“I’m talking about the steak. How could I be talking about you?” Theresa put more food on Amanda’s plate, “Come on, eat faster. We have to go to the supermarket to buy radishes for your mommy. The supermarket will be closed later.”
Andrew kept his head down and ate. This was the war of adults. He couldn’t intervene. His ability was limited, and he had done what he could. Now, he had to feed himself first.
Cormac remained as an outsider, watching them quietly. Obviously, although Theresa’s identity was not revealed, they were all clear.
Theresa’s words aroused his interest, “Are you guys going to cook something?”
Could it be that Loredana wanted to eat something made by radishes?
“No, it’s your wife who wants to eat green radishes, the crispy kind.” Theresa also wondered why Loredana suddenly liked to eat this. Cormac was speechless.
“After dinner, I’ll go with you.” Although Loredana’ taste was a little strange, it was what his wife wanted to eat, and he had to satisfy her. Theresa agreed. Loredana was his wife, and he certainly cared about her!
He definitely wouldn’t allow other men to take care of his wife.
Suddenly, she thought of Loredana’ bed. So she looked up, “Can you not leave any traces when you go to our house next time?”
What traces did he leave there? Even if he entered Loredana’ bedroom and touched her things, he put them all back… Wait, he originally wanted to sit on the edge of her bed to rest, but after he touched that bed, he especially wanted to sleep. He hadn’t had much rest for a while. So, he lay down. The bed seemed to still have her scent. He soon fell asleep as he rested on her pillow.
He didn’t sleep for long, but it was very relaxing. Although he only slept for an hour or two, he slept much more soundly than he did when he tossed and turned.
“Did she find out?” Cormac wiped the cheese off his daughter’s face and looked up at Theresa.
“Well, I got past it. She didn’t suspect anything,” Theresa said.
“I’ll be careful next time.” He decided that from now on, whenever Loredana was not home during the day, he would go to her house to sleep. He could only fall asleep in her bed. Theresa took a sip of water, “How much longer are you going to be like this?”
“Just give me some time. It should be over soon.” Cormac looked indifferent and his tone was flat. He didn’t want to talk about it.
The fact that Abbott didn’t call him meant that Jeffery’s trial was still pending.
After all, with Jeffery’s status, even if he got into a big mess, it would take some time for the heat to die down before he was given a trial. Theresa didn’t continue. Maybe now really wasn’t the right time.
After dinner, Armand, who hadn’t eaten anything, stood up first. He didn’t look at anyone, didn’t say anything, and just walked away.
Theresa’s eyes flickered slightly. But she quickly regained her composure, as if she hadn’t seen Armand leave, and smiled as she took Andrew’s hand, “Let’s go.”
Andrew looked at Armand’s lonely back. Suddenly, he had a feeling that Armand was quite pitiful.
Alas, the feelings of adults were really complicated. After growing up, he would not fall in love.
He looked up at Theresa and finally said nothing, just held her hand tightly, “Renee is not alone. You have me.”
Theresa looked down and pinched his cheeks. This kid was so sweet today. He warmed her cold heart.
“No more sappy words. Why are you like your mommy? Did you guys have a deal? You’re really her son.” Theresa put on a fierce face. She was afraid that she would be unable to hold back her tears.
Out of the restaurant, Theresa let go of Andrew’s hand and looked at Cormac who was holding Amanda, “You take them to the supermarket. I’ll wait for you at the entrance to the neighborhood. But don’t be too late. I’m worried that your wife will be hungry.”
At this time, she wanted to be alone for a while.
Cormac nodded and carried Amanda to the car.
Andrew was very understanding and knew that Theresa was in a bad mood and said with concern, “Then drive slowly.”
Theresa squatted down and held his cheeks, kissed him on the forehead, and said, “I’ll get home safely.”
Andrew smiled and waved his hand at her, then ran to the car. Cormac was buckling Amanda’s seat belt. He got in from the other side and buckled himself in.
He glanced at his sister and thought to himself that if outsiders saw this scene, they would definitely think that he was adopted.
His father was too biased and only had eyes for his daughter.
Cormac looked up and met his gaze. They looked at each other, and Andrew turned his head away first.
“Do you have something you want?” Cormac asked.
Boys were different from girls. Andrew was mature and didn’t like to act cute. He couldn’t do the same for him as he did for his daughter.
He loved them equally but showed it differently.
Andrew looked out the car window, “I want a home, will you give it to me?”
“I will,” He said firmly.
“I hope you can handle this before the baby is born. You weren’t with Mommy when she had me and my sister. This time, I want you to be with us for the baby’s arrival.” Andrew turned his head and didn’t look back.
The moon was bright.
Cormac’s eyelids flickered. He looked at his son for a long time, but finally said nothing and opened the car door to get in.
He knew that he couldn’t love them more than to give them a secure and comfortable home.
Just give him a little more time.
He was sure that day would come soon.
They went to the supermarket near the neighborhood. Andrew and Amanda often followed Loredana and Theresa to shop here, so they knew it very well. They knew which floor was for fruits and vegetables, which floor was for shoes and clothes, which floor was for household goods, and which floor had tasty food.
With Andrew’s guidance, they soon found the vegetable section. The good thing was that vegetables and fruits of any season were basically available now, just at different prices.
Normally, seasonal vegetables were cheaper and were placed at conspicuous locations in large quantities. Off-season vegetables were not abundant and expensive and were placed at less conspicuous positions.
They walked around a few times before they saw the packaged green radishes placed next to the lettuce. Those green radishes had no leaves and didn’t look fresh.
It seemed that they had been left out for a long time without anyone buying them. After all, radishes were cheap in the winter when they were available in large quantities. At this time of year, radishes were too expensive. People would feel that it was not cost-effective to buy radishes now, so many people would not buy them, and therefore the radishes didn’t sell well.
Cormac looked at the radishes with a frown. Could his wife eat something like this?
“Just buy one.” Andrew picked the best radish. They were here now, and they shouldn’t go home with nothing.
And, maybe after eating the radish this time, mommy wouldn’t eat it next time.
Well, all right.
However, it seemed strange for them to come to such a big supermarket and just buy a radish. So, Cormac asked them if they wanted anything.
Amanda, of course, would not be hesitant. On the third floor for food, she filled the shopping cart full of snacks. And Andrew asked for a new Transformer.
The counter for paying was crowded. Many people came to the supermarket at night.
