Chapter 1185

Anton pursed his lips and smiled, a hint of self-mockery in his expression. "You don’t have to take my father’s dying wish seriously. After all, he deceived us first, didn’t he?"

He said that Theodore entrusted Reynaldo to take care of Kimberly for the rest of her life. And the so-called "Theodore deceiving them" is probably Kimberly’s illness.

I looked at Reynaldo. He quietly put his arm around my shoulder and nodded at Anton, saying, "Thank you."

Anton grinned and said, "Thanks for what? It was always like this."

After Anton finished speaking, he glanced at me and then turned to walk towards the booth. Reynaldo stared at his back without blinking, his handsome brows slightly furrowed.

I asked him in confusion, "What’s wrong?"

Reynaldo shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "He is so carefree, which makes me look like a despicable thief."

"Huh?" I looked at him, puzzled.

He rubbed my hair and sighed, "A thief… stole his love, stole his happiness."

"Ugh!" I frowned and interrupted him. "Are you talking nonsense again? Be careful, I’ll punch you!"

Reynaldo humorously pulled me into his arms and said, "No more talking… you are mine, no matter what, you belong only to me."

I glanced at him and thought, "That’s more like it." Otherwise, always thinking like that, it’s easy to push oneself into a dead end.

There was a large booth in the lobby, where Gilbert and some of the crew members were sitting. Reynaldo originally wanted to take me to the small booth on the side, but Gilbert suddenly waved to the two of us.

I glanced carefully in that direction; luckily, Kimberly wasn’t there. I really didn’t want to go back.

Reynaldo and I had just sat down when the sweaty Vonnie and Johnathan came over, saying hi.

Johnathan hugged Vonnie and smiled at me and Reynaldo, saying, "Why don’t you two go dance?"

Reynaldo shook his head and said, "I don’t like dancing."

Johnathan chuckled, "You must be kidding, let Esmie teach you."

Reynaldo squinted his eyes and gave him a cold glance. Johnathan instantly chickened out, quickly shutting his mouth, which made me laugh for a moment.

Johnathan was always picking on Reynaldo, unable to beat him and constantly provoking him. This time, Reynaldo failed, and then he shifted the "attack" to me.

"Come on, Esmie, just take Mr. Humphrey to dance; he’s never danced before in his life."

I smiled at him seriously and said, "I don’t like dancing either."

"Tsk tsk tsk…"

Johnathan immediately wrinkled his nose, looking "disgusted." "Don’t think I don’t know you used to study dance before and don’t like to dance."

"Hey, are you just focusing on Reynaldo? Is this the so-called 'husband and wife singing together'?"

"Yes!" I snuggled affectionately into Reynaldo’s arms, openly admitting it.

Johnathan shook his head, making a clicking sound again. Vonnie couldn’t stand the "clicking" and covered his mouth in silence.

And at that moment, I felt a scorching gaze, sometimes there, sometimes not, staring at me. But when I looked around, I didn’t see anyone looking at me.

In a dark corner on the side, Anton was sitting alone, drinking heavily, which made people feel a bit uncomfortable.

I took a deep breath and casually looked away.

But in an instant, I met Reynaldo’s dark, gloomy eyes. With a slight surprise, I was worried that he was overthinking, but he suddenly patted my back and smiled at me, saying, "You stay here and play with them, I’ll go take a look."

I instinctively grabbed his hand, a little worried that he and Anton might not get along.
