Armand asked impatiently, “What plan is it?”
“Shut up, no woman will like a nagging man.”
Armand was speechless.
Cormac was bullying him. How could he say that he was a nagging man?
“State it clearly, how come I was described as a nagging man?”
At that moment, Armand’s voice was drowned out by phone rings.
Cormac thought it was Boyce. He took out his phone and then he found that it was not his phone but Loredana’s. It was because that he had put Loredana’s phone into his pocket previously. He looked at the caller’s name that appeared on the screen and it showed the name, ‘Oscar’.
He knew what kind of people were around Loredana and he knew it well.
This Oscar should be the man he had met in City C.
Loredana was familiar with her own phone’s ringing sound. She just opened her eyes when it rang. She asked nervously, “Who is it?”
She thought that Declan was calling her again.
Cormac handed her phone to her, “Look at it by yourself.”
Loredana reached out and took her phone from him. The screen showed the name, ‘Oscar’. She pressed the answer button. Then, she put the phone to her ear and answered the call. Oscar’s voice came from it immediately.
“Can you reach Theresa? She has not come to the shop for a whole day and I also can’t reach her.”
Loredana calmed her emotion down and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I know where she is. We will not be back for now. Please help me to watch over there.”
“Oh, glad to hear you know it. She just disappeared of a sudden and I can’t reach her so I was quite worried. So when will you all be back?” Oscar asked. Loredana was also not sure that when she would be back, “I am not sure yet. I’ll call you in a couple of days.”
“That’s great. Don’t worry about this part, I’ll watch over here for you. You have to take care of yourself and your two children too.” Oscar instructed. Loredana answered and said, “Alright.”
“Then I’ll hang up.”
Loredana answered it with a ‘hmm’ and then hung up the phone.
Just as she was going to keep her phone, Cormac reached towards her, “Give me your phone.”
Loredana looked at him, “It is not convenient for me to let you keep my phone. I’ll let you answer the call if the person, Declan calls me.”
She knew the thing that Cormac was worried about.
He was just afraid that Declan would call her again. She had never met that person and she also did not want to deal with him.
She was not able to handle Theresa’s matter and still had to rely on him.
Loredana had stated that so Cormac also could not say anything else. He then turned his body back.
“Loredana, you know Declan? How do you know about him?” Armand asked.000
Loredana was speaking in a hurry just now and did not think deeply about it. The more anxious she was, it was harder for her to explain it and she just could not say anything. She had no idea how to explain to Armand that she knew the person Declan.
She also only heard the man from Cormac and he was just a person that she had never seen.
“Declan went to City C to look for her,” Cormac spoke out of the blue.
Armand was in agitation immediately, “Why did he go and look for Loredana? Is it because…”
Armand didn’t finish saying his words as he knew that Loredana was listening to him too.
Since Declan’s matter happened due to Jeffery so he would mention Jeffery when talking about Declan’s matter.
There was a resting area in front of them. Cormac let Armand drive in. Armand followed his instruction, he drove into the area and parked the car in the parking space. Loredana woke her two children up and let them get off to get some fresh air.
Amanda rubbed her eyes in a daze and told Loredana, “Mummy, I want to go toilet.”
Loredana took a wet tissue to wipe her face. Soon, the little girl was awake, “I’ll bring you there.”
There were not many people in the rest area at night. She held her daughter’s hand and led her to the toilet. Andrew had not totally woken up. He was lying in the car and did not get out of the car. Cormac opened the car door of his side and asked him whether he wanted to go toilet.
He opened his eyes slowly and shook his head. He said, “I’m a bit hungry.”
“Come, I bring you to buy something,” Cormac said.
He got out of the car, reached out and held Cormac’s hand. He tilted his head and asked, “Daddy, when will we get back home?”
Cormac glanced at his watch and said, “Soon.”
The main meal was not on sale at the place at that time. There were only some snacks, Andrew wanted to eat Kanto cooking, “Let’s buy some for Amy and mummy too.”
He spoke thoughtfully and then he added a sentence, “Daddy, are you hungry? Let’s buy this for Armand too, he should be tired after driving for a long time.”
Cormac stroked his head and felt relieved. He thought that it was a good thing that his son could always think of others.
After that, he also bought corn, dumplings and some drinks.
There were not many things to be bought there at night.
Armand came back from the toilet and then brought the dog out of the car to let it walk around. He stood by the car and did some exercise. His body had turned stiff after sitting for too long. “Armand.” Andrew handed him the food that they just bought, “You can eat some to fill your stomach. Since you did not have your dinner, you must be hungry now.”
Armand reached out to take it. Then, he sighed, “You are much more humane than your father.”
Cormac raised his head and looked over. Armand squinted with his mouth and kept quiet.
Andrew was eating a skewer of fish balls. It was soft and chewy. He found it delicious and then he handed it to Cormac, “Daddy, you try one too, it’s delicious.”
Cormac tightened the cap of the water bottle and bent over. Then, he bit off one fish ball and ate it into his mouth with his son’s hand holding it. Just as Armand was about to ask him whether Declan was going to look for Loredana to take revenge, Cormac’s phone rang. He took it out and looked at it. It showed the caller name, Boyce. He had texted him almost an hour ago and only now Boyce called him back.
He walked aside to answer his call.
“What happened?”
On that side, Boyce felt a little guilt and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t go to City C. I had some stuff to do here temporarily and my phone was left in the car so I just saw your message.”
Cormac could understand that and he did not mean to blame him. He had his job to do and he couldn’t be free all the time. He glanced at Armand and spoke to Boyce, “Declan had caught Theresa away.” “What?” Boyce really did not expect it to happen and he could not figure out how Declan knew about Theresa. Even if he did, Theresa had changed her appearance, so how did he manage to find her? “What’s wrong? Did he kidnap her from City C? Why did he take her away?” Boyce asked.
Cormac also did not know about the details of it but it was not difficult for him to guess it out. Since Declan could kidnap Theresa, it meant that he must know about Loredana. It was sure that he was the one who did the photo thing. He must be trying to provoke the relationship between him and Loredana. Maybe he wanted to catch Loredana but he did not have a chance to do it. He could not find her because Loredana had come to White City so he just caught Theresa after knowing her relationship with Loredana.
Basically, he had guessed the truth. However, Cormac did not know that Declan wanted to provoke and destroy their relationship but failed to do so. Then, he planned to lure her but his plan was also destroyed by Oscar. Finally, he had no other way and wanted to catch her. He had found out the place that Loredana was staying so he managed to send photos to her.
