Chapter 1107
Johnathan lied to her, saying he was going on a business trip, definitely not wanting to worry her. So, it’s better not to tell her about this matter.
“Oh…” Vonnie took a few sips of soup and said to herself, “Then wait until he gets off the plane and give him a call. These days, I was so exhausted from filming that I didn’t help you ask.”
“I’ll go back in a while, I guess I’ll be able to fall asleep as soon as I lie down.”
“Okay.”
After finishing dinner and returning home, it was already past eleven o’clock at night. My phone remained silent.
I leaned against the door panel, staring at the chat interface with Reynaldo for a while, and then dialed his phone number again. This time, still no one answered.
I hung up the phone, slid down along the door panel, and sat on the ground, painfully pulling my hair. I don’t know how that man is doing now, let alone whether the two children are okay. Worries and fears swelled in my heart, almost suffocating me. I hugged my knees uncomfortably, burying my face between them, feeling that every minute and every second at that moment was unbearable.
Suddenly, a crisp ringtone of a cell phone sounded. I shuddered all over and quickly picked up my phone to answer the call. However, the one who called was not Reynaldo, but Johnathan.
“Hello, Esmic, did you call me for something? I was on a plane just now, so my phone was off.”
“What happened with Reynaldo?” I asked in a low voice.
Johnathan paused for a moment and said with a smile, “Nothing happened, what’s wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare or just overthinking?”
“I called him, but he didn’t answer.”
“Um… he was probably busy, or maybe he was sleeping. You know, there’s a time difference between his place and Freybourne. Come on, Esmie, don’t overthink it, he…”
“Enough, can you just tell me the truth!” I furrowed my brow, feeling somewhat frustrated as I cut him off.
Johnathan fell silent for a moment, and after a while, he said, “He is really fine over there, don’t worry, take care of yourself. Oh, by the way, the two children are also fine, rest assured, they are all fine.”
“And what about you? Why did you rush over to his place in the middle of the night?” I really hated their self-righteous deception. I thought I could keep it from me, so I wouldn’t worry, but little did I know, the more you hide, the more anxious I become.
Johnathan chuckled, “Esmic, what are you talking about? Didn’t Vonnie tell you? I rushed to catch the plane overnight for a business trip, not to Reynaldo’s.”
“Can you tell me Reynaldo’s address abroad?”
“Oh no… Esmie, are you going to fly over there? Listen to my advice, don’t act impulsively, what if you run into Matthew?” It seems that Johnathan “couldn’t say anything” anymore.
I slowly closed my eyes and hung up the phone directly. I leaned against the door panel and tugged at my lips. Don’t want me to worry at all? Okay, then I’m not worried. Let them be, let Reynaldo be dead or alive, as long as my Essie and Roddy are fine. Although I tried to hypnotize myself like this in my heart, I couldn’t help but cry, full of confusion and helplessness.
Just then, my phone suddenly rang. I glanced down and my heart skipped a beat when I saw that it was a message from Reynaldo.
