Chapter 1083

Johnathan patted her back lightly and suddenly looked at me.

“Just tell me, Esmie, are you coming back to Freybourne this time just to have a baby with Reynaldo, then disappear with Essie and Roddy once you’re pregnant? Are you planning to have no further involvement with Reynaldo?”

I didn’t say anything.

In my mind now, all that lingers is Reynaldo’s words: “I regretted.”

I didn’t even want to mention him, didn’t want to discuss anything about him.

Vonnie pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

Johnathan glanced at me and Vonnie, sighed, and said, “See, I guessed it right. He must be thinking the same thing.”

So, it’s not that he didn’t trust you, it’s that he didn’t dare to believe that you would love him.

He felt that you didn’t love him, and he felt that his strong and crazy love hurt you, so he retreated, do you understand?

Johnathan said to Anton almost the same thing.

I didn’t know why each of them men had to make things so complicated.

I only knew that not loving in the past was not loving; now, loving is loving.

Chapter 10

Why do we have to bring up the past now?

Johnathan glanced at me and whispered, “And Essie’s illness is also a big blow to Reynaldo.”

He must have been both sad and anxious in his heart now, and also afraid.

It was hard-won to have a lovely daughter, but she ended up getting sick again.

Forget about him. I felt really upset when I heard this news.

Yes, Essie’s illness was the most despairing.

I didn’t even want to think deeply about what I would do if something really happened to Essie.

Johnathan took off his glasses, rubbed his red eyes, and said, “And, your falling down and having a difficult birth, he thinks it’s his fault for kicking you out of Freybourne.”

You couldn’t get pregnant now, and he must have felt it was his fault.

So, he must have felt guilty and broken inside.

“If I had caused such great harm to the woman I deeply love, I would probably feel so guilty that I wouldn’t want to live anymore.”

Vonnie glanced at him, squeezed his hand, and said, “No way.”

Johnathan smiled at her, his eyes still a little red.

He said to me, “I have been watching you all along the way, and to be honest, Reynaldo is just a person with a sense of depression and melancholy.”

Chapter 1083

When you first got married, he would come to me whenever he was hurt.

He always asked me if he had done something wrong, if he was very bad, very annoying, why you just didn’t like him.

I also advised him many times to just let it go, there are plenty of girls out there, no need to hang himself on your tree.

But he just wouldn’t; he said, “As long as I keep treating you well, you will eventually fall for me.”

I turned away and didn’t really want to hear about the past.

Vonnie kicked Johnathan and said, “Okay, Ralda is still sick, you are not allowed to say those things that upset Ralda about the past.”

Johnathan shook her hand and suddenly asked me, “Do you know why your family went bankrupt and Reynaldo’s company took off?”

I didn’t say anything.

I still harbored resentment in my heart, to the point where I now feel very resistant to everything in the past.

Vonnie was quite curious: “Why?”

In fact, Reynaldo had known for a long time that the Duffy Group was in crisis. He even lent money to the Duffy Group in the name of another company, hoping to help them through the difficult times.
