Loredana looked down, even if she gave birth to Cormac, she had missed the period where he needed care and love the most.
Cormac was not even close with her at that time.
Victoria was very regretful in her life, she was pitiable and great at the same time.
If it were her, she might not be able to do it.
“Give Cormac more advice, tell him not to think about it anymore.” Marina sighed, “Actually, I also understand it, if it hasn’t been a month since my mom passed away and my dad marries someone else, I might hate her more, maybe even stab her with a knife… Such matter, if it doesn’t happen to you then you won’t be able to understand it, saying that you sympathize, can you really sympathize? No, only men can stay calm, even if Cormac and Jayden’s relationship was rigid these years, but in the end he didn’t do anything over the line, such indifference, he just can’t let go, as his wife, you should enlighten him.” Loredana softly said yes.
Some of what Marina said was true, there was no sympathizing for such matter, you could never feel what the person involved was feeling, only those who had ever experienced the same thing could experience that state of mind.
After she listened to Victoria’s problem, she kept looking at the problem from Victoria’s point of view and gave Cormac advice.
But she did not look at the problem from Cormac’s point of view.
He didn’t know that Victoria was his mother, the previous twists and turns, he didn’t even know the sacrifices Victoria had made for him.
So she should also look at the problem from his point of view.
“Today, I’m going back first.”
The door of the study room was opened, Cormac and Jeffery walked out one by one.
“I’ll send you guys home.” said Jeffery.
Cormac refused, saying that it was cold outside, the car was just right in front, they could just enter the car after going out.
Seeing them coming out, Loredana stood up from the sofa, Cormac walked over, “Let’s go home.”
Loredana nodded.
“It’s still early, why don’t you stay for a little more?” Marina held them back.
“Nah, it’s getting late.” Loredana really wanted to know what Jeffery and Cormac were talking about.
Marina said that out of courtesy as well, she could see that Loredana was indeed hoping to leave, “Come and visit if you have time.”
“I’ll visit when there’s a chance to.” Loredana put the jacket on her two children, Marina came over and helped “After the new year, I’ll be one year older.” Simona blinked as she spoke cutely.
Marina was amused, “Yeah, you’ll be a year older again, when you’ve grown up, I’ll be old.”
“You’re not old.” said Simona.
Marina smiled widely and praised, “You’re a smooth talker.”
Jeffery walked over at that time, handed the two children two red packets.
“It’s your first time here, here’s our first meeting gift, new years money, I’ll give you more when you come again.”
“Tomorrow is the New Year’s Eve.”
“No need.” Loredana didn’t think that it was good, the red packet seemed very thick, she could see that even if Jeffery was very extreme about Jolene’s matter, he was an upright and good leader.
“I gave it to the children, furthermore, it’s their first time coming to my house, it’s a tradition and my good intention.” Jeffery liked the senior tone of speaking.
Marina also agreed, “Keep it, make the children happy, I don’t have anything prepared for the children.”
Loredana told the children to thank Jeffery.
“Thank you Jeffery.” the two children said that at the same time.
“Yes, sure.” Jeffery stroked Samuel’s head, “Eat nicely, when you’ve grown tall it will be easier to come with me and be a soldier.”
“Yes.” Samuel nodded strongly, seemed like he was really interested in being a soldier.
Marina and Jeffery stood by the door and saw them out.
The car quickly drove out, Loredana sat next to Cormac, she could faintly smell alcohol from his body.
In the end, Loredana couldn’t help asking, “What did you guys talk about in the study room?”
Seemed like Cormac had predicted that she would ask, but he didn’t expect her to ask so impatiently.
He leaned back and looked at her seriously.
Loredana was annoyed because of his gaze, she blinked, “Why do you look at me like that? Am I not supposed to ask?” “Yeah.”
Loredana’ heart thumped.
Seeing Loredana’ changing expression, Cormac sighed and hugged her.
“I’ll tell you when we get home.”
Loredana leaned on his embrace, gave it a thought, and said, “Sorry that I kept advising you to accept Victoria, but I have never consider your feelings.”
Cormac looked down, quite surprised, the good kind of surprise, he then hugged her tighter.
“Shall we change their surname?” Loredana suddenly asked.
She had heard it from Boyce before that the children should change their surname back, she didn’t mind it at that time… This time, Jeffery had such a big reaction, she thought that maybe changing their surname back was the right thing to do.
After all, she had accepted him and that family.
“Why should we?” Cormac didn’t think that it was a problem.
“If we don’t, don’t they belong to the Flores family?” Actually, Loredana didn’t want their surname to be Flores, she had no choice.
“We are yours, nothing to do with the Flores family.” Cormac never thought that they belonged to the Flores family because their surname were Flores, for him, the two children belonged to Loredana, she was pregnant for 10 months, foster them, no one was qualified to replace her.
Loredana grabbed his collar, “We are husband and wife now, what will other people think when our children follow my surname?” she teased him on purpose, “Won’t others think that you’re a man married and lived in a woman’s family? That’s why our children follow my surname?”
“Naughty.” he laughed hoarsely and kissed her earlobe, “I’ll be willing to, if I can marry you with that.”
Loredana immediately pulled away, there was the driver in front, but he didn’t refrain himself from doing that.
He smiled even more.
The hospital.
It was already afternoon when Theresa woke up.
