Chapter 1115

Before, when he looked at me, his eyes were dark and oppressive, full of a sense of oppression, and there were signs of anger at every turn. But now when he looks at me, his eyes are calm, with a hint of sadness hidden in them.

He stood in front of me and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Long time no see.”

I lowered my eyes, studying the gift Essie and Roddy had given me, and said lightly, “It hasn’t been long, just over a month.”

The hand by Reynaldo’s side curled slightly, without saying a word.

Essie suddenly stuffed the gift box into my hand and said, “Mommy, Daddy’s gift, you haven’t opened it yet.”

I smiled and patted her head, “Don’t worry, Mommy will open it when she gets back.”

Essie pouted and said, “Let’s open it now. Dad will be very happy if we open it in front of him.”

I laughed and said, “There are too many people here, Mommy wants to go back and quietly open it to see.”

Essie frowned and said, “Okay…”

After giving me the gifts, the two children ran over to Johnathan and Vonnie’s side, and Vonnie happened to be resting at that moment. As soon as they left, the atmosphere between me and Reynaldo became subtle in an instant.

I don’t know what I am to him now. Strangers with marriage certificates and children?

I returned the gift to him and said to him lightly, “Since Mr. Humphrey said he wanted to part ways with me, from now on, you and I are like strangers. So why bother Mr. Humphrey to carefully choose a gift for me?”

“You do this, but it will make me misunderstand.” Reynaldo pursed his thin lips.

He looked at me for a while before speaking, his voice sounding somewhat hoarse. He said, “Just consider it as a gift between ordinary friends.”

“Just friends?” I chuckled sarcastically, “I don’t think so. I can’t be just friends with a man who has emotional entanglements with me. Furthermore, Mr. Humphrey, did you forget that there is also a layer of marital relationship between us? So, if Mr. Humphrey wants to be just friends with me, then he should first end that relationship.”

Reynaldo’s body trembled slightly. His eyes suddenly became very dark, as if in an instant he had lost all his radiance. He asked me in a low voice, “Do you want to break up?”

I furrowed my brows, and a sense of indescribable annoyance surged in my heart.

Chapter 1116

He is the one who wanted to draw a line with me, and he is also the one who said he wanted to be just friends with me. He didn’t want me to have this layer of marriage with him. So, why did he have to question me like that again? Why did he have to throw the question back at me? It’s as if I made it seem like I abandoned him, as if I betrayed his deep affection. It was him who retreated, wasn’t it?

The more I thought about it, the more intense the resentment in my heart became. I clenched my hand tightly by my side and sarcastically said to him, “Release? Of course I want to be released, so that I can fulfill Mr. Humphrey’s wish and become just a regular friend with Mr. Humphrey, isn’t it?”

Reynaldo looked at me deeply, his eyes filled with an indescribable sadness. I looked away in annoyance, feeling both angry and wronged in my heart. Everything went as he wished, so why did he have to put on such a sad look for me to see?!
