Because what she said was the truth.
Sure enough, his face sank when he heard Charles’ name. Loredana offered him a piece of cake, “This is delicious, try it.”
Cormac just looked at her without saying anything.
“Next time, I’ll stay away from him and not talk to him. Don’t be angry.” She brought the cake to his mouth again, and Cormac still didn’t open his mouth.
Loredana frowned. She had tried to make nice. What did he want from her?
Charles invited her to his wedding, and it was inappropriate for her not to come.
Besides, she also wanted to come here for a break at that time.
“You’re not sincere,” Cormac’s voice was low and sounded aggrieved.
Loredana was speechless.
She was not sincere?!
Not only did she take the initiative to admit her mistake, but she also made nice to him. Why was she not sincere?
Then what did he want her to do? Get down on her knees and beg him?!
Loredana asked patiently, “What should I do to be sincere?”
Cormac leaned over and said with a grin, “You feed me with your mouth.”
Loredana was speechless.
Why was he so cheeky?
Why?
“I see what you’re doing.” Loredana brought that piece of cake into her mouth and pushed his face away, “Don’t push your luck.”
“Luck? What’s that? I don’t know. I just want you now.” He moved closer to Loredana just as he finished speaking and licked the cream off the corners of her mouth.
Loredana tried to move away from him, but she had the cake in her hands and couldn’t get her hands free. Cormac didn’t go too far for fear of pissing her off. He swallowed the sweet cream.
He smiled and reached out to stroke her hair, “What else do you want to eat? Tell me and I’ll go get it for you.”
After eating the cake, she was no longer hungry. Loredana lowered her head, “Did you send those radishes to me?”
“Yes.” Now that they had met, he had nothing to hide. He did specially ask someone to get her radishes from very far away. Radishes weren’t rare, but the ones in the supermarket were not fresh now. Cormac looked at her and asked, “Is it good?”
After eating the cake, Loredana took a few sips of milk to get rid of the taste of cream in her mouth. Then she said, “It’s delicious. I just forgot to bring some over.”
Cormac didn’t say anything.
He really couldn’t understand what was so good about radishes.
But she liked it.
As long as she found it delicious, he would surely satisfy her.
He lay down on the bed and stretched out his arms, gesturing for her to lie in his arms, “Sleep with me for a while.”
Loredana lay down and rested on his arm. When she thought of him saying that he wanted the baby to take her last name, she tilted her head and asked, “Are you really going to let the baby take my last name? Cormac turned around and hugged her and said, “Yes.”
She found a comfortable position in his arms. She changed the last names of the two children, because, firstly, she was not Garrett’s daughter and she should not take Flores as her last name, let alone the two children. Secondly, because she wanted them to take Cormac’s last name.
It was only natural that the children should take their father’s last name.
But it never occurred to her that she should change her last name. Subconsciously, she didn’t know how to accept this fact yet.
She didn’t even know her real parents. She knew all about them from others. She only heard a few words about them. And what they brought to her was not good.
If she had a choice, she’d rather be Garrett’s daughter. At least, she knew this man. If he gave her hurt, she could hate him. If he gave her love, she could love him.
But what was it now?
“I feel ambivalent. What do you think I should do?”
Cormac didn’t understand what she meant. Why did she suddenly come out with this kind of question?
He lowered his head and looked at her, “Huh?”
Loredana raised her head and looked at him. His face was right in front of hers, even their breaths were interlacing with each other. It seemed like he did not shave, and his chin was sprouting with green stubbles. Loredana reached out and touched his chin. It did not feel prickly, it just did not feel as smooth as his skin.
“I mean, should I go and change my last name?” As a matter of fact, she did not want to change it.
Loredana had put all of Cormac’s words into her heart. Whether it was Jeffery or Jolene, or even Stanley, she did not want to think about them.
She just wanted to live quietly with Cormac.
She burrowed into his arms and pressed her face onto his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.
“You will always be you. It doesn’t matter what your last name is.” Cormac knew that if she really wanted to change it, she would have done it earlier, and would not have waited until now.
She was the child of Jolene and Stanley, as well as the continuation of their lives. Even if she changed her last name, it would not change the blood flowing in her body.
Cormac tightly wrapped his arms around her tender body in his arms. He did not want Loredana to dwell in the past and be troubled by those messy things.
Loredana understood what he meant. It was true. She would always be herself, and her last name did not matter. After listening to what he said, she stopped pondering on this matter and suddenly felt enlightened.
Her fair and slender arm wrapped around his waistline, “I was incredibly sad when I left you. During this period of time, I missed you, and I felt guilty towards you. But I don’t want to have this kind of element in our relationship. Therefore, I will not feel guilty towards you anymore in the future. I just want to love you in a simple way.”
Just living together, free from any grudges.
Cormac lowered his head and kissed her forehead. However, his lips did not leave her forehead. Instead, he rubbed his lips against her forehead affectionately, replying to her in a low “um”.
“Where do you like?” His voice was too low that it was a little unclear.
However, Loredana still heard it clearly, “Why are you asking that?”
“After you give birth, I’m thinking that we should go for a honeymoon.” He stared at her seriously. His deep gaze was flashing with lights, and he whispered his tender voice beside her ears, “I really want to see you in a wedding dress. You will definitely look nice in it.”
She grabbed his collar and said resentfully, “You did not even accompany me to get the marriage certificate. We did not even take photos and take vows together.”
They had a marriage certificate. Cormac called some people to help him settle it, and Abbott was the one who brought Loredana to take it. However, it was extremely informal as their photos were not on the marriage certificate.
