โMmm, Essie really liked Daddy.โ
Essie instantly felt happy again, hugged Reynaldoโs neck, and gave him a kiss on the face.
Reynaldo was thrilled to be kissed by his loved one.
Well, if I canโt coax this man in the future, Iโll ask Essie to do it.
When I entered the house, I looked around the courtyard.
There were indeed many more bodyguards in the courtyard.
It seems that what I said to Reynaldo last time, he did take it to heart and did start to be wary of Kimberly.
โAh, you finally decided to come back.โ
Reynaldo and I had just entered the house when a playful laughter suddenly rang out.
I looked up and saw both Johnathan and Vonnie.
The two of them sat on the sofa, cracking sunflower seeds, looking at me and Reynaldo with big smiles on their faces.
It gave me a feeling: โThey had just gossiped about me and Reynaldo.โ
Madisyn was busy in the kitchen, but when she saw us come back, she quickly came out and smiled at me and Reynaldo, saying, โMr. Dunlap said you would be going out to a party later and not eating at home, so I didnโt cook dinner, just made some sweet soup.โ
โLater, you guys can have some warm drinks to warm up your bodies.โ
Reynaldo nodded and said, โThank you, Madisyn.โ
Reynaldo and I had just returned, and the two children were clinging to us tightly.
Essie wanted Reynaldo to hold her all the time.
Roddyโs little hand kept holding onto my hand, refusing to let go.
Johnathan looked and said, โOur own parents are back; we are no longer free to do as we please.โ
Reynaldo held Essie as they sat down.
This time, Reynaldo did not insult Johnathan, but instead earnestly said to Johnathan, โThank you for taking care of these two children during this time.โ
"Also, the conflict between me and Esmeralda was resolved thanks to your intervention and suggestions."
โJohnathan, really, thank you.โ
However, as soon as he uttered these words of thanks, he directly scared Johnathan.
Johnathan frowned, looking as if he didnโt recognize him, and said, โItโs not Reynaldo, youโฆ you took the wrong medicine?โ
โWhy are you suddenly being so cheesy? Ew! Iโm getting goosebumps.โ
Vonnie covered her mouth and chuckled on the side.
Johnathan did too.
Reynaldo finally thanked him in earnest, but he was not used to it.
Just then, Reynaldoโs face darkened, and he said to him with a forced smile, โYou really are asking for trouble.โ
The key is, when Reynaldo insulted him like that, he was actually quite pleased.
He just put his arm around Reynaldoโs shoulder and chuckled, โThis is our familiar Mr. Humphrey; why suddenly say those sentimental words of thanks to me?โ
โYou scared me; I thought you had been possessed.โ
Reynaldo coolly brushed off his hand, looking like he didnโt really want to deal with him.
Also, Reynaldo rarely sincerely thanked someone, but the person said he must have taken the wrong medicine.
This made Reynaldo feel soโฆ so embarrassed.
Johnathan grinned and asked him, โHow was it? Did you enjoy the belated honeymoon I arranged for you?โ
Reynaldo glanced at him and said with a smile that was not really a smile, โYou really are not suited for serious conversations.โ
With that, he picked up Essie and walked away, leaving Johnathan sitting on the sofa with a confused look on his face.
Johnathan blinked twice and looked at me, โWhat does that mean?โ
