Loredana saw Armand come in and patted Oscar. Then he immediately knew what she meant and stopped talking.
At this moment, Armand had calmed down himself, as if nothing had happened just now and pulled back the chair to sit down.
He showed a heartless and cavalier look, “Don’t you order?”
Loredana looked at him for two seconds. Although he seemed to look fine, the aura exuded wasn’t relaxed.
He beckoned and called the waiter, “Order.”
Soon the waiter came with a few menus.
He took one of the menus and asked without looking up, “Cormac Mendelsohn, is this your treat?”
Cormac glanced at him and said, “Um.”
“This, this, this and this.” As he said, he raised his head to look at Loredana, “What do you want to eat? I’ll order it for you.”
She looked at him and said, “Whatever, any will do.”
He added a few dishes, then looked at Cormac, “What about you? I know you prefer bland taste, I’ll order for you.”
He ordered two more dishes. Everyone at the table knew he was lovelorn and was in a bad mood, so they leave him be.
“What about you, this buddy?” he called Oscar.
Oscar was speechless.
He thought in his mind, ‘Who is your buddy?’
However, he didn’t say it as he had ‘stolen’ his girlfriend.
“I’m just guest, anything you order will do.” He tugged his collar, and it was still his favourite style of flowery shirt with short sleeves, beige pants and white lace-up leather shoes. These were the standard style for his outfit.
His beloved dress-up.
“I’ll order it for you then,” He told a few more dishes to the waiter.
The waiter took note and asked, “Is there anything else you want?”
“That’s all.” He closed the menu and handed it to the waiter.
Theresa came in very late and the dishes were all served before she came in. She had fixed her makeup, but it could still be seen that her eyes were red.
Armand didn’t look up at her.
Theresa thought he had left and soon the emotions that had been suppressed were triggered when she saw him there.
She couldn’t pretend that nothing had happened and sit there to eat. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to control herself, so she reached out to pull Oscar’s arm, “I don’t want to eat, you accompany me back.”
He tilted his head to look at her and noticed she had obviously cried before. Then he immediately stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
When he spoke, he took the initiative to put his arm around her shoulders. Since they were close to each other and he had always treated her as his relative, thus he didn’t shy about anything on purpose. Since she called him uncle, then she was his relative.
He also wanted to comfort her as he knew she was feeling bad right now.
Armand suddenly raised his head and asked, “Is it because I’m here, so you can’t even eat?”
He smiled, “Don’t worry, I’ve no covetousness to you. If you’re really afraid that I’ll bug you again, I’ll go and you stay here.”
He took off the napkin, put down the knife and fork and stood up, “You sit down and eat. In order to reassure you and let you eat at ease, I’ll go first.”
After finished saying that, he beckoned Loredana, “I’ll leave first.”
Loredana couldn’t say anything but could only watch.
After he left, she pulled Theresa and told her to sit down.
Even if they had sat down, they couldn’t have their meal too. She handed a tissue paper to her, “Just cry if you want. Maybe you’ll feel better after that.” Cormac and Oscar left while Loredana caught a glimpse at them and didn’t ask anything as she thought they probably felt it was inappropriate to be there.
In fact, apart from this reason, there was also something Cormac wanted to say with Oscar.
Last time Oscar did him a favour, but both of them were busy and had no time to sit down and talk properly.
After this incident, Cormac knew that Loredana’s father wasn’t simple in the past, otherwise this relationship wouldn’t exist.
Although he didn’t do anything, the clues he provided were indeed commendable. After all he couldn’t even look into things in the remote past. “Did it go well?” he asked.
When he didn’t grin cheekily, he gave other a bluffing impression, which was the kind of person who would make the children cry when looking at him. However, he was an approachable person when he grinned and didn’t act seriously.
He was rarely unsmiling as he mostly grinned and laughed.
Cormac said, “The task force has been set up to investigate. The case will certainly be strictly investigated as it had turned into such a big deal.” Oscar nodded, “Just tell me if you need help.”
In his opinion, Cormac wasn’t an outsider as Loredana’s husband would be her brother’s son-in-law.
Cormac didn’t want to trouble him much and it was enough for now.
“I’ll take Theresa back first.” Loredana came over. She couldn’t eat anything here and it wasn’t the right place to sit for a long time. As Theresa didn’t want to return to villa, Loredana took her outside for a walk. Cormac said, “Let me accompany you.”
He was worried about her and afraid that she would be too tired as she was pregnant and still had to take care of Theresa.
Right now, Theresa certainly didn’t want too many people around, so she refused, “We’re not going home now, we might walk around outside. I’ve booked a room for uncle in the Narada Hotel. You fetch him over to have a rest.”
She initially planned to let him live in the villa, but there was no more room as all the rooms were used by two maids, Jayden Mendelsohn, Victoria Forbis, Theresa and the children. The rest of the rooms were the utility room and study room but they couldn’t be cleaned up, so she booked a nice hotel.
Oscar waved his hand, “Tell me the place, I’ll go myself. I’m not young now, there’s no need for you to fetch me there and treat me like a child.”
She smiled, “Uncle, you didn’t eat well in noon, order something to eat in the hotel if you’re hungry. I’ll prepare a feast for you tonight.”
“Don’t worry, I can take care of myself, you go and take care of Theresa. You guys just do your own things. Don’t worry about me.” He seemed to get along all right anywhere, “Just tell me the address of the villa, I’ll go there by myself at night.”
His character had always been like this. After Loredana told him the address, she left with Theresa.
As for whether Cormac drive Oscar, or he returned to the hotel on his own, she had no idea.
“Let’s watch a movie, okay?” she said.
Theresa didn’t speak.
She sighed, “I’m pregnant now and I can’t have a drink with you. If you’re very upset, I’ll go and talk to Armand.”
