Boyce looked at Armand, he was in a bad mood, “I don’t want to bet with you because I think this is meaningless.”
Armand moved near him, “What do you think is meaningful?”
He looked at Boyce’s lower part, Boyce didn’t have a girlfriend before. He understood well that a man would have sexual desire since puberty, he must already have the sexual desire at this age. Armand was curious, how did Boyce settle it normally.
“I don’t believe that you didn’t have the desire before.”
Boyce laughed coldly, “You think that everyone is the same as you? You’re shameless.”
“I’m behaving normal, but you’re abnormal.”
“Nonsense, you’re not behaving normal, you just want to mate.”
“How can you talk in this way?” Armand took the liquor and forced it into his mouth, “Let’s wash your mouth, so that you can talk properly next time.”
“Begone… Uh, damn you, Armand-
-“Armand was really forcing the liquor into his mouth, the liquor which was not swallowed was flowing down his neck, making the smell all over his body. Boyce pushed Armand away and pulled his collar, he wiped his neck and his eyes looked fiercely at Armand, “Let me tell you, you’re just lacking self-control, it’s not normal okay? Is being promiscuous considered normal? Armand, have some respect to yourself, if you’re still behaving like this and don’t want to change, Theresa will definitely abandon you.”
Armand’s face had changed once Boyce mentioned about Theresa, Boyce was really aiming on his wound and stabbing it.
“Can you don’t rub salt into my wound?”
He was just being promiscuous before he was in a relationship with Theresa. He was doing wrong about the matter related to Phoebe Lewis, he was not being honest enough with Theresa, hence causing a misunderstanding which had hurt her.
During these few months when Theresa had left, he was living in sorrow and trouble, the scene that Theresa disappeared in the fire appeared in his mind during every night when he couldn’t sleep. He had woken up with a start from his dream for many times.
The atmosphere in the room became silent because of Boyce mentioning about Theresa. Without the noises from Armand and Boyce, even the air was freezing with boredom.
For the two bottles of liquor ordered just now, Cormac had drunk one bottle while another bottle was empty already. He felt that he hadn’t drunk enough, but the liquor had finished already, so he asked the waiter to send another two.
Boyce didn’t stop him, just drinking. There was no one talking, they just kept on drinking without eating anything.
These two bottles were soon finished, Boyce didn’t drink too much, so he was still conscious. However, Armand and Cormac had drunk too much, they were half-lying on the couch, the room was full of liquor smell.
Although he was not drunk, but he drank a lot too, so for sure he couldn’t drive. He could only give Abbott Baron a call to let him come and fetch them.
They brought two of the men who were drunk into the car one by one, then sent them home.
They had sent Cormac first. The bodyguards outside the bungalow were withdrawn after Loredana left, so there was only Coral staying alone in the bungalow.
Seeing that Cormac was drunk, Coral immediately made a cup of honey water for him after Boyce and Abbott left.
The light was not switched on in the dim room, the window was not tightly closed, the wind was blowing the curtain sometimes.
Coral served the honey water beside the bed and asked, “Drink some water…”
“Get out.” Coral was interrupted when she hadn’t even finished talking.
The man that Boyce thought that he was drunk and unconscious, was talking in a clear voice now.
Coral put the honey water on the table and sighed, she turned and walked outside, then closed the door.
There was a tall person lying on the stomach in the large bed, one side of his face sank in the pillow. With his head facing on one side, he looked at the empty place beside him, it was the place where Loredana slept before.
He stretched his arm, seemed like he wanted to feel her warmth when she was here, but the place that he could reach with his fingers was cold.
His heart had also become cold, the fingers on the blanket curled up tightly and slowly, the blanket was folded and became messy soon in his hand.
He buried his face in the pillow, his hoarse voice was full of sadness, “I miss you.”
Initially he thought that he wouldn’t think of her anymore by getting drunk, but the more he was getting drunk, his mind became clearer. His mind was full of Loredana’s looks, how was she now?
How were their children?
Meanwhile at City C.00000000
Meanwhile at City C.
Loredana had poured a cup of water when she woke up during the night due to thirst, but she couldn’t fall asleep anymore after drinking the water and got back to the bed, so she directly woke up and took a book to read while sitting at the bedside.
She was sleeping alone in the room, the two children were sleeping in another rooms, so she didn’t have to worry that she might disturb them. The place she lived was not a detached house, it was a residentia area with great environment and facilities, and it was quiet. There was one unit at each floor, the area was neither too big nor small, it was one hundred and sixty square meters with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room.
When Theresa was back, she would also stay here. Loredana was the one who had asked Theresa to stay here because Theresa was hurt before, there were more people staying here and could avoid her from staying alone and thinking too much, the four bedrooms were just enough for them to stay.
There was a bookshelf being placed at the right side of the window in her bedroom, it was full of books. The books were not related to fashion design, they were China’s cultural history books. As a powerful country with history of five thousand years, the ancestors had left uncountable intangible cultural heritages which were profound.
Some of these books were related to embroideries.
There were many types of embroideries, like hands embroidery, seeding embroidery, gold thread embroidery, double-sided embroidery and so on. She had noticed in the past, but she didn’t research deep into these, now she realized that these things were so beautiful after she calmed down.
Especially the traditional culture of the country, in which the red color gave a good symbol and meaning.
She had read a paragraph of article talking about the ancient marriage in a book, she was so attracted to the wedding dress inside.
The wedding dress, ‘gown’ which was popular nowadays, was the first choice of most young couples.
It was white and clean, representing the purity of love.
In fact, this wasn’t the implied meaning at the beginning, it was the explanation given by the people at later time. The origin of gown could be traced back to the Roman times, because during that time, white color symbolized joy, it was that simple and just similar to our country in which red color was the color of joy.
Visually, Loredana felt that red color could represent more joyful and lively atmosphere.
Red color was full of enthusiasm, as bright as the fire, deep but hot. She felt that this could reflect more of the feeling than gown when someone got married, it was positive and enthusiastic, some more it brought the curiosity of the future.
From her thought, this was the feeling when getting married, looking forward and being curious of the future, with enthusiasm as well.
This time, she had created a series of wedding dress with a total of twelve pieces. All of the designs were made referring to the ancient wedding dress, combining with some modern elements, every dress have different patterns, the embroidery was different as well, but the main fabric was the same.
The combination of Tea silk with different embroideries as well as the combination of ancient wedding dress with modern elements, giving a whole new design and symbol, she had named this series as Modern Chinese.
She found out that the modern Chinese interior design was popular recently in the country, so it meant that the people were still having deep affections to the things that were left by the ancestors.
She not only wanted to let Tea silk come back into people’s sights again, but she also wanted to expand this culture to other places as well. She had the connections, it wasn’t difficult for her to have a fashion show at international level. What she wanted to do now, was to make this series perfect and she must make it shine in the international arena.
She had faced a lot of problems during the process of making, she was researching about these recently. Although she was a bit tired, but her life was enriched. Sometimes when she was free, she would miss that person as well, but she had spent more time in researching and solving the problems. She would keep on repeating the experiment, the designs would also be changed as the patterns changed, so the time had passed quickly.
This night was still the same, she had fallen asleep in the bed when reading the book, the book was still in her hand.
She hadn’t woken up even at daybreak.
