She would hate to part with him, knowing that or not.
Suddenly, she tiptoed, wrapped his neck, and kissed him… His lips were quite cold but so soft, there was a faint smell of blood, her blood.
Loredana kept kissing him deeper though she was not skilled in doing this.
Their breaths lingered between their lips and teeth, she closed her eyes as her crystal clear tears shone, hanging on her eyelashes.
Cormac held her face, his finger pulp softly brushed her eyes, wiping away the tears on the corner of her eyes, and gently said, “What happened?”
He sniffed and looked down, “Do I need to give you a reason to kiss you?”
Cormac hugged her and sat down, his hands were around her hips, “Where did you go today? Did you meet someone?”
Loredana leaned on his embrace and blinked, “I went to the clothing store.”
“That’s all?” Cormac was surprised, he received a call from the hospital that day, saying that she went for a check up at the hospital, she had a slight fever but the fetus was growing well and seemed to become stable, that could be considered as a good news.
Why did she lie? Did she meet Maxina at the hospital?
He slightly heaved a sigh, pressed Loredana’ head on his chest, and rubbed her forehead… Luckily, it was not very hot, he sincerely said, “Just give birth to our child well, don’t think too much about everything else… Leave it to fate, no one can change their destiny.”
Cormac thought that she lost her control because she knew Jennifer’s illness, that was why he said that.
Loredana sensed what he meant too, but she didn’t explain… She lifted her head and looked at him, “Do you have some free time tomorrow? Let’s go and change the children’s surname back.”
Her surname was Flores, she couldn’t let the two children follow her surname.
Furthermore, Cormac was the children’s father, they should follow his surname.
He looked down, “Hmm? Why did you think of changing surname?” he wrapped her waist even tighter, “We’re husband and wife, we don’t need to divide things.”
Loredana was scared that she couldn’t control her feelings, she buried her face in his embrace, suppressed her voice and tried to make it sound as relaxed as possible, so people would think that it was normal upon hearing it, “Children following their father’s surname is the tradition of your country they’re soon going to the elementary school, I don’t want people to speculate and comment on their identity.” Her words were quite logical.
Cormac muttered, “Samuel Mendelsohn doesn’t sound good either.”
“You can make another one for them I’ll bring them to the police station and change it tomorrow.” her face was sticking to his chest, she was listening to his strong heart beats as she fondly sniffed the smell tha only belonged to him.
She was scared that… there wouldn’t be any chance later.
Cormac took the pen from the table, removing the pen cap with one finger, and pulled a 4K paper over… The tip of the pen landed on the clean white paper as he said, “My surname is Mendelsohn…”
His writing was strong and unique, he wrote several characters on the paper with just a few strokes, “The characters won’t change, add one from your name in the middle…”
Loredana leaned over and saw the words on the paper. Samuel and Simona’s last name was changed to Mendelsohn, now their names are Andrew Mendelsohn and Amanda Mendelsohn.
She turned her head slightly to look at him. His eyelashes were long and thick, and his delicate, well-defined face was warm.
Cormac bent his head and gently kissed her cheek, then said in a low voice, “Is this good? With me and with you.”
Loredana agreed and said, “Yes.”
A crystal lamp hung from the ceiling. The yellowish light created a quiet and warm atmosphere.
The two said nothing and just snuggled up to each other. It was Loredana who broke the silence first, “Are you busy tomorrow?”
“What?” He lowered his eyes.
Loredana tilted her head, rubbed the tip of her nose against his chin, and pouted, “I want you to stay with me. I’m too aggravated to be married to you and have been giving birth to you. We haven’t held hands and gone shopping together, nor have we gone on a trip together, nor have we gone to the movies together. I think about it and feel that I have lived a life of too much loss.”
He had a rare smile on his face and said softly, “You’re still not satisfied with me?”
“If you don’t have time, I’ll go find a handsome man to accompany me. Hiss…”
Before she could finish her words, Cormac bit her shoulder. He bit hard and gnawed the bones in her shoulder with his teeth. He warned as if in punishment, “Try to find one?”
Loredana frowned in pain. She knew without looking that there must be deep teeth marks on her shoulder. She hooked her arm around his neck, “How much do you hate me? Are you going to bite me to death?”
He didn’t leave, but said sullenly, “Don’t worry, you won’t die in front of me. If you want to die, I will die first. I will explore the road first, and then drag you with me. Otherwise, I’ll be alone in hell.” Loredana was speechless.
She frowned, “So ruthless?”
Cormac tightly circled her slender, soft body, “Of course. You’re my wife, even if you’re dead.”
Loredana was speechless once again.
Knock, knock…
At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the study.
It was Coral’s voice, “Dinner’s ready.”
Loredana looked up at him and said, “I’m hungry.”
Cormac stood up with her by the waist, “Let’s go.”
She smiled and walked out of the study with him on her arm. Simona was playing with Armand in the living room. She didn’t know what Armand said, but the little girl was chasing him all over the house. Boyce slouched on the couch with his arms stretched out. Looking at Armand, who was being chased, he snickered, “Can you run away?”
Armand took the time to look at him, “It’s none of your business.”
Samuel sat on the sofa and sighed slightly, thinking how Mr. Bernie was like a child and so naughty.
Boyce rubbed his hair, “You’re so young, yet you love to sigh so much. Aren’t you afraid of becoming bald?”
Samuel looked up at him, “I won’t be worse off than you. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Boyce was speechless.
How was he, how was he worse off?
“Where am I worse off?” Boyce sat upright.
“When I’m as old as you are, I’m sure I’ll have a wife. Even if I become bald, so what? It’s better than not being able to find a wife, right?” Boyce was speechless again.
Who did he piss off? He deserved to die because he didn’t have a wife?
Why were they all making fun of him for this?
Why did he live so tired?
“Dad.”
