“Then tell me what goes on four legs in the morning, on two at noon, and three in the evening?” Amanda was slightly aggressive as she was eager to make a correct guess. Cormac analyzed for her and triggered her to think, “When you were a baby…”
“I know what it is.” Andrew had already thought of it as soon as Cormac gave a hint, “People.”
He smiled and explained, “When I was a baby, I crawled on all fours, and now I walk upright, but when people get old, they will use a walking stick.”
Amanda glared at her brother with her eyes wide, “So annoying!”
He always answered before Amanda.
“Oscar, you come up with another one.” She leaned over Cormac’s shoulder and whispered, “Daddy, you must help me. I must win my brother once.” Cormac smiled dotingly and helplessly, what could he do about his daughter’s request?
He could only agree to it.
Oscar understood Amanda’s intention. He thought of another one in order to coax this capricious little girl, “What will put their heads out when the door is closed?” “Guess a thing.”
Amanda blinked as she was thinking in her mind that how could something still put their heads out when the door was closed? Wouldn’t that snap their heads off? She shivered while thinking. What kind of riddles were these?
It was not easy to guess at all.
“Hey daddy, the buttons on your shirt are hurting me.”
Cormac hugged his daughter tightly. He deliberately let the buttons on his shirt hurt her, but this little girl was slow-witted.
Andrew blinked while observing Cormac’s expression. He guessed, “Is it a button?”
Soon, he confirmed this answer in his mind, “The answer is a button. Haha, I guess it correctly again.”
Amanda glared at him fiercely, “How can it be a button?”
Oscar discouraged her, “It is a button. When you button up your clothes, don’t the buttons have to be exposed?”
Once she heard that this was really the answer, Amanda said immediately, “I’m the one who said buttons first. So, I’m the one who guessed correctly.”
“You didn’t say it was the answer,” Andrew replied.
“I’m the one who guessed correctly as I said it first,” Amanda said loudly as if whoever was louder made sense.
Kevin said to Oscar who was sitting beside him, “Amanda is indeed naughty.”
Oscar also laughed.
Loredana came out and called them for dinner.
Amanda got down from Cormac’s arms and ran to Loredana. She said aggrievedly, “Mommy, brother is always bullying me.”
Loredana caressed her head, “How does brother bully you again?”
“Alright, you guessed it correctly. You’re clever, okay? Don’t always complain. You’re going to a primary school soon and don’t be so childish.” Andrew walked to the dining room and sat down on the last chair after saying that.
“You’re also a kid. Don’t just talk about your sister.” Loredana glanced at him. He was still young, but he was acting like an adult every day.
“Hehe.” Amanda was happy when she heard Loredana scolding her brother. She forgot the unpleasant things just now and was not angry anymore. She walked to the dining room and sat beside her brother. “Brother, you’re not much older than me. It is just only a few minutes.”
Andrew glanced at his sister, “A few minutes is still older than you. You will have to call me brother for the rest of your life.”
“I would rather be your sister. You’re my elder brother and you have to be nice to your sister, understand? Otherwise, it is not right. The elder is supposed to let the young, do you know that?” She learned this from the preschool in City C.
She used this to argue with Andrew. This little guy was still very smart.
The dinner today was scrumptious. Theresa was also helping in the kitchen. Loredana saw her washing the dishes and vegetables when she entered the kitchen.
Loredana knew that she was not so happy today. Although she had adjusted her condition, she could not have returned to the initial state at once.
It was also impossible for her to fully recover just like in the beginning.
A broken item would still have a crack no matter how many times it was repaired.
Loredana told her to rest in her room. However, she said that it was better to do something than staying alone since one would think too much easily alone.
She was right too. So, Loredana did not ask her to rest and let her help in the kitchen. Everybody could chat together and forget those unpleasant things. Loredana went to get some wine when the dishes were served.
It was definitely impossible to do without wine for such an occasion today.
Loredana took a bottle of red wine. Even though alcohol was a necessity, she got red wine instead of liquor.
The main concern was the atmosphere.
The goblets were cleaned before. She opened the wine and put it on the table.
Jayden spoke suddenly, “Let’s have the wedding at the Century Tower.”
The Century Tower was a landmark in City B with 108 floors and more than five hundred metres. One could view the entire City B by standing on the one hundred and eighth floor.
There was a seven-star hotel next to it.
There was a total of seven seven-star hotels in the country. They were located in four of the more prosperous cities.
City B was one of these four prosperous cities and it was superb among them.
“Will this be too ostentatious?” Loredana felt that it would be too extravagant to do so. How much would it cost?
Those jewels would cost quite a lot.
“How many times do you plan to get married?” Oscar asked.
Loredana answered without hesitation, “Once, of course.”
She had not thought of getting married for the second time.
Cormac looked at her and smiled gently.
He seemed to like her answer.
She belonged to him for the rest of his life.
“Why don’t we make it even grand since it only happens once in a lifetime?” Oscar did not think that there was anything wrong with that. It was not because they were poor, yet he could pay for it since the money was left by her father anyway.
He just felt that Loredana was his elder brother’s only child. So, a grand wedding should be held if she got married.
It was undoubtedly true.
