Chapter 1151

Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly stepped into a void, and my whole body instantly lost balance and fell.

Fortunately, Reynaldo timely hugged my waist and pulled me back.

In the midst of all the pulling and tugging, my robe slipped down from my shoulders, revealing a large expanse of chest.

The man’s eyes darkened suddenly, his hot gaze staring straight at me.

It is not…

Wasn’t it just over? Hasn’t he had enough yet?

I said, “It’s a miracle that he can tolerate such high demands every time.”

The thought of him parting ways with me during this time made me angry.

I stared at him and said, “Aren’t you supposed to treat me as a stranger and never see me again? Then don’t look at me with that kind of gaze.”

Reynaldo cleared his throat uncomfortably, raising a hand to his lips.

He straightened my nightgown and smiled at me, saying, “Let’s have a midnight snack.”

Humph!

Changed the subject again!

I ignored him and rushed down the steps.

He caught up with a laugh and said, “You’re running so fast, be careful not to fall again.”

“Hey, it’s strange, aren’t you supposed to treat me like a stranger? Why are you so concerned about a stranger?”

“Esmeralda…” he smiled at me helplessly.

Oh, does he know helplessness now?

I didn’t even think about how he almost drove me crazy during this time.

He pulled me to sit down in front of the dining table.

I glanced at the table and saw that he had prepared some delicate snacks. I once again marveled at his skillful hands; the appearance of these snacks could be sold in a shop window.

I said, “If he went bankrupt, he would definitely make a good chef.”

My mind was diverging.

He suddenly pushed a snack in front of me. I subconsciously looked up at him, but inadvertently saw the clock hanging on the wall behind him.

There were five minutes left until midnight.

His birthday was approaching, and I hadn’t said “happy birthday” to him.

Thinking of this, I impulsively wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips.

He shuddered all over.

In his astonished gaze, I leaned in to his ear and whispered, “Happy birthday, husband.”

He shook again, looking at me with an incredulous expression.

I stepped back slightly.

He tilted his head and chuckled, “Why are you looking at me so surprised? Isn’t today your birthday? Are you not my husband?”

He stared at me deeply for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

This smile, like melting away all the gloom, like someone finally pulling him out from the darkness.

The sunlight finally enveloped him, dispelling the gloom and desolation that had shrouded him.

His smile softened the years in an instant, warming everything.

I stared blankly at the smile on his face.

He suddenly pulled me into his arms and gently kissed my lips.

Dong… dong…

The clock struck midnight, ringing softly and lingering in the room.

Reynaldo then let go of me.

He looked at me deeply, his eyes slightly red, and then, after a long time, he hugged me and said, “Esmeralda, thank you for spending my birthday with me.”

Over the years, this is the first birthday I have spent with him.

I patted his back and whispered, “From now on, I will celebrate every birthday with you. And our children, we raised them together for you.”

He still held me tightly, his face buried in my neck.

I suddenly felt something hot dripping onto my neck.
