After a while, Theresa heard his even breathing.
Armand was really drunk and he had fallen asleep at the moment.
Theresa was speechless.
At the same time, she was relieved too. If Armand was not drunk, she must have no idea how to continue the conversation.
However, Armand just turned over and she could just take off his topcoat.
She placed his topcoat on the bedside and took off his shoes as well. She then put them nicely on the bed and pulled the quilt to cover his body.
She went to the bathroom and took a basin of warm water. Then, she used it to wipe his face and hands.
Mrs. Leslie still had not awoken. The doctor had come to check her room at the night time and said that all her parts were normal. After she had settled Armand, she sat on the sofa and took a rest.
She had not slept for the whole night and she was feeling tired at that moment. Then, she heard Armand’s voice when she was in a daze and was going to fall asleep.
“Thirsty, I’m thirsty.” His eyes were closed and he felt an intense pain at the parts of his stomach and throat like they were burnt on fire.
Theresa got up to pour a glass of water for him.
“Thirsty.” He was murmuring continuously.
Theresa sighed and then she brought the glass of water over. She assisted him to get up. After that, she placed the water near to his lips and tilted the glass. Armand felt the water and drank in a big gulp.
He felt that the dryness and pain in his throat was relieved a little bit after he finished drinking a glass of water.
“Do you want to have some more?” Theresa asked.
Armand did not answer her question and he seemed to fall asleep again. Theresa placed him down and used the quilt to cover him. Since she saw that he was sleeping soundly, she went to put the glass down at the other side.
On the other hand, Cormac who had finished the meal with them went back to the Mendelsohn family. Loredana and their two children were all staying there. Even though he did not want to see Victoria, he still went there.
The villa looked bright as it was lighted up. He heard laughter coming from the villa through the door. He had no idea what they were doing. He pushed the door and saw Jayden who was watching the TV news in the living room. Then, he also saw Loredana who was wrapping dumplings with their two children in the dining room. It seemed like they were having fun and the two children were very happy.
Thomas walked over and called him softly, “Young master.”
Cormac threw his topcoat to him and walked in.
“Daddy.” Simona who was holding a dumpling that was just wrapped by her in her hand ran towards him with her short legs as she wanted to show off her dumpling in his front. “Daddy, look! This is the dumpling that I wrapped, does it look nice?”
Cormac bent down and carried his daughter. He smiled and replied her, “Hmm.”
“Daddy, come and join us. Mummy have made many dumpling of different ingredients. We can make seafood and pork-stuffed dumplings, garlic chives and eggs dumpling and also beef dumplings. Which one do you like to have?”
Cormac pinched his daughter’s small little nose, “Daddy likes the dumplings that you wrapped.”
“Daddy, you think the dumpling that I wrapped look nice, right?” The little girl was holding the dumpling in her hand and showed it to Cormac.
Cormac was looking at the ‘dough’ which was held in his daughter’s hand. His eyelashes were flapping. He was sure that he couldn’t recognize it if Simona didn’t tell him that it was a dumpling.
Obviously, it looked like a dough and he did not find out any sign of dumplings on it at all.
“Who taught you to wrap dumpling?”
“Mummy.” Simona answered proudly.
Cormac walked over. There were two kinds of dumplings on the table. One of it looked very delicate and another one looked really bad. Cormac laughed lightly, “You didn’t inherit the true ability of wrapping dumpling from your mummy.”
Simona was blinking her eyes as she did not understand his words.
Loredana raised her head and looked at him, “Do you think the dumplings that I wrapped look ugly?”
Cormac shook his head, “No, it’s not ugly.”
It was obvious that it looked so nice and delicate.
Samuel showed Cormac the dumplings that were wrapped by Loredana, “This is the dumpling that is wrapped by mummy. Does it look nice?”
It could be considered looking like a dumpling.
Cormac looked at his son, “Didn’t you the one who wrap this dumpling?”
“This is the dumpling that was wrapped by mummy.” Samuel just revealed the true answer.
Cormac headed up and saw Loredana who seemed like asking him, “Is it really like that?”
“I have not wrapped dumplings before this.” That was the first time for her to wrap dumpling. Furthermore, she just learned it from Victoria.
All those delicate dumplings were made by Victoria.
“All these dumplings that looked delicate were wrapped by grandma. They look beautiful, right?” Samuel headed up and asked Cormac while looking at him.00000000
The smile on Cormac Mendelsohn’s face was gradually disappearing, leaving only a cold expression.
Victoria Forbis was serving the cooked dumplings, she coincidentally saw what had happened in the dining room just now, the smile on Cormac’s face was disappearing.
She felt very sad, but she didn’t dare to express it. She pretended as if nothing had happened, she smiled and said, “The dumplings are done, do you guys want to have some?”
Cormac cast a glance, all of the dumplings inside were looking nice, so that meant all of them were made by Victoria. He pretended that he didn’t listen of her, he pulled the chair and sat down holding her daughter in his arms.
Victoria stood there, she didn’t know what she needed to do next.
The two children enjoyed making the dumplings so much, but about eating, they were not hasty.
When Loredana Flores just wanted to say that she wanted to eat, Jayden Mendelsohn walked towards them, pulled the chair and sat on the seat of honour, then he said, “Give me.”
Victoria lowered her eyes and served the dumplings.
“Dumplings shall be eaten together with vinegar, I’ll go get some for you.” Samuel Flores slid down the chair and said, “I’ll go get some for grandpa.”
Jayden Mendelsohn looked amiable, his eyes were filled with gratification when he smiled. Since he married Victoria, his relationship with Cormac was not good, but he didn’t think of his grandson for being so considerate.
Samuel laughed, “Grandpa shall give me a big red packet during Chinese New Year.”
For the past Chinese New Year, Loredana Flores and Maxina Lennon were always the people who would give him red packets, he didn’t care of the amount of money inside, but he enjoyed the happiness of receiving red packet.
Happiness was important during Chinese New Year.
Jayden Mendelsohn laughed out loud, “Alright, I will give you a big one.”
