Chapter 1099
I was about to hang up the phone, but unexpectedly, the other end picked up. The calm breathing sound instantly came from the other end of the phone. I gripped my phone tightly, and my heart tightened involuntarily. The man remained silent for a long time. And I, from the beginning until now, have always detested this kind of silence. I asked lightly, “What’s the matter with calling me so many times?” Reynaldo fell silent for a moment and whispered, “It was the children who did it.”
I pursed my lips, feeling a surge of indescribable resentment in my heart. I sneered, “Is that so? Then let them answer the phone.” “They were already asleep.” “Ah!” I didn’t know how to talk to him anymore, with a strong sense of resentment and grievance lingering in my heart. I yelled at him, “Reynaldo, what do you want to do? If you insist on giving up our relationship, then please stop calling me for no reason. If you really can’t trust me, then speak up, and we can start over. I really dislike the way you are. Either we make up and start over, or we completely cut ties and never see each other again.” After saying these words, I was so angry that my chest heaved violently. Worried about doing something irrational again later, I quickly bent over in front of the coffee table and found the box of tranquilizer pills. Without time to read the instructions on the packaging, I quickly tore open the package and poured out a few pills, putting them in my mouth and swallowing them. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination. After taking the calming pill, my mind seemed to gradually calm down. I leaned back on the sofa, smiling at my phone, “If Mr. Humphrey doesn’t have anything else, then just hang up and don’t disturb my rest.”
“Last night, I was talking to you on the phone just fine, when suddenly there was a loud bang. I couldn’t reach you when I called you again; I was just a little worried about you.” “Hehe… Mr. Humphrey was about to give up on me, so why worry about me?” Also, in the future, besides matters concerning the children, please do not call me again, Mr. Humphrey. Otherwise, I don’t mind smashing another phone.”
The breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly became heavy, as if holding back some emotion. I covered half of my face, feeling extremely agitated. I didn’t want to say anything to him anymore, nor did I want to speculate on what he was thinking. I just hung up the phone. The room fell silent for a moment. And this quietness inexplicably made people feel anxious. I think I was really sick. I used to never be afraid of silence, but now, I just feel anxious. I quickly turned on the TV and put on a comedy movie. In an instant, the room was filled with laughter. I huddled on the sofa, laughing heartily along with the people on TV. Just as she was smiling, she felt a chill on her face. I reached out and found tears.
The next day, I slept until noon before getting up. When I arrived at the film crew, it was already afternoon. Quentin was watching over Kimberly on set, and Johnathan was nowhere to be found. As soon as I arrived, Quentin called out to me and beckoned me over. I ignored him and walked towards Gilbert. Gilbert had a pile of food over there, all kinds of snacks, and also some treats. Vonnie was acting with Kimberly at that time.
