“How can you be more shameless as time goes on?” Loredana started struggling even more, afraid that he would start to think with his crotch, and do inappropriate things right in front of the kids.
Cormac bent his knees and pressed her leg with his own against the bed, so that she could not move. He was thinking straight, surprisingly enough, since no matter how little self-control he had before Loredana, he would still not be impulsive enough to justify doing inappropriate stuff right in front of children.
He stared daggers into Loredana in silence, she was not particularly old, her long, silky hair also made her even younger, and her face was as white as porcelain. He stroked her face and said, “Lola, you must know that I hate his thoughts of you, very, very much.”
He was utterly unable to treat someone who was eyeing his wife with compassion and kindness.
“I’m a normal human, you see. My woman must only belong to me, no one else can even think of having her.”
Loredana knew that if someone was on Cormac’s mind that much to the point where they were affecting him mentally, it was only natural if she was also upset at that fact.
“I know, I love you and only you. I’m that way towards him due to my moral obligation.” Loredana expressed her feelings. Cormac could be very jealous at times, so she felt that she must explain to him to stop him from over-complicating stuff.
She started laughing out of the blue, “You know, the longer I spend time with you, the more I find out that you’re vastly different when you’re outside than when you’re at home.”
“Hmm? In which aspects do you see that? Tell me.” Cormac was slightly interested as he lied down sideways to avoid falling on her stomach.
Loredana replied, “Let go of my legs, then I’ll tell you.”
Cormac refused, “Tell me first.”
She turned her head around and replied, “Did your employees ever see you behaving this stubbornly?”
“My stubborn side is only shown in front of my wife, they are nowhere near qualified enough to see it.” He said that with a straight face as he did not see any problems in his statement. Loredana was speechless again.
“Yeah,” she said as she sighed, “You definitely are a normal human.”
Cormac grabbed her hand and said, “Touch and feel it.”
Loredana’ eyes widened, as she stared at him while stuttering, “W-w-what are you doing now?”
“I’m letting you touch my body and feel my body heat and my heart beating. You can tell that it’s not made of iron nor steel, it is an entity with its own heat and mind. It also can’t escape death, just like everyone else in the world. So, it is a normal heart, you can’t ask it to behave like a divine god with no lusts nor desires.” Saying that, he saw Loredana’ blushing face, chuckled and added, “You must be thinking about lewd stuff, yes?”
She coughed and said in a stable voice, “No.”
She definitely was not thinking about lewd stuff.
Absolutely not!
Even if she did, she would rather die than admit it.
For her, in front of Cormac, the word “shame” was thrown out of the window long ago.
Loredana was brought completely off topic and on a tangent to outer space.
“What’s that saying again? You tend to follow whatever good or bad things that are done by people close to you.”
“Are you talking about me?” Cormac said as his brows lifted slightly.
“What are you talking about?” Amanda said while rubbing her eyes as she was not used to the lights in the house right after waking up.
“Nothing much, go back to sleep.” Loredana hugged and patted her on the back.
“Mummy, you promised to bring me to the pet shop tomorrow, remember?” Going to the pet shop was basically Amanda’s top priority. She was only half awake but she still did not forget to remind Loredana.
Loredana assured her, “Yes I do, I’ll bring you there tomorrow, but you’ll have to sleep first.”
“I miss you hugging me, mummy, I miss the warm feeling from your hug.” Amanda snuggled up in Loredana’ embrace and said in a stuffy tone.
Loredana could not help but feel guilty. After they brought their kids to City C, they sent both of them to preschool classes. While she was busy rebuilding Cloud and bringing Gambiered Canton Gauze back into public view, she definitely did not pay much attention to her kids.
During that period, the kids had grown up and learned a lot. They could sleep by themselves, dress themselves, and wash themselves without supervision. They were able to take care of themselves for everyday tasks.
“Mummy will spend more time with you two, don’t worry.” Loredana said, then she kissed Amanda’s forehead.
Cormac switched off the lights, lied down next to Loredana and hugged her from behind, “I’ll go with you tomorrow.”
Loredana gave him a ‘hmm’. She did not consider any issues with timing and schedules as she did not want to let her kids down.
The following day, Loredana woke up early in the morning, as there were guests in her home and she did not want to appear to be inconsiderate for oversleeping.
Tiana was also up early. When Loredana went downstairs and saw her coming out of Theresa’s room, she was confused and asked, “Didn’t you sleep in that room?” She said as she pointed at the children’s room.
“I slept in that room, yes.” Tiana replied, “I heard her calling for Alisa, but she was busy preparing breakfast, so I went into her room. She can’t move properly, so I helped her to get to the toilet.” Loredana understood the situation as she walked down the stairs and asked with a smile, “Did you sleep well last night?”
Tiana replied, “I did sleep in during the night. I woke up around 5 o’clock but I couldn’t sleep anymore.”
Loredana knew that something was still on her mind that caused her to be insomniac, so she patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.
“How did she hurt her leg?” Tiana asked Loredana about Theresa.
Loredana pursed her lips. She felt that she should not tell Tiana about these kind of things, as she was still very naive and did not know about how horrible humans could be at times.
However, the Meyer family was related to the Bailey family. While she was unclear what kind of relationships that the two families had, she felt that she could inform Mrs. Meyer through Tiana that Declan was someone with zero moral values, and that she should stay as far away from him as possible.
“Do you still remember the person that Charles asked you to deliver to us?”
Tiana nodded in honesty, “Yes.”
“We need to catch him because he has done a lot of bad stuff.” Loredana spared her the details to make sure that Tiana could understand her.
Tiana understood her. The lady that was injured was hurt by the man that she delivered, so Loredana must catch that man.
“I wanted to wait for Charles to return. We still can catch that bad guy, but no matter how much I hate that bad guy, I must also care for Charles’ safety, I’m sorry, Loredana.”
“You silly girl, you have nothing to do with this, okay? It’s not your fault either. Just like you said, we can still catch him. No crimes go unpunished, it’s just that it’s not time for us to catch him yet.”
Mrs. Meyer came very early to pick up her daughter, much earlier than Loredana had expected. Loredana wanted to have her driver fetch Tiana back after breakfast.
“We would like to go to the detention centre earlier.” Mrs. Meyer also did not sleep well as she was worried about Charles as well.
“Bye, Loredana.” Tiana said while waving goodbye to Loredana.
Loredana waved back to her.
As Tiana got into the car, Mrs. Meyer thanked Loredana, “Thank you for looking after my daughter.”
“She’s a good girl, I didn’t look after her that much, either,” Loredana replied.
“Others think that she’s not smart… So she doesn’t have many friends, and not many people like to spend time with her. You and Charles are the only ones that don’t reject her.” Mrs. Meyer thanked her sincerely for not looking down at Tiana.
