Cormac chuckled, “So willful.”
Loredana pouted, “Well, I am willful. I order you to take care of me forever.”
“Of course.” Cormac pinched her thighs playfully and Loredana returned his flirting by saying, “Ouch.”
Cormac asked, “Where does it hurt?”
Loredana pointed at her legs.
Cormac leaned over. Loredana noticed that he was about to kiss her and she quickly moved her legs away. She reprimanded him softly, “Cormac Mendelsohn.” “Don’t be scared, I just want to kiss you.” Cormac stared at her under the dim light, he had a serious look on his face, “If we have a son, let’s send him to City C.” Loredana was speechless.
She didn’t understand what he was trying to say.
“What if the baby is a girl?” asked Loredana.
“Then I’ll keep her by my side.”
Loredana sat up, she was a bit agitated, “What do you mean? Do you not want the child if he is a boy? Do you hate baby boys?”
“Why would I not want my child?” Cormac scooted closer and hugged her, “I am thinking that if we have a son, he can get your surname. Since you never changed your surname either, we can continue your family lineage like this.”
Cormac and Loredana talked about this before. Loredana kind of understood what he was trying to say.
But what did this have to do with surnames and the gender of the child?
“Why can’t my daughter get my surname?” Loredana remembered that Cormac liked daughters more than sons.
She pouted, “Normally, people would favor sons more than daughters. Why are you the other way around?”
Suddenly.
Loredana’ phone vibrated.
Cormac picked it up and saw a message from an unknown number.
“Who is it? Is it Theresa?” Loredana took her phone from Cormac, “I messaged her before I went to bed, and she never replied.”
She then read the message.
Cormac didn’t know what was going on. Before he could read the message, Loredana took her phone away.
At this moment, Amanda suddenly moved. She couldn’t feel the person next to her and wanted to open her eyes. Cormac reached over and grabbed her. He patted her back lightly, “I’m here.” Amanda reached out her hands and touched her father. She then snuggled in his arms and continued sleeping.
Loredana stared at her phone and narrowed her eyes.
The message said, ‘Your husband wore a light grey suit, a white shirt and a black tie today. A man in suit sure is charming.’
“Who is it?” Cormac looked up and asked softly, seeing how engrossed Loredana was.
Loredana quickly deleted the message. She took it as a prank and said casually, “Nothing much, just spam.”
She laid back down on her side and put her leg on Cormac. It was hard to fall asleep during the 3rd trimester. If she lay down on her back her heart would feel uncomfortable. She would only feel better if she raised her leg and slept on her side, “I’m sleepy.”
Cormac put his hand on her leg, he said, “Go ahead and sleep.”
Loredana closed her eyes and didn’t pay too much attention to the message. A lot of people noticed what Cormac wore daily, it was nothing unusual. She squirmed, trying to find a comfortable position and quickly fell asleep.
In the morning when Cormac woke up, he noticed that Loredana and Amanda were still fast asleep. He moved as quietly as he could while getting out of the bed, worried that he would wake them up.
When he was about to go to the bathroom, his phone on the table vibrated. Amanda was frightened last time by the ringtone because he got a call in the middle of the night. After that night, he would set his phone to vibration before they sleep.
He looked at his phone and it was an unknown number. He hesitated briefly, and then he decided to walk out and take the call.
He put the phone next to his ears while walking downstairs with his slippers on.
“Hello?”
“It’s me.” Boyce contacted Cormac first thing after getting a new phone.
“I’m fine, everything’s alright. You don’t have to worry about me. It’s just that I cannot return for the time being.”
Cormac walked up to a table and poured himself a glass of water, “You got a new phone?”
“Yes,” answered Boyce.
“I’ll send you something later and you can decide if you want to come back.” Cormac picked up the glass and drank some water.
“What?”
Cormac said, “See for yourself.”
He then hung up and sent the information that Abbott found out to Boyce.
Boyce could decide what he wanted to do next.
Boyce sat down under a tree. The call got hung up and he put away his phone. Soon after, he got an email. He quickly clicked into it.
He frowned as he read the email, he grimaced harder and harder.
He always had an okay impression of Wendy. He didn’t like her, but he didn’t hate her.
He thought that since Officer Miller was a nice person, the apple wouldn’t fall too far from the tree.
He thought that Wendy had a similar personality to her father.
But he never would’ve thought that she would…
Officer Miller was an honest person, why would his daughter turn out to be such a selfish person and hurt someone for selfish reasons?
She was at fault, but she blamed it all on her ex-husband.
She made her ex-husband the public’s target and made herself the victim.
How could she do that?!!
He wouldn’t believe this if the information was from someone else. But it was from Cormac. Cormac probably looked into this very thoroughly. Otherwise, Cormac wouldn’t have told him this.
“What are you looking at?” Jasmine hugged his neck from behind. She leaned on him and put her chin on his shoulder as she tried to peek at the message. Boyce quickly closed the email application. Jasmine whispered, “What is that? Why are you so afraid that I’ll read it?”
Boyce looked back and said, “It’s nothing, I will deal with it later. Jasmine, let’s go back.” Jasmine was taken aback, but she quickly smiled and said, “I’ll listen to what you say.”
