Coral said with a smile, “I hope life will always be like this. It was too quiet some time ago. Mrs. Mendelsohn won’t leave again, right?”
Cormac told her she wouldn’t leave again, turned around and left the kitchen. Coral held up the tray and walked towards Theresa’s bedroom.
Around the table, Tiana didn’t pick up anything even though she was very hungry. It was because only the two children were here and she, as a guest, couldn’t start to eat first.
Amanda put a piece of food into her bowl, “Tiana, get started. Coral cooks well.”
Cormac picked up his chopsticks, took a glance at Tiana and asked her to start eating. Tiana then finally picked up her chopsticks.
After the dinner, Amanda pulled Tiana back to her bedroom and wanted to continue the game with her. However, Amanda’s phone rang at this moment. It was a call from Charles and he told her he would come to take her back.
“I will play with you next time,” Tiana said. She also liked this little girl and thought Cotton was so cut.
Amanda felt boring at home and didn’t want her to leave. Tiana didn’t think she was childish and was willing to play with her. Amanda held Tiana’s hand and said, “Tiana, will you come here again?” Tiana replied, “I will if I get the chance.”
“Let me send you.” Amanda had regarded Tiana as her friend after playing with her for a while.
Although Cormac didn’t want to see Charles, he could not let Amanda go out alone and could only follow them.
Tiana walked out of the villa hand in hand with Amanda.
Charles got out of the car and waited for her at the gate. There were lights on the gate and the walls and they were on now. It was as bright as the day.
Seeing them, Charles said with a smile, “Thank you, Mr. Mendelsohn.”
Cormac ignored him. He reached out towards Amanda, “We should come back.”
Unwilling to accept this, Charles continued, “Are you fearing that I will talk with her so that you deliberately not let her go out?”
“Maybe Loredana is uncomfortable. She didn’t even have dinner.”
Before Cormac could say anything, Tiana replied to Charles’ question. She let go of Amanda and walked to Charles.
Hearing that Loredana was uncomfortable, Charles frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with her?”
Tiana supported his wheelchair and shook her head, “I don’t know either.”
Holding up Amanda’s hand, Cormac led her towards the villa. Amanda turned around and waved at Tiana, “Goodbye Tiana. Come to play with me when you’re free.” Tiana agreed to it and waved at her.
Looking at Cormac’s back and feeling worried towards Loredana, Charles asked, “What’s wrong with her?”
Cormac paused. Several seconds later, he turned around, “Who told you she’s uncomfortable?”
“Then why didn’t she have dinner?” Charles looked up at Tiana and then quickly withdrew his lines of sight. Cormac chuckled and replied, “She’s just tired. Should I tell you why she’s tired?”
Although Charles hadn’t gotten married, he was a physiologically normal man. Looking at Cormac, he narrowed his eyes and seemed to guess something. He didn’t say anything else except for saying in a calm voice, “Tiana, let’s go.”
Tiana obediently pushed his wheelchair, turned around and walked towards the car which was parked by the roadside.
Charles was clear that he shouldn’t act like this. He knew clearly there was no possibility between him and Loredana since she was married, but he still couldn’t control his emotions.
He wanted to approach her and see her.
He also hated this aspect of himself.
“Tiana, shall we go?” He didn’t want to come back, not to mention to face the Meyer family. He just wanted to calm down himself.
Tiana agreed to it. Pushing his wheelchair, she walked by the roadside, while Tom drove the car and followed behind them slowly. “Charles, are you in a bad mood?” Although Tiana was not smart, she could still feel Charles’ depression at the moment.
Charles looked at the front without any focus and asked, “Tiana, do you love me?”
Tiana felt him very weird. Why did he ask this question again?
“I told you before. I love you.”
Charles asked after a while of silence, “If you can’t love me, what will you do?”
“Why can’t I love you?” Tiana couldn’t understand this question, feeling it very weird.
Charles explained it to her patiently, “If you can’t love me because of some reasons, what will you do?”
Tiana finally understood it. She pondered for a while and then replied, “If I can’t love you, I think I will be very sad. But I will try hard to control myself so that I won’t think of you and love you. It’s too tortuous if I love you yet I can’t get you. I would rather forget you than suffering the pain.”
Charles looked up at her, “Who said you’re not smart? You are smarter and more thoughtful than any person.”
Tiana chuckled, “You’re the first one who praised me as a smart person.”
Charles reached out to hold up her hand, “Tiana, come here.”
Tiana obediently walked towards him and squatted down in front of him. She put her hands on his thighs, looked up at him and said seriously, “Charles, I don’t want to see you being unhappy. Please tell me, how can I please you?”
Charles asked, still with a smile on his face, “Do I look unhappy?”
“You’re unhappy.” Tiana looked into his eyes, “You have a smile on your face, but your eyes are crying.”
Charles became silent and stared at her quietly. After a long while, he reached out to pull her into his arms and stroked her hair, “Tiana, I feel so anguished, but I don’t know what to do.”
“Can you try to love me?” Tiana lifted her head and repeated the words, “Can you try to love me?”
Charles was stunned and then replied, “I’ve fallen in love with you.”
Tiana shook her head, “You don’t love me. There’s no trace of love in your eyes when you’re looking at me. But your eyes look bright when you’re looking at Loredana.”
Charles was lost for words.
Tiana held up his hand and put it on her face. She tilted her head and gently rubbed her cheek against his palm, “I will work harder so that there will be lights in your eyes when you’re looking at me. In that way, you will not feel anguished anymore.”
Charles was accustomed to wearing a smile on his face, but now he finally maintained it anymore. He reached out to touch her face, “I will try hard.”
He would try to forget Loredana and try hard to fall in love with the one he should love.
“Let’s go home,” Charles said in a low voice.
Tiana agreed to it, asked Tom to stop the car and carried Charles into the car. Originally, Charles planned to live in a hotel after coming to City B, but Tiana’s mother didn’t allow him to do so no matter what he said and insisted on letting him live in their home.
The car soon arrived at the community in which the Meyer family lived and stopped at the entrance. This community never allowed cars not belonging to its proprietors to enter the community. Tom carried Charles down the car and Tiana also got out of the car.
“Come back to have a rest,” Charles said to Tom.
“Okay. I will come here tomorrow morning.” Tom said.
