“I’m giving you a chance to show your performance.” Cormac shook his neck a bit.
Right then, his phone started vibrating.
He picked it up and swiped to answer. Then he heard Loredana’s hoarse voice from the other end of the line, “Cormac, please come home early today. I have something to tell you.”
Cormac could sense that something was wrong from her voice. He asked, “What happened, honey? Are you not feeling well?”
“Not really. Please come home early. I’ll be waiting for you no matter when you’ll come home.”
After that, she hung up the phone. Holding the phone, Cormac stared at the phone screen, slightly frowning. Then he put it down.
Abbott picked up the documents from his desk, “I must have owed you a lot,” he said.
Cormac curled up his lips and said, “I’ll give you a raise.”
Abbott couldn’t complain more as Cormac said so. He devoted himself to the work soon.
He walked away with the documents.
In the villa, Loredana adjusted her mood and walked out. Seeing that Noah was also there, she still smiled although she felt upset, “Why did you guys come here together?”
Theresa answered, “We met at the gate.”
“I came back to see Chloe. Since we are free, we decide to come to see you and the baby. Where is it? I want to hold the baby.” Noah smiled. His fair skin had turned to tanned skin. He used to look gentle but now he looked rough.
Loredana said, “The baby is out.”
Kevin came back with Theresa this time just for seeing the baby. Now it was getting cooler, Maxina and he took the baby out earlier today.
“I see.” Noah was a bit disappointed.
Loredana sat down and asked, “Did you say you came back to see Chloe? Isn’t Chloe serving in the military base now?”
“She resigned a long time ago.” Noah scratched his head, “She’s pregnant.”
“For real?” Loredana said with a smile, “Congratulations! You’ll be a father soon.”
Theresa’s gaze fell on Chloe’s abdomen. A trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes quickly.
As women, others could give birth, but she couldn’t.
She looked down expressionlessly.
Noah would become a father for the first time, so he was expectant and nervous. Right now, he was a bit embarrassed.
“We bought some gifts for the baby.” Chloe passed the boxes to Loredana. The latter took them over and said, “Thank you so much. Next time, please don’t bring anything. We don’t lack anything. The baby is growing fast. Things could be wasted.”
Chloe smiled, “We can’t come here with empty hands.”
“We are family,” said Loredana.
“Can I come to see you often in the future? You have the experience to give birth.” Chloe was afraid that Loredana was still disgusted about what had happened before.
In fact, she also felt a bit disgusted. However, she knew that it was because she was out of her mind so that she had done those wrong things.
After marrying Noah, she had understood a lot of things.
She treasured the current peaceful life she was leading.
“Of course,” Loredana smiled and answered.
“By the way, Noah has been promoted as the regimental commander,” said Chloe.
“Really?” Loredana looked over at Noah, “Are you the youngest regimental commander now? I’m so happy for you.”
“This is not my ultimate target. I must develop the Harris family and make it prosperous again,” said Noah solemnly.
Loredana said, “I believe you can.”
Chloe looked at Noah’s shiny eyes. In the past, she didn’t realize it but now she believed that Noah was a man worth spending the rest of her life with. His hardworking and generousness were so charming to her.
She believed that Noah could definitely make the Harris family prosperous again.
Chloe didn’t hide while staring at Noah. Seeing that, Loredana curled up her lips into a smile, feeling so happy for Noah and Chloe.
After experiencing so many things, the two families had changed a lot. When they were both in the most difficult time, the two fell in love and got married. Loredana believed that they must love each other truly. After all, a friend in need was a friend indeed.
“When will Joshua come back? I must go back tomorrow,” asked Noah.
He came here mainly to see the baby and visit Loredana by the way.
Loredana answered, “He’s been taken out for a while. He should come back soon. It’s so rare for you to come over. Please stay for lunch.”
“Sure,” Noah agreed happily.
When it was time to prepare lunch, Loredana asked Coral to cook more dishes.
Since Coral was alone, Loredana was worried that she would be too busy. She said, “If you are bored, Noah, you can go to the study and find some book to read.”
“I’m familiar with your house. I’ll make myself home.” Noah was quite relaxed.
Loredana stood up, “All right. I’m going to prepare lunch.”
“I’ll help you.” Chloe stood up.
Theresa said, “You are pregnant. Just stay here. I’ll help them in the kitchen.”
“It’s still young. I’m fine.” Chloe stood up. Loredana pressed her down, “We have enough helpers. If you are bored, please watch TV.”
Chloe was a bit embarrassed, “You are all busy, but I’m idle. I felt not so appropriate.”
Loredana smiled and said, “We’re family.” After that, she walked out of the living room. Theresa followed her. She pulled Theresa’s hand and asked, “Are you all right?”
Theresa shook her head, “I’m OK.”
Loredana heaved a sigh. She was worried about Theresa the most.
Although Theresa had hidden her depressed look very well, Loredana still noticed it.
Seeing that they come into the kitchen, Coral said, “I can handle it all by myself.”
