” Cormac said.
Loredana replied to him with an “um”, then answered the call, “Hello?”
She could feel as if the person on the other side of the phone paused for a moment, seemingly felt weird because it was her who had answered the phone, “Loredana?” Loredana said yes.
“I’m at the police station. Can you get Cormac here to bail me out?”
Loredana frowned, “Why did you end up in a police station?”
“I got into a fight,” Armand said nonchalantly.
“Okay.”
Armand replied with an “um” and hung up the phone.
“What’s wrong?” Cormac asked. Loredana’s did not look good.
“Armand got into a fight, and now he’s at the police station. He asks you to go to the police station and bail him out.” Loredana told him.
She put the phone back in his pocket, untied his apron, and said, “I’ll go with you.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to go to the police station.” It was not a good place for her.
“I’ll just go and check him out, otherwise I won’t be at ease. Why did he suddenly get into a fight with someone else? It was most probably because of Theresa. Theresa had time to prepare herself. Even though she still feels sad, she could adjust to it with time. However, for Armand, it’s different. The whole thing happened suddenly; I’m scared that he could not take it.”
Cormac nodded.
The two of them left the kitchen. Loredana called Lucy and let her prepare dinner. Coral also finished her work outside, so she also went into the kitchen and helped prepare dinner.
“I’ll be back soon. You guys prepare the dinner first.” Loredana said.
Coral said, “You can just go. Lucy and I are at home, and we can prepare dinner. Don’t worry too much.”
Loredana smiled and said okay.
Cormac took the car key and went out with Loredana. After they got into the car, he drove straight to the police station.
Loredana hesitated and asked, “Do you think that it’s a bad idea to hide this from Armand?”
“Since Theresa didn’t want to say, you should not interfere in their business.” No matter how good their relationship was, it wouldn’t be good to meddle in other people’s emotional affairs. It would be fine if it turned out well, but what if things ended in an ugly way? What would they see her as?
He didn’t want Loredana to interfere with their problems.
Loredana understood what he meant, and lightly let out a sigh.
Cormac glanced at her, “You worry too much about other people every day. When the baby is born, she’s going to become sentimental like you. Don’t be too concerned about other people’s matters. Everyone has their own fate.”
Loredana couldn’t help but felt amused, “How could you even relate them together?”
“Just listen to me,” Cormac said overbearingly.
Loredana knew that he meant well for her and her child, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
After a while, they reached the police station. Cormac parked the car in front of the police station. As he got out of the car, Loredana followed behind and got out. She wanted to understand the situation too. Cormac held her hand and they went into the police station together.
