Chapter 1132
There have been disputes and misunderstandings in recent years. Those bittersweet emotions have been swirling in our hearts, long ago changing our moods towards each other. At first, he persistently wanted to be with me, even if it meant using all means to force it. And now, it turns out that he was the one who gave up on me first. So, the biggest issue I have with him now is his mindset; it’s the change in his mindset.
Johnathan said a lot along the way. Vonnie looked at me and, seeing my gloomy face, shouted at him, “Okay, stop talking, don’t say so much, are you thirsty or not?”
“I’m not thirsty,” Johnathan replied, ending with a silly smile, “Vonnie still cares about me, worrying if I’m thirsty or not.”
I covered my mouth and chuckled. Vonnie shook her head in silence. The car didn’t seem to know where it was going, and the surroundings became more and more remote as we drove. Along the way, I asked Johnathan several times, “Where are you taking us?” Johnathan, however, beat around the bush and didn’t tell me.
Vonnie was surprisingly quiet. If it had been a normal day, Vonnie would have already forced Johnathan to reveal where he was going. So, Vonnie’s silence proved that she knew where Johnathan was taking me. So I asked Vonnie, only to find out that this woman suddenly sided with Johnathan and didn’t tell me.
The weather was getting colder as winter approached, and it was getting dark very quickly. The car had been driving for over an hour, and the sky had long since turned completely dark. Johnathan seemed to still be driving out to the outskirts. If it weren’t for my firm belief that neither of them would betray Reynaldo, nor would they betray me, I would have suspected that they were trying to kidnap me.
Seeing that both of them were being secretive, I didn’t bother to ask. Anyway, they wouldn’t harm me. The car continued to drive for about ten minutes and finally came to a stop. I frowned and stared at the villa in front of me nestled in the darkness of the night, then turned to look at Vonnie.
Vonnie shook her head hastily, “I don’t know where this is either.” As she spoke, she also pointed at Johnathan and said to me, “Anyway, he told me that if I wanted you to make up with Reynaldo, then I had to help him bring you here.”
I clenched my fists secretly, and a touch of complexity rose unconsciously in my heart. I should have guessed earlier that they were acting so strangely today, not even in a hurry to have some alone time. Most likely they were worrying about me and Reynaldo again. However, what’s the point of them putting in effort on my side unilaterally? For the past half month, Reynaldo has been avoiding me. Not even one call was answered by me; all of them were answered by the children. So, what’s the point of them bringing me to this remote villa now?
At this moment, Johnathan had already gotten out of the car and was kindly opening the door on my side, smiling at me and saying, “We’re here, Esmie. Get out of the car.”
I didn’t move. Vonnie shook my arm and said, “Come on, Esmie, let’s go and take a look first.”
I asked Johnathan, “Is Reynaldo in there?”
Johnathan shook his head hastily, “No, he isn’t there.”
“Then he should be on his way too, right?” I said with a faint smile.
Johnathan immediately fell silent. Sure enough, I guessed it right.
