Chapter 1268

Reynaldo shook his head and suddenly stared at me with a strange look.

I was stunned for a moment and asked him, โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s nothing, justโ€ฆ if I tell you that woman was killed by Matthew, youโ€™ll be surprised again,โ€

โ€œAh?!โ€

I was indeed shocked and asked hastily, โ€œWhy? Isnโ€™t he very concerned about this woman? Why would he want to kill her again? Whatโ€™s going on?โ€

Reynaldo shook his head and said, โ€œIโ€™m not very clear on the specifics. I could only find out roughly what happened in Roxafito. In short, it seemed that woman was the one he killed, and he went crazy because of it for a while. So, I was also not sure what his feelings were for that woman. And even if that woman were still alive, Iโ€™m not sure if that woman could have restrained him.โ€

Well, they are all dead, so thereโ€™s no point in asking any further.

Reynaldo lowered his head and put his arm around my shoulder, smiling as he asked, โ€œWhy are you suddenly so interested in this woman?โ€

โ€œI just answered Matthewโ€™s phone call.โ€

In an instant, Reynaldoโ€™s nerves tightened and his tone became serious.

โ€œWhat did he say?โ€

โ€œI couldnโ€™t help but mention the name โ€˜Ceceliaโ€™ to him just now, and his reaction was a bit scary. So I was a little curious in my heart about the story between him and Cecelia, and also puzzled how Cecelia could die.โ€

Reynaldo shook his head, โ€œI donโ€™t know.โ€

He paused for a moment, his tone becoming a bit more serious, โ€œHave you already agreed to go see him?โ€

I looked up at him and saw his face full of displeasure, with worry and nervousness in his eyes.

I smiled and took his hand, โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong? Didnโ€™t we agree on that day? I was responsible for guiding Kimberly and Matthew to confront each other, then taking the opportunity to record their conversation, while you and the bodyguards were responsible for secretly protecting me.โ€

โ€œWerenโ€™t we all in agreement that day? Why are you upset again?โ€

โ€œI was still afraid you would have an accident.โ€

Reynaldo frowned deeply and looked at me intently, โ€œCan you not go see him? Letโ€™s think of another way. Worst case scenario, Iโ€™ll confront him. I really donโ€™t want you to take this risk.โ€

โ€œBut you fought with him, and besides ending up with a result of mutual harm, you still couldnโ€™t solve the fundamental problem. For example, what happened to Johnathan. If you were injured again, who would come to save Johnathan? And what about me and the children? If you are hurt, who will protect us?โ€

Reynaldo pursed his thin lips and remained silent. But the tense expression was tinged with a hint of coldness, and the hand by his side was clenched tightly.

I touched his tightly clenched fist and slowly loosened it. I held him and whispered, โ€œLetโ€™s just try this method first. Itโ€™s the only one. If it works, we can save Johnathan without any loss.โ€

โ€œWhat ifโ€ฆ it fails?โ€ Reynaldo asked, his voice tense.

โ€œItโ€™s okay if it fails. If this method fails, Matthew wonโ€™t be pressuring us step by step like he has been recently. He wonโ€™t kill you and me in Freybourne unless he really doesnโ€™t want to leave Freybourne.โ€

Reynaldo didnโ€™t say anything; he just raised his hand and put it around my shoulder, hugging me very tightly.

I patted his back and said cheerfully, โ€œOkay, donโ€™t be upset. I promise you, I will definitely protect myself.โ€

Besides, I was just going to see him once, and Kimberly would be there too. He couldnโ€™t do anything to me, right?
