“It’ll take you a long time to finish them all. Let us help you make it faster,” said Theresa. She poked Loredana and asked, “Did you do it on purpose?”
After all, in the past, Chloe coveted Loredana’s husband. Now, they became relatives. Things were so unpredictable.
Loredana glanced at her, “Are you mocking me?”
“I’m a joke myself. Who would I mock?” Theresa walked to Coral, “I’ll cut the vegetables for you.”
Coral answered, “Okay. I’ll wash them.”
Loredana said, “I’ll cook them.”
They worked together and worked fast. Soon, the lunch was ready. Maxina and Kevin brought the baby home. Noah took Joshua from Kevin’s arms. He noticed that the baby looked like Loredana a lot.
“Have a rest, Maxina. I’ll get you a glass of water,” said Kevin.
Maxina walked over, “I can do it myself. Thank you, though. You should be quite tired as you’ve been holding the baby all the time.”
Maxina poured a glass of water to him.
Kevin smiled.
Coral walked out of the kitchen and said, “Guys, wash your hands. Time for lunch.”
They sat at the dining table. Dishes were served.
Maxina asked if Jayden was home.
Jayden was always out recently. He said he was going out to meet his friends.
Talking about him, Loredana couldn’t keep her smile. However, since she was with the guests, she forced a smile.
“It’s good to meet friends for an old man. His grandchildren are going to school. If he stays home all the time, he’ll feel bored,” said Chloe.
Loredana had also thought in the same way. Victoria had passed away, so Jayden must be quite lonely. She believed that it was good for him to meet his friends. As the junior in the family, she could only take care of him, but only his other half could provide him with the accompany mentally.
However, when Loredana thought about it now, she felt how careless she was. Jayden had been sick, but neither Cormac nor she knew about it.
She felt quite guilty as she didn’t care about the elder enough.
She filled Kevin’s bowl with soup, “How are you doing, Kevin?”
After knowing Jayden might be sick, she extremely cared about people around her, afraid that they might be sick as well. Kevin was also getting old. He was managing a factor in City C.
“I’m pretty well. I’m in good health. Now I have something to do, so I feel as if I’ve got younger. Only if you can come to City C with us. Then I can see the baby more often.”
After speaking, Kevin found that he had made a mistake, “Cormac wouldn’t let you go there, I’m sure,” he added.
In the past, Loredana also had such an idea. Now, she didn’t want to. Cormac was too busy. Loredana wanted to take good care of their family.
After lunch, Noah held the baby for a while. He couldn’t stay long as he needed to go back to the military base. Before leaving, he said, “Loredana, we’ll come to see you when we’re free.”
Loredana said, “Okay.”
Theresa had been staying in the villa quite often, so she was like in her own house. After lunch, she helped Coral do the dishes. Loredana went to take care of the baby.
After things were cleaned up, Theresa still hadn’t received any message from Armand. She started to be worried.
She took an initiative to send him a message.
He didn’t reply to her.
She wondered if Elizabeth was injured seriously.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t Armand reply to her?
Theresa felt uneasier and uneasier. Loredana held the baby. Seeing Theresa was in a daze while standing in front of the window, she walked over, “Theresa, what are you thinking?”
“What?”
Theresa looked back and answered, “Nothing.”
Then she added, “Mrs. Bernie fell. I wonder how she’s doing now.”
She didn’t want to hide anything from Loredana.
“When did it happen?” asked Loredana.
“This morning,” Theresa answered.
Loredana pulled out her cell phone, “I’ll call Armand and ask him.”
Theresa looked at her and hummed to answer. She wanted to know how Elizabeth was doing. Armand didn’t contact her, which made her quite uneasy.
Soon, Loredana heard the robotic voice from the other end of the line, “I’m sorry but the subscriber you dialled is power off…”
She looked over at Theresa with the phone in her hand, “Don’t worry. Probably his phone died.”
Theresa nodded. Reaching out, she wanted to carry the baby, “Let me hold him.”
Now the baby could look up. When Theresa held him, he looked around and his big round eyes kept rolling.
Theresa rubbed his head, “This little fellow’s hair is ink-black. He has so much hair.”
Loredana also thought that her son’s hair was quite good. When Andrew and Amanda were little, their hair didn’t look so good. It became better after they grew up gradually.
Right then, Loredana’s cell phone started vibrating. She pulled out the phone and saw Cormac’s caller ID. She swiped to answer.
Soon, she heard Cormac’s voice, “Come out.”
For a moment, Loredana didn’t get it, “What?”
“I’m at the gate.”
Since Abbott asked for a leave, Cormac had been quite busy. He always left home early and went back home late. Suddenly, he came back in the afternoon, which made Loredana shocked, “Why have you come back at this time.”
“Come out.”
Loredana was speechless.
“You can go out. I’ll take care of Joshua for you,” said Theresa with a smile.
