Jayden shook his hand and advised him, “Tell Armand to drive slower on the road.”
Cormac replied to him with an “um” and brought the two children out. At that time, Armand had already finished packing up. He put the two children into the car, and Kevin also helped put Cotton into the car. Luckily for them, the car was spacious enough.
Loredana went to bid farewell to Jayden and told him that she would take good care of Cormac and the two children, telling him not to be worried.
She knew that Jayden was very relieved, and he told her to be careful on the road.
When Loredana came out, she saw that they had already finished packing up. She greeted Kevin and told him, “We are leaving now.”
Kevin nodded, “Be safe.”
“We will. You two take care too.” Kevin was not getting any younger. After this incident happened, his tough body seemed to look less vigorous than before.
Loredana wanted to bring them home after some time so that she can take care of them. In fact, people would be more prone to thinking a lot if they stayed alone in a quiet place. In addition, they won’t feel so lonely too if they have Andrew and Amanda accompanying them.
Kevin’s eyes became turbid. He quickly turned his head, not letting Loredana see his eyes. He turned his back against her and waved to her, “If you want to leave, leave now. You won’t be able to see the road clearly at night, so leave while it’s still daytime.”
Cormac opened the car door for Loredana. She glanced at Kevin, then bent down and got into the car.
Hearing the car engine started, Kevin still turned around and looked at them. Even though he was very reluctant to see them leave.
He knew that it was inevitable.
Loredana rolled down the window. The two children lay on the window and bid farewell to Kevin, “Goodbye, uncle, we are leaving.”
Kevin waved his hand back to them, “If you have time, don’t forget to visit me. I’ll miss you all.”
“We will come and visit you, and we will miss you too.” Amanda lay on the window. Even though she was reluctant to part with her grandfather and uncle, she wanted to be with her parents more. Kevin laughed, “I’m happy enough just hearing these words. Don’t delay anymore, you should leave now.”
After bidding him farewell, Cormac drove the car out.
Armand brought along the snacks that he had bought for the two children. They were bored, so they ate some of the snacks. Loredana wasn’t feeling very well as she was worried about Theresa. Theresa had already suffered so much the last time. As for this time, Loredana didn’t dare to think about it, afraid that something might happen again…
“Mommy, what are you thinking about?” Andrew could feel Loredana’s low spirits, so he asked concernedly.
Loredana caressed her son’s face and forced a smile from her stiff face. She did not want to affect her two children with her uneasiness. She pulled herself together and said, “I’m thinking, when will the two of you grow up?”
“We will grow up when you are older,” Amanda interjected.
“Then will you dislike mommy when I get older and become uglier?” Loredana asked with a smile.
“I won’t.” Amanda even threw Cotton away, leaned over, and lay in Loredana’s arms. “You are the prettiest mommy in the world.”
Andrew moved aside and gave space to his sister.
Loredana reached out her hand and stroked Cotton, “You want to bring it back?”
Amanda nodded firmly, raised her head, and asked, “Don’t you think it’s very cute?”
“Yes, it’s cute, much cuter than you.” She pinched her daughter’s face.
“No, I’m the cutest.” Amanda touched Loredana’s stomach, “When is the baby going to come out? I’m so looking forward to it.”
Loredana stroked her head and told her it will be soon.
The sky was getting darker, and the lights on the passing homes were lit. The two children got tired of playing. They had also eaten their snacks, did not say that they were hungry and slept straight away. When the two children had fallen asleep, Armand asked, “What’s the matter? Why do we need to go back in such a hurry?”
Cormac, who was sitting on the passenger seat, looked back at Loredana. Loredana also looked towards him. Even though they didn’t say anything, they were able to understand each other thoughts. “Am I not pity enough?” Armand stared straight ahead.
Even without looking, he knew that the couple was exchanging glances. How could they just show their love to each other when he’s still in the car? Were they intentionally making him feel sad? “Theresa is not willing to forgive me. And the two of you keep on displaying your affection in front of me. Are your hearts made of rocks? Don’t you think I’m pitiful? Can’t you two treat me better?” Armand let out a series of complaints.
He was heartbroken. Theresa did not want to forgive him, and he did not know what to do in the future. He let out a sigh, turned the topic back, and asked, “Can you please say something? What’s going on here? Why are we in a hurry? Are we going back to City B or City C?”
“Let’s go back to City B, an urgent matter has occurred in the company.” Cormac did not talk about the matter of Theresa. Maybe he was afraid that Armand’s emotion would be unstable after knowing Theresa’s matter. Furthermore, he was still driving now.
It would be too dangerous to tell him at the moment.
Armand snorted, “How urgent would the company’s issue be? Abbott was still there keeping an eye on it? Do you think the company will have to close down tomorrow if you can’t go back today?”
Soon, he changed to an understandable look in an instant and spoke with a smile, “I think you are just afraid that Loredana will leave again so you want to take her back immediately, right?”
Cormac glanced at him and said coldly, “Stop at the rest area ahead, I will drive later.”
“I am not tired yet.” He drove by himself when he came and he didn’t feel so tired.
“You are too talkative. I am afraid we’re not safe.”
Cormac lowered his head and texted Boyce. He had asked Boyce to go to City C and investigated Declan and he wondered there were any clues found there.
After sending the text, he glanced back. The two children were sleeping soundly while Loredana turned her head to look out of the window. She didn’t look good, she should be worried about Theresa.
It was not good timing for him to state it clearly in front of Armand. Thus, he just gently advised her, “I will deal with all those matters. You go and sleep for a while and don’t think too much.”
How could she not worry about it? Theresa was hurt so much before that. Not only that, she even encountered such a thing just as she came back. How could she calm down and how could she not worry about her?
However, since she did not want to cause trouble for Cormac, she just answered him and then closed her eyes and then pretended to sleep.
Cormac sighed and got his gaze back. He knew that she was pretending. However, he had nothing else to say and persuade her to relax.
He looked down at his phone and found that Boyce still had not texted him back. He looked up and leaned his body on the back of the chair and then he lightly pressed his temples.
“Are you hiding something from me?” Armand asked. Why did he feel like something was going on and that was why Cormac was in a hurry to go back?
Cormac did not look at him. He just spoke indifferently, “Concentrate on driving.”
Armand was speechless.
“I’m your full-time driver and you just treat me like this? Can’t you treat me more politely?” He really did not take him seriously. Cormac opened his eyes and then he slowly looked over there casually, “Armand, do you still want to get Theresa back?”
“Of course.” Armand almost just spitted those words out.
The probability of him getting her back was very small.
Loredana, who was sitting at the back was getting nervous involuntarily when she heard that they were talking about Theresa. She was afraid that Cormac would tell Armand now about the matter that Theresa was kidnapped.
She was also afraid that Armand would know it now and he could only get nervous and worried about it after he knew about Theresa’s condition. Moreover, it still took hours for them to be back to City B. Instead of making him uneasy, she felt that it was better to tell him about it after we got back. Then, we could discuss and come out with a plan together.
“Do you have a plan?” Armand asked with some excitement.
“Yes.”
