Amanda was a little anxious from waiting and fiddled around restlessly.
Finally, it was their turn. Cormac put the things on the counter and the cashier swiped them one by one. He was fast, and by the time he noticed something was wrong, the cashier already had it in his hand. He looked back at his son and daughter.
Andrew turned his head after a quick glance.
He didn’t put it in the cart.00000
He knew what it was and would never buy this thing. Loredana was angry about him for so long since he wanted to buy it last time.
However, Amanda did not know about it. The box packaging was beautiful-looking, and it was on the shelves at the cashier counter. She wanted to buy it several times, but her hands got beaten by Loredana. However, Cormac would buy for her, for sure, because he loved her so much.
So Amanda took it upon herself to take a few boxes and put them in the shopping cart.
When she saw Cormac’s expression in his eyes, she asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
At that moment, the cashier adjusted his glasses on his nose and looked at the things in Cormac’s hand. He urged, “Would you hurry up, please? Customers are waiting behind you.”
The cashier complaint in his mind, ‘Why are you still be bashful when paying for it since you’ve already taken it to the cashier counter?’
Cormac ignored the cashier’s urging and stare. He put the things Amanda put in the shopping cart back on the shelves.
All along, Cormac would buy or give whatever she wanted and never refused.
“Daddy, I want this,” Amanda pointed at the things on the shelf.
It was the first time that Cormac did not reply to Amanda with a smile and a hug. He put the remaining things at the cashier counter silently. Then, Cormac put the things back in the shopping cart after paying the bill. He picked her up with one hand and wheeled the shopping cart out of the supermarket. They took the elevator to the parking lot located on the top floor.
Andrew quietly followed behind Cormac.
In contrast, Amanda was frightened with a layer of tears in her eyes, but she did not dare to cry out.
It was the first time that Cormac had given her a frigid face, and she was frightened.
She was afraid that Cormac would hate her and dislike her anymore.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Cormac settled Amanda in the car seat. Then, he put the things he bought in the car trunk. Andrew got into the car by himself and took a look at Amanda, and he sighed.
He thought, ‘How come she be so forgetful? She was hit by mommy a few times last time because she took that and put it in the shopping cart. After that, she stopped taking the thing. She should have remembered about it. Why did she do it again today?’
Cormac wheeled the shopping cart to the place where it originally was. He stood by the car for a while and did not get into the car. He did not know how to explain it to Amanda. Cormac could not give Amanda sex education since she was too young.
He had never been so distressed, and it was the first time he realized that he would meet such a problem when raising a child.
He could explain it to his son, but no matter how carefully he weighed the words, he could not find the right words to explain to Amanda what the thing was for because she was a girl. Cormac thought he should read more books on parenting. Otherwise, he did not know how to educate his children.
“Daddy,” Amanda timidly called Cormac, and she did not dare to act cute, “I want to go home.”
Children were good at judging faces. Cormac was pulling a long face.
He was not angry with Amanda. She was curious inevitably about many things at this age. He was angry himself that he did not know how to deal with when facing such things.
“I’ll never want to buy it in the future. Daddy, don’t be angry,” although Amanda’s hand got beaten by Loredana several times, the impact was not as strong as Cormac being mad at her. Cormac, who had always pampered and loved Amanda, was angry about it, so it must be something that she could not want.
Amanda never dared to take it again.
Cormac looked at Amanda through the car window. After a while, he opened the door and got into the car.
He said calmly to Amanda, “I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at myself.”
Amanda blinked her eyes, and she did not understand what Cormac meant.
However, she had learned a lesson about this. She did not want to see Cormac with a poker-faced.
“It’s getting late. I’ll send you guys back home,” Cormac started the car.
During the journey, Cormac’s phone rang. The caller ID showed serial numbers instead of a name. He stopped the car by the road and picked up the call. It was Kevin calling, “Jayden is ill, and he is at the hospital now.”
Cormac and Jayden had not seen each other since Jayden went to White City.
Jayden was in poor health since Victoria died. It was anxiety to him, and he did not have any problem with his physical condition.
Jayden wanted Kevin to call and tell Cormac that he was at the hospital because he wanted to meet Cormac.
“Where is the hospital?” Cormac asked.
He knew that Jayden was in White City. Since Jayden was staying in hospital, he should be in one of the hospitals in White City. There was no airport in White City because it was a small place with a small population. So Cormac would have to drive there.
With the address, he could directly go to the hospital.
“I’ll send the address to your phone with a message.”
Cormac hung up the call after he said, “H’m.”
Cormac did not have a special feeling towards Kevin, even after knowing Kevin’s identity. Cormac did not get along with Kevin after all.
So Cormac had an indifferent attitude towards Kevin.
“Is grandpa sick?” Andrew asked. Andrew had been living together with Jayden and Victoria. He was sad for a long time since Victoria died. Andrew wanted to visit Jayden, who was sick.
“I miss grandpa, and I want to go to visit him.”
Amanda spoke first before Cormac could answer Andrew, “Daddy, can Andrew and I go with you to visit grandpa?”
For sure, Cormac wanted to bring the two children to visit Jayden, but he could not easy to explain to Loredana.
Jayden had nobody accompany him. He would be happy to see Andrew and Amanda, and it would be helpful to his condition.
After some thought, Cormac said, “Alright.”
Andrew and Amanda smiled happily. They had not seen Jayden and Boyce for a long time, as well as Maxina. So they wanted to go back to the place where they used to live, and they had many familiar people there.
He sent the two children to the residential quarter, “You go back home first. I’ll ask Armand to pick you up.”
Andrew and Amanda were quiet and knew to listen to Cormac’s arrangement.
He parked the car while Theresa walked over to them. She had sat in the park in the residential area for a while, and she was calm down.
She smiled and went to pick Amanda to get out of the car.
Cormac got out of the car, “I want to take both of them out for a trip. I’ll ask Armand to come to pick them up later.”
