But this was his wedding, and since he had already invited her, it wouldn’t be nice if she didn’t go.
She thought about it, and agreed. She’ll treat this as a getaway. Hopefully when she came back from White City, Cormac would have settled the matter with those photos. “When will Tom be coming over?” Loredana asked.
“He should have arrived now.”
Loredana was speechless.
“You’ve already planned everything.”
“I have to make sure everything is prepared for your matters.” Charles’ tone was still joking around.
This was because Charles’ wedding would be held tomorrow, so she had to depart today. If she left now, she would make it just in time.
She informed Theresa about it. Because it was summer, so she brought two sets of clothing to change, as well as a little gown. After all, she was attending someone’s wedding, of course she had to put on something proper.
Theresa knew that Charles had sent someone over, so she wasn’t worried. But she was also as surprised as Loredana regarding his sudden marriage.
His actions were fast.
She wasn’t even sure who the partner was.
Tom was driving a multipurpose vehicle. It was very spacious, and allowed her to rest.
After Loredana got on the car, she asked, “Is your master Mr. White really getting married?”
It was just that she felt it was too fast, as if a dream.
“Yeah, we can’t joke around with these things.” Tom started the engine and replied.
“What is the lady like?” Loredana asked, purely out of curiosity.
Although Charles’ legs weren’t good, but she could tell that he was a very proud man.
Since they were already getting married, the lady must be pretty good.
“You better ask Mr. White this question yourself.” It was not that Tom wanted to be secretive, but he felt that this question would be better answered by Charles himself. After all, Loredana was someone that Charles had liked before. He was afraid that he still liked her now, just that he had decided to let go after making peace with things. “You can lie down at the back and rest, there’re some fruits in the mini fridge down below.” Tom said.
The car was indeed very comfortable, the air-conditioning was turned on the car, and the temperature was not too and just right. The seats at the back were all pulled down to difference from the bed at home.
Mainly, there were also fruits prepared. Loredana looked towards Tom, “No wonder you can receive the trust of Mr. White.”
On the matter of taking care of others, he was very thoughtful.
As if understanding what Loredana meant, Tom explained, “This was all instructed by Mr. White, he was worried that you would feel tired in the long journey.”
Loredana was at a loss for words all of a sudden. After a while, she said, “I’ll have to thank him when I see him then.”
a bed. It was no Tom turned to take a look at her without saying anything. Charles’ feelings towards her were plain and obvious, the fact that he was doing this meant that she was still in his heart. That was why he would still do this.
“Have a good rest, we would arrive before daylight.” Tom said.
Loredana agreed and didn’t continue talking. She laid resting at the back. Perhaps it was because the car was rocking slightly, it in turn made her fall asleep very easily.
When she woke up, it was almost at the break of dawn. Loredana asked, “Are we here?”
“Yes, we have arrived at White City’s borders.” Tom replied.
“Thanks for your hard work in this journey.” It was tiring to drive at night.
“It was another driver who was driving when we went to pick you up. I’m only driving back.” Tom said.
Charles was worried that it would be too tiring for Tom, and that something would happen on the road. So, he had gotten someone else to drive there, hence on the way there Tom was able to rest on the car. He had only driven back, so it wasn’t too tiring.
“Help me to find a hotel, I’ll wash up for a bit.” Loredana said.
“Alright.”
White City was their territory, so everything was convenient for them.
Very quickly, Tom arranged for a hotel for Loredana.
Loredana rested for a while after arriving at the hotel. After washing up, it was already 6.30 in the morning.
Tom came to pick her up, saying that Charles wanted to see her.
Loredana frowned, “It’s his wedding today, we would see each other at the ceremony later.”
There was no need to meet now.
Tom said while smiling, “I am only in charge of sending the message, don’t make things awkward for me. Please go visit my master Mr. White.”
Without waiting for Loredana to reply, Tom continued, “Don’t worry about it, Ms. Flores. Mr. White has already decided to get married, so he won’t do anything to make things awkward.”
Loredana nodded in agreement. Tom had already made things so clear, if she continued to reject, it would seem as if she was too pretentious.
Tom drove the car and brought her to a relatively quiet village area. The morning sun had just rose, so it was not too humid.
After she got off the car, Loredana saw Charles’ silhouette by the river. At this place, it was particularly silent at this time.
She took steps forward, stepping on the overgrown grass and messy rocks without a proper trail. Charles didn’t turn back but seemed as if he knew she was here.
“Are you very surprised?” He asked.
“I’m alright, you are also at the age where you should be getting married.” Loredana said simply.
She stood by his side, breathing in the fresh morning air, and felt herself relax a little.
Charles turned to look at her, “Aren’t you not curious, who my marriage partner is?”
Loredana turned to him, “Who is she?”
Charles looked towards the river, “She has a good family background, and would be helpful for me in my career. You know, because of the petty man in your house, the White Group has been heavily impacted So, I found a lady with a good family background to be my partner.”
At the muddy road behind them, Tom had already left with the car. But another car drove towards them from a distance.
Jayden had known that the two children had followed Cormac here together, so he had wanted to get closer to the two kids. Thinking about the fact that Jayden wouldn’t be going back to B City in the short run, and that they were not sure when they would be back, Cormac agreed to stay back for another day. This was so the children can keep Jayden company. This had delayed their plan of going back to C City by one day.
They were initially supposed to go back yesterday morning, but they had delayed it till this morning.
They had fallen asleep late last night, so the two children were also groggy and sleepy when they got on the car. Cormac was hugging his daughter. When he passed by this road, he looked out the window coincidentally.00000000
