She straightened our his collar, ironed very well, she then puffed her cheeks, “I don’t even have the heart to buy such expensive clothes for myself.”
Back then she just wanted to save money for the children, it was the first time that she spent so much money, mostly for him.
Cormac laughed softly, “Then, do you love me more than you love yourself?”
She didn’t have the heart to buy for herself but she would buy for him?
Loredana pouted, “I regret it, I’ll take it for a refund tomorrow.”
Cormac was speechless.
“I won’t allow that.”
He liked it, not because it was expensive, just because Loredana picked it for him, even if it was from stalls by the street, he would wear it too. Loredana put the clothes into the back and deliberately said, “There’s no use even if you won’t allow that.”
He was surprised, the corner of his eyes glistened, “Is that so?”
“Yeah… No, no…” she immediately changed what she said when she met Cormac’s face, smiling but didn’t seem like a smile.
“It’s too late.” before his words ended, he already pulled her into his embrace, Loredana pushed him away, “Don’t make a scene.”
“When did I make a scene? Hm?” he bent down to lean over, his lips pressed against her cheeks.
Loredana immediately changed what she said, “I won’t refund it, I’ll buy more for you if you like it.”
That way, she might go bankrupt.
“Mm, good girl.” he kissed her cheeks, “Let’s go downstairs.”
“Knock knock…”
Coincidentally, there was a knock on the door, it was Coral, “Young Master and Madam, we should go now.”
Cormac said, ‘okay’, he let Loredana go and tidied her hair that he messed up before, her hair was so smooth, waist-length, had never been dyed, and so shiny.
“Don’t keep them waiting.” said Loredana.
When they went downstairs, Boyce was already there, he had gotten along with the two children so they were very familiar with him, Simona was the most excited one, she pulled him and said, “We have a lot of fireworks, do you want to set it with me?”
Boyce rested his cheeks on his hand, deliberately acting like he was thinking, “Fireworks, is it fun?”
Simona innocently said, “Of course it’s fun.” she made gestures with her hands, “Just like this, it will go into the sky with a swish, then boom, it’ll explode, thus there will be a huge and shiny flower, very beautiful.”
Samuel was covering his eyes on the side, he really couldn’t help mocking her, “You thought that Boyce knows nothing? He’s toying with you.”
Simona blinked, “Toy me…?”
Samuel was speechless.
He was utterly speechless.
Suddenly Simona ran towards Loredana who just went down, she looked up and acted coyly, “Mommy, I’m hungry.”
“Let’s go now, the restaurant has called and prepared.” Victoria took Jayden’s coat and handed it to him, “Wear this first.”
Cormac carried the girl who was hugging Loredana’ leg.
Not sure why she wanted Loredana to hug her, “Mommy, hug me.”
“You can’t.” Cormac refused.
The girl was unhappy, “Why?”
Cormac glanced sideways at Loredana, “You see how she’s so slim, she can’t carry you in her arms.”
“She can, she used to carry me and my brother at the same time.” Simona refuted.
She thought at heart, ‘You don’t understand my Mommy as much as I do’.
“Your mommy is injured, she can’t carry you in her embrace.” Coral interrupted by saying that, thinking of the surprising bruise on Loredana’ waist, she then said, “Is the bathroom upstairs still not slip resistant?”
Coral never got married in her life. She knew what went on between couples, but she didn’t know that they would be this crazy about it.
Everyone, including Cormac Mendelsohn, looked toward her, “Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?”
Coral spoke ahead of Loredana Flores before she was able to say anything, “She slipped while she was taking a shower. Her waist was covered in bruises. I saw it when her sweater rolled up while she was eating. If I didn’t see it, she would definitely not say anything.”
“Are you okay? Why don’t we go to the hospital for a checkup?” Victoria Forbis asked in concern.
“I’m fine. I’m fine,” Loredana forced out a normal voice to talk to Victoria.
At this moment, she just wished the ground would swallow her up. She didn’t want to face anyone.
Cormac thought, did she trip last night?
How did he not know about it?
“Let’s go. It’s getting late already,” Loredana helped Samuel Flores wear his clothes. She deliberately changed the topic.
Cormac’s eyes fell on her waist. His lashes trembled as if he understood the reason.
Victoria was still worried. She went beside her and asked in a whisper, “Are you really alright?”
Loredana didn’t dare raise her head. She replied while helping her son wear his shoes, “I’m really fine.”
Victoria could see that Loredana didn’t want to talk about this.
Only Coral couldn’t see that Loredana kept on avoiding this topic. She asked again, “Is the bathroom upstairs not slip-resistant? It won’t do if it’s not. It would be slippery.”
“They are slip-resistant,” Victoria said. They actually used quality slip-resistant materials. Thus, she shouldn’t trip. It might be an accident that Loredana slipped. Victoria didn’t think of other things.
Coral still couldn’t understand it. How did she trip when it was slip-resistant already?
“Alright, let’s go out now,” Jayden Mendelsohn yelled.
Everyone wore their coats and walked out of the room one after another. The wind whooshed outside. It creaked as they walked on the snow.
Even Simona Flores didn’t want Loredana to hold her anymore. She lay obediently in Cormac’s arms.
Maybe the snow lit everything up. The sky was already dark, but it still looked bright.
