Loredana pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
Charles reached out and stroked Tiana’s forehead. She was very well behaved, and she always liked to crouch by his side when he talked to her, “She is 23 years old, but only has an IQ of 13 years old. She’s straightforward and has not seen the darkness of the world. She’s the simplest person I have ever seen.”
Loredana was voiceless.
She didn’t speak for a long time, wondering what Charles was trying to do?
“A cripple with a fool. Isn’t that a good match?” Charles teased himself.
Loredana didn’t find it funny at all and asked in a low voice, “Why did you make such a choice?”
“What’s wrong with it? She’s the jewel of the Meyer family, and very helpful to my career too, but just too pure. I have seen too much scheming and deceitfulness. With such a simple person lying beside me, at least I can sleep without fear of someone stabbing me while I am sleeping. How good…”
Before he finished his words, he saw a man coming this way from the crowd. His smile deepened, “Lola, how about giving me a gift for the sake of my new marriage?”
“What kind of gift?” Loredana was utterly unaware of the approaching figure behind her.
She was just immersed in the shock of Charles and Tiana getting married. She wouldn’t have felt anything if Tiana was a normal girl, but now…
Charles stared at her belly with undefinable emotions, but he just smiled, “Let me touch your baby. I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to have a child in my whole life. This may be my only wish.” Loredana was speechless.
She frowned deeply.
“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes.” He said as he reached out.
Loredana knew she should refuse him no matter what. But as Charles’s hand covered her stomach, she didn’t immediately dodge away.
Not sure why she just felt sorry for him. She couldn’t find another word to describe him other than miserable.
It was like a poor person who had no food asked her for food, and she wouldn’t hesitate to give out what she had to eat.
“Do you think that if your petty man saw me like this, would he be furious?” Charles said with a smile.
Loredana lowered her head. She would think of those unpleasant photos when thinking of that man. It was hard to catch her breath as her heart was stuffy.
She didn’t answer Charles’s words but said, “I think I should go back.”
“Alright. I don’t think you need me to send you off.” Charles agreed readily, and the smile on his face grew deeper.
The more complicated the man behind her looked, the happier Charles was, and the wider his smile became.
“Why do you say that?” Loredana felt that his smile was unkind.
Charles held Tiana’s hand and looked behind Loredana, smiling without saying anything.
Only then did Loredana notice that there was someone behind her, and she slowly turned around.00000
Cormac stood close to Loredana, without a trace of expression on his handsome face, stared straight at Charles with his cold and stern eyes.
At the moment when Loredana saw him, she was stunned. She had by no means anticipated that Cormac would appear here.
Loredana was stunned for a while.
She had anticipated that she would meet Cormac in City B or City C, but she did not expect to be in White City, at Charles’s wedding. How could he be here? ‘He is here now, what about the two children?’
“Is Mr. Mendelsohn here to attend my wedding banquet?” Charles smiled.
Cormac just took some steady and heavy steps, walked straight over, and stared at Charles gloomily for two seconds, “Do I have any relation with Mr. White?”
Seeing that Cormac was angry, Charles’s mood got better, his smile was also getting annoyed. “Although you and I don’t have a deep friendship, your wife and I still have some history. Aren’t husband and wife being one soul? Don’t you and Loredana are of the same mind?”
Whenever Cormac heard Charles addressed Loredana’ nickname as Lola, he had the impulse to strangle Charles with his hand.
“Don’t be angry, Mr. Mendelsohn. I got married to avoid you getting jealous. You should thank me.” Charles continued with a smile, “I intend to be friends with Mr. Mendelsohn, but Mr. Mendelsohn has a deep prejudice against me as if I were a villain that indulges in all sorts of evildoings.”
“Don’t overvalue yourself. You can’t be described by a villain, you are despicable and shameless.” Cormac stood beside Loredana and held her hand. “Compared with a man full of iniquities, people who seem like a gentleman on the surface, but in fact, a brazen person is more annoying,” Cormac said in no hurry.
He took Loredana and left after he finished speaking.
Charles looked at them as they walked through the crowd and left, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
“Charles, what are you smiling at?” Tiana felt that they were quarreling, but didn’t know why they were quarreling.
“I laughed at Cormac who was naive. I was happy when I saw him angry.” Making him feel uncomfortable would be regarded as an act of revenge against him. Charles turned to look at Tiana and asked, “Do you think that the woman just now is good-looking?”
Tiana nodded, “Yes, does she have a baby in her belly?”
“Yes.” The smile on Charles’s face vanished, remaining the melancholy feeling, he had been trying so hard to win her heart but he still failed in the end.
“Are they husband and wife?” Tiana asked.
Charles gave a hum.
“Then are we husband and wife now?” Tiana asked again.
Charles patiently said yes.
“Let’s go.” He didn’t want to talk about this topic.
Tiana was ingenious, “I push you.” She grabbed the wheelchair handle, “Let’s go to my father’s place.”
Charles said, “Ok, let’s go.”
Tiana smiled, like a child who was simple, candid, naive and innocent.
Charles looked at her and smiled, too.
Outside the hotel, Cormac held Loredana and kept walking, as if he wanted her to stay away from Charles, forgetting that she was still pregnant, he was walking fast, and never meant to stop, Loredana regained her senses and said, “Slow down a bit!”
Cormac stopped and looked back at her.
They looked at each other in the eyes but had nothing to say.
After a long time.
“Hug me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my temper,” Cormac spoke first.
The thought of Charles touching her pregnant belly made his chest filled with fire. He wanted to question her, why didn’t she push Charles away and rejected him. It wasn’t his child, what made him think that he can touch her pregnant belly?
It might be fine not to mention it. Loredana was even angrier than him once he speaking about it.
