At 12 o’clock, the New Year’s bell rang.
The new year had arrived.
The two children were too excited so they did not want to go to sleep and ended up not being able to wake up the next day.
The two children spent their day on their bed on the first day of the New Year.
The second day of the year was Loredana’ birthday.
Samuel bought her a super big cake.
After giving birth to her two children, Loredana had never celebrated her birthday. She had experienced severe pain during labour and understood that her birthday was a day of suffering for her mother. So, in the past, every year on her birthday, she would not buy a cake, she would not bother to remind anyone about her birthday, she would only buy a present for Maxina.
She did not expect that Samuel would buy her such a big cake with eight tiers. O the top, there was a doll in a wedding dress.
True, it was a doll in a wedding dress, it did not look like a birthday cake but it looked like a wedding cake.
“Does it look good?” Samuel asked.
Loredana nodded, “It looks good but it’s a bit strange.”
Samuel pointed at the doll on the top, “You mean that she’s weird?”
Without waiting for Loredana to say yes, he explained, “You are a fashion designer and have designed wedding dresses for many people, but you had never worn it yourself. I want you to wear it once, I think, if you wear, you be the prettiest.”
Samuel heard that Loredana had never worn a wedding dress from Maxina.
Once, Loredana had designed a wedding dress for a client. It was super beautiful. Samuel said, “Mummy must look even better if you put on it.”
Maxina looked gloomy by the side.
Samuel only knew that Loredana did not wear a wedding dress when she was married when he beat around the bush.
In his heart, he despised Cormac. He thought that he was a mean man!
Cormac stood in front of the French sash to answer a call. It was Boyce who called. The results had come out. Garrett did not die suddenly but he was poisoned. He had consumed nitrite. “According to the maid, Maxina has been preparing three meals for Garrett a day. She had the opportunity and the motive, now Maxina has been officially detained, waiting to be investigated.” Cormac cast his gaze over, looking at the scene in the living room. His eyes were deep.
“I, as a criminal police officer, can’t do anything to condone such matter. Of course, I know who she is, all I can do is to try to make it manslaughter. I won’t let her suffer. Garrett is certainly wrong but she is breaking the law by doing this. About Ms. Flores…”
There was a big difference between intentional homicide and manslaughter charges.
“Don’t let her know first.” He had not figured out how to tell Loredana yet. They were very happy now. He did not want to disturb them.
He did not want to spoil it.
“I know,” Boyce said.
Cormac hung up the call and walked over.
He had just heard Samuel’s words. He looked at the doll on the cake.
“Dad.”
“Hmm?”
The little girl beckoned towards him, “You bent down, I want to share you a secret.”
Obediently, Cormac bent down and leant his ear towards her.
“The secret is that I …”
She suddenly stretched the hand behind her back and wiped Cormac’s face with cake.
“The secret is that I’m going to wipe your face with cake, hehe…”
Cormac froze for a moment before picking her up, “Little naughty girl.”
The little girl smiled happily.
“Aren’t you giving mummy a present?” Samuel said it purposely. He felt that Cormac did not know today was Loredana’ birthday.
Hearing her son’s words, Loredana was anticipating something.
Cormac pondered for a moment and said, “No, I did not prepare anything.”
Samuel pulled his face down, “Don’t think that my mummy belongs to you.”
Loredana was also a little disappointed, but she knew him well that he would not prepare a gift for anyone. If he did, she would feel surprised.
Cormac looked at Loredana and laughed lightly, “Who dares to want her?”
Whoever dared to ask for her, he would peel his skin.
“Alright, alright.” Loredana brought the two children to wash their faces and hands. There was cream everywhere.
“I still want to eat.” Simona did not want to go and wash her face and hands.
“I’ll wash her later,” Coral said as she walked.
Loredana thought for a moment. That was what she could do for now. There was cream on her body. She wanted to go upstairs to change a clean shirt. There was no one in the house. She found her clothes from the cupboard, stood in front of it and took off the cream stained clothes she had on. She did not notice that Cormac also followed her up.
Cormac pushed the door open and saw that she was naked on the top half of her body. The bruise around her waist had not yet completely faded. Her skin was white. So, that patch was particularly noticeable. She quickly put on a jumper and this hid Cormac’s view.
Loredana tidied up her collar. She saw Cormac standing in the doorway when she turned around. Her first reaction was to ask, “When did you come up?”
“When you came up, I came up?” He deliberately asked a rhetorical question.
Loredana frowned. It meant that he had been watching her when she changed her clothes?
Although the two of them had been intimate. She still felt shy when recalling that she took off her clothes in front of him.
Cormac came in, closed the door and looked at her slightly red face. He lifted a strand of her hair and twisted it in between his fingers, “Are you blushing?”
“No.” Loredana turned her head.
“Don’t be shy. Moreover, I had seen all your body.”
This man!
Loredana glared at him angrily, “Can you behave properly?”
