After listening to him, Loredana agreed. Through meeting each other, they couldn’t untie the knots in their hearts. Only after Armand got to know Theresa’s health condition would the problem be resolved.
She looked back at Theresa, “Theresa, you must be hungry. Please go ahead to eat. You can wait for me in the lounge after the meal. I want to have a private conversation with you.” Theresa nodded, “Okay.”
Then she walked to the table where Boyce was sitting at.
In the end, the new couple went to the table where the Harris family and Jayden were sitting at. Oscar and Maxina were also there. The table was full of elders, who were involved in the love and grudges in the past.
After everything was clear, the knots in their hearts had been untied. They also decided to forget about the grudges before. For the happiness of the later generations, they shook hands and reconciled with each other.
Seeing Loredana, Jeffery was too excited to speak. He had a lot of words to tell her, but after meeting her in person, he didn’t know how to start.
Finally, he seriously made an apology for what he had done, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright. Let the bygones be bygones. Let’s not mention them any longer. From now on, we’re family.” When she spoke, Loredana didn’t cry again although her throat dried out. “Excuse me, Loredana.”
Noah walked to her with a girl. All people at the scene knew her.00
Loredana was too surprised to return to her senses for a while.
Noah introduced the girl to Loredana, “This is my girlfriend.”
Chloe felt a bit embarrassed. After all, they had experienced that embarrassment before. Now they met again, and she had become Noah’s girlfriend.
“Congratulations on your wedding!” She forced a smile stiffly. She felt quite awkward about the relationship.
She was quite similar to Noah – when her family declined, she left home and struggle. Without obeying her father Eddie’s plan, she determinedly joined the military with Noah.
They had grown up together and been quite close to each other. They were too close to think about falling in love in the past.
After getting along with each other in the military base, they had a crush on each other.
Noah said jokingly, “I made her my girlfriend to avoid her making trouble.”
Chloe poked him with her elbow, complaining that he was exposing her shortage.
Since it was the past, Loredana wasn’t petty. She didn’t want to be angry with the bygones. With a smile, she said, “I’m so glad you guys came.”
Chloe bit her bottom lip, “Thank you.”
She knew she was wrong in the past, feeling quite sorry for Loredana and Cormac. Loredana accepted that she became Norah’s girlfriend and didn’t kick her out of her wedding. Chloe could tell that Loredana was a generous woman.
Thinking of what she had done in the past, Chloe felt quite ashamed.
Maxina stood up and pulled a chair for Loredana, “Loredana, sit down and eat something.”
She knew that Loredana was too busy to grab something to eat today.
As she spoke, she looked over at Cormac, “You, too. Sit down and eat with Lola.”
Cormac wrapped Loredana’s waist and sat down. There were only their family members at this table, who had already been reconciled and been getting along well. Noah and Chloe sat down next to Jeffery. Jeffery wanted to speak to Loredana, but he didn’t know how to start. He tried to start a subject several times but finally, he stopped. While he was hesitating, Oscar said, “Cormac, let’s have a toast.” Cormac poured the liquor and they gulped down together. Oscar asked, “Are you drunk yet?”
He had been toasting with different guests on the way to the table. Oscar had seen him keep drinking.
Since he didn’t drink red wine together with the liquor, Cormac could handle it, “Do you want to have more shots?”
Cormac poured another glass of liquor for him.
Oscar said with a smile, “Of course. This is the wedding toast for Lola and you. How could one-shot be enough?”
After the second shot, Jeffery finally uttered a word, “Well… Lola.”
He always wanted to find a chance to talk to Loredana. She almost finished eating, so he must start the subject now. Otherwise, it would be too late.
Loredana didn’t feel anything odd when being with Noah. However, she didn’t know how to get along with Jeffery. She pressed her lips tightly.
Jeffery knew that she hadn’t been used to him yet, so he didn’t ask her to call him Uncle immediately.
“I have a gift for you.”
He pulled a gift box from Marina’s bag, handing it over to Loredana.
It was wrapped in a gift box, so Loredana didn’t know what was in there. After a hesitation, she took it over, “Thanks.”
“We’re family, aren’t we? You are welcome.” Jeffery smiled with reddened eyes. The older he got, the more he longed for family affection. He hoped his family could reunite one day. Loredana put the box on her lap, wondering what she could talk about with him.
“I’m so happy to witness Cormac and you get married. You two must be happy. Cormac could forgive me for your sake. I can tell he cares about you a lot. You should treat him well.” Loredana lowered her head and answered, “Yes, I know.”
She didn’t want to show her reddened eyes to others.
After the banquet was over, Jayden helped them to walk the guests out. Marina took a chance to say to Loredana, “Come to our house when you are free.”
She knew her husband well. Although Jeffery didn’t ask Loredana to visit him, he yearned for it a lot.
Loredana agreed and said OK.
When she could be calm when facing them, she would.
Maxina was sent back home by one of Boyce’s subordinates. Before leaving, she said to Loredana, “I can leave the hospital before you give birth. I can take care of you during the confinement.” Loredana hugged her and asked her to take care of herself.
Maxina nodded.
After seeing off their close friends and family members, Cormac asked Loredana if she was exhausted. She nodded.
“I’ll take care of Armand’s matter next time then.”
Loredana had forgotten about Armand. In a hurry, she shook her head, “Let’s get it done today.”
She was afraid that Cormac would refuse, she added, “I’m all right. I’m tired because my belly is getting bigger and bigger. I’ll always worry if Theresa’s matter couldn’t be resolved. I’ve promised her not to tell Armand about it, but if Armand overheard it by himself, I wouldn’t break the promise.”
She felt sorry for Armand. Besides, she could tell that Theresa still loved Armand although she behaved cruelly.
Cormac made an excuse to ask Theresa to send Loredana back to the lounge.
According to their plan, after they went to the lounge, Loredana would talk to Theresa. Then, Cormac would take Armand to the door of the lounge, so that he could overhear the women’s conversation.
Theresa was a bit absent-minded. She felt a bit worried because Armand hadn’t shown up.
Loredana sat on the sofa, while Theresa kept silent, looking quite spiritless.
“You must be tired today.” Loredana poured a glass of water for her.
