Chapter 1127

Originally, I thought this was just a very ordinary and common reminder. After all, it’s quite normal for children to stay with their father. Little did I know that as soon as I finished speaking, the man’s face suddenly turned pale. He slowly raised his eyes to look at me, with a hint of disbelief and sadness in his slightly reddened eye sockets.

I frowned. What’s going on? Did I say something wrong again? I unconsciously took a step back and asked him, “What’s wrong with you again?”

He stared at me intently, about to speak, when suddenly he coughed. Like “anxiety attacking the heart,” he covered his lips and coughed somewhat violently. I thought of Johnathan saying he had internal injuries. My heart tightened, and I was about to help him. He suddenly took two steps back and distanced himself from me. So my outstretched hand came to a halt in midair. I tugged at my lips, feeling a touch of bitterness in my heart. Look, he wouldn’t even let me touch it now.

Reynaldo took a while to calm down gradually, but his face looked even paler than before, with a few traces of blood seeping from the corners of his lips. He looked at me and smiled palely, “In order to be with Anton wholeheartedly, you… actually gave up the children.”

Oh, this… No, what on earth was Reynaldo’s head doing? How could he think like that? Essie and Roddy were my life and soul; how could he think I didn’t want the children? Even if I abandon anything in this world, I could never abandon my two children.

He didn’t even wait for me to speak. He said again, with a slightly excited and indignant tone, “You don’t want them; I want them. They were the best gift that heaven had ever given me. Even if I had to give up all my wealth and status, I would never give them up. You can rest assured, I will go and bring them back now; from now on, they don’t need you to worry about them.” He said he was ready to leave.

I grabbed him and said in silence, “Can you stop overthinking like this, and can you wait for me to finish talking first?”

Reynaldo looked at me, his eyes completely red. He said, “The two children love you so much that when they were abroad, the word ‘mommy’ never left their mouths. But you… But you didn’t want them anymore? You could be with Anton; I have let go as well, but why do you still want to abandon them? Did Anton mind that they were our children, so he didn’t accept them? You did it for Anton, after all…”

“Okay!” I couldn’t bear it any longer, so I interrupted him. Reynaldo really went too far with his words.

I said in a low voice, “I didn’t say I was going to abandon them, and I definitely won’t abandon them. I asked you to take them to your place to stay because I was worried that Kimberly would go after them. I also loved them very much and was very reluctant to part with them. For their safety, I had to let them follow you; after all, you are more capable of protecting them than I am, aren’t you?”

Reynaldo stood there in shock. He stared at me blankly, his thin lips moving as if he wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.

I looked at him speechlessly. “I really don’t know why you thought I was going to abandon them.”

Reynaldo pursed his lips and fell completely silent. Look, this man is either lost in thought or silent. I grumbled, “Forget it, forget it. I told you, but you don’t understand. Anyway, whether you want to pick up the children or not, if you don’t, I can also try to protect them as much as possible.”

“I went,” Reynaldo then spoke, his tone returning to the low calmness of before. It seems that the person who just accused me of “abandoning my husband and children” was not him.

When he was leaving, he suddenly said to me, “Although we didn’t successfully process the divorce today, it doesn’t prevent you from being with Anton, you…”

“Enough!” I interrupted him angrily, “Do you have to assume that I am with him?”

Reynaldo fell silent for two seconds, lowered his gaze, and said quietly, “I saw it all, that night, you… embracing each other. And I called you, and he answered. Actually, I had already been learning to slowly let go, really.”

I was so angry that I didn’t know what to say. When did I embrace Anton?

“Between you and me, now it’s just the bond of children; wait until they grow up…”

I really didn’t want to hear a single word he said. Without waiting for him to finish, I turned and walked towards my car. I felt like I really couldn’t communicate with this man normally now. I got into the car, and Reynaldo stood still at the courthouse door until I drove away.

Worried that he had forgotten to pick up the child, I called him. This time, he responded quickly. Without waiting for me to speak, he said, “Don’t worry, I will go pick up the children now.” He called me to let me know.

After saying that, I hung up the phone. Feeling extremely upset, as soon as I got home, I took out a few bottles of wine to drink. Originally thinking that getting drunk would help me sleep, but after drinking several bottles in a row, I still wasn’t drunk. Instead, I felt more and more restless in my mind. I opened another bottle of wine and, halfway through drinking it, couldn’t help but take out my phone, pull up his photo, and curse at it.

Just as I was getting into my stride with the scolding, suddenly a phone call came in.

Chapter 1128

I looked over dazedly and realized it was Reynaldo calling. In an instant, the resentment and irritability in my heart seemed to have found an outlet. As soon as I answered the phone, I started cursing at him.

“Reynaldo, you were just a self-righteous, fickle bastard, a lunatic. When did I get together with Anton, when did I hug him? You always like to wrongly accuse me. Back then, you used to hug Kimberly in front of me, and you always protected Kimberly. What did I say? You just didn’t believe me; you just liked to falsely accuse me; you just liked to PUA me; you just liked to get angry at me for no reason. I hated you. I was annoyed to see you now. I didn’t want to see you anymore. I ignored you. Reynaldo, you are so annoying, so annoying…”

I didn’t care if anyone was listening on the other end of the phone; I yelled at my phone for quite a while. Finally, I got tired of scolding, and I also got tired of scolding. I leaned on the sofa, closed my eyes, feeling drowsy, and couldn’t help but curse a few more times.
