She handed a bag to Loredana and said, “Please receive it.”
Loredana didn’t take it from her because she didn’t want to receive it.
She wanted to make a clear boundary between her and Charles for the sake of everyone.
“Loredana, can you please receive it? Otherwise, I will feel restless.” Tiana said sincerely and then continued, “Other people think I’m a fool and no one wants to be my friend. Since you’re Charles’ friend, you’re also mine. I hope you can forgive us.”
Loredana could be cold-hearted towards Charles, but she couldn’t be too mean to Tiana. She reached out and took the phone from her, “I’ve told you that I accept your apology.”
Tiana said with a smile, “Thank you, Loredana.”
“We haven’t had dinner. Loredana, can we eat at your home?” Tiana said according to Charles’ instruction.
Cormac tightened the grip on Loredana’ waist. He knew she was kind, so she wouldn’t refuse this pure girl’s request. When he was about to refuse it for her, Loredana spoke, “Fine. You can eat at my home.” Loredana was clear that such a pure girl would not propose such a request and she thought someone must have taught her to say so.
“Charles hadn’t had dinner either.” Tiana turned around to look at him.
Loredana, however, didn’t spare a glance at Charles. She said, “Our house is too small to accommodate too many people. If you’re willing, I can invite you to have dinner at our home. Of course, only you will be invited. Our table is too small and there’s no space for the other person.”
Tiana hesitated. What should she do if Charles was not with her?
“Never mind…”
“Tiana, you can go. I have to deal with something. I will come to pick you up later.” Charles interrupted Tiana with a smile. He was clear of Loredana’ attitude towards himself. Now he could only let Tiana approach Loredana so that he could have the chance to meet her.
It was fine if he could take a glance at her even if she didn’t want to talk with him.
Although Tiana didn’t hate Loredana and had a good impression of her, she was still hesitant because she felt faint-hearted to stay at her house alone without Charles’ company.
“Be obedient.” Charles landed his gaze at her gently. Looking at his eyes, Tiana nodded her head and replied, “I will be obedient.”
After finishing the words, she turned around to look at Loredana, “Loredana, thank you for inviting me to have dinner at your home.” Loredana replied, “You’re welcome. Come in please.”
Tiana walked beside Loredana. Cormac let go of Loredana and walked behind them. After entering the villa, he turned around to close the door and shot a cold glance at Charles. Charles was not annoyed and replied with a smiled, “Mr. Mendelsohn, thank you for treating my wife.”
Cormac snorted and then closed the door.
“Dad.” Amanda, who was playing with Cotton in the living room, slipped down the sofa when seeing Cormac and ran towards him.
Cormac stooped to embrace his daughter.
“You finally come back.” Amanda jumped into his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck and said with a grievance.
Cormac carried her up, walked to the sofa and sat down. He softly rubbed her small nose, “Do you miss me?”
Amanda nodded vigorously, “I’ve checked the time.” After saying that, she began to complain, “Mummy doesn’t allow me to go out, but she herself went out and played for the whole day.” Loredana took a glance at Amanda when hearing her words. Amanda then quickly buried her head into Cormac’s arms.
“What would you like to drink?” Loredana asked Tiana.
Tiana shook her head, “I’m not thirsty.”
“Take a seat. Don’t be restrained.” Loredana said with a smile.
Tiana sat down on the sofa. Loredana went to the kitchen and asked Coral to cook some more dishes.
Cotton stared wickedly at Tiana and growled threateningly.
Although Cotton was gentle, it still held some hostility towards strangers.
Tiana was a bit scared.
Amanda finally noticed Tiana when she heard Cotton’s growl and shouted, “Cotton, don’t be rude.”
Cotton immediately became obedient. It wagged its tail, ran over and rubbed against her body.
Cormac put down Amanda and said, “I will go upstairs to change my clothes.”
Amanda replied, “Okay.”
Cormac didn’t directly go upstairs; instead, he walked out of the door and took the things Loredana bought into the house before coming upstairs.
“Excuse me, who are you?” Amanda studied Tiana from top to toe.
She hadn’t seen her before.
Tiana replied with a smile, “My name is Tiana Meyer. What’s your name?”
“I’m Amanda Mendelsohn. You can also call me Amy. As for my name, it’s a long story, so I won’t expand on it.”
Amanda looked very helpless.
“Don’t be afraid of Cotton. It won’t bite people.” Amanda rubbed Cotton’s fur and even invited Tiana to rub it, “Tiana, would you like to touch it? It’s so obedient.”
Tiana didn’t dare to touch it because she was still scared by its ferocious look just now.
Amanda held up Tiana’s hand and put it onto Cotton’s body.
Cotton’s fur felt very soft and silky. It liked people to stoke its fur on the lower jaw and its head as it felt very comfortable when people rub the fur on those places. Holding Tiana’s hand, Amanda guided her to stroke Cotton’s fur again and again. Cotton sat beside their feet obediently and lifted its head so that they could rub its fur.
It narrowed its round eyes and it looked like it enjoyed this so much. It would even rub its head against Tiana’s hand from time to time.
It was so obedient and cute.
Tiana secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “It’s very funny when it is not ferocious.”
“Yes, I think so.” Amanda held up Tiana’s hand, “Let’s go to my bedroom.”
Tiana hesitated, “Isn’t it inappropriate?”
Her mom told her to be polite when visiting other people’s home. How could she get into her bedroom?
“Why is it inappropriate? Since you can come to my home, you’re definitely my daddy or my mummy’s friend, aren’t you?”
Tiana thought over it and thought her words were true. Charles’ friend was like her friend.
Amanda then pulled her into the bedroom.
Loredana helped Coral to clean the food material as she thought it was tiresome work for her to do it alone. But after clearing it for a while, Coral pushed her out of the kitchen, saying that she was bringing troubles to her.
But actually, Coral didn’t want her to do the housework.
