Chapter 13

“You promised me that you would never leave me again.”

I clearly felt the panic and unease in his words.

I patted his back gently and whispered, “Don’t worry, I know exactly what his ultimate goal is, so I won’t follow him.”

On New Year’s Eve this year, our family will definitely be together “well”!

Reynaldo didn’t say anything else, just held me quietly.

I looked at the pale and gloomy sky, the uneasiness in my heart always lingering.

In two more days, Johnathan’s case was going to trial.

These days, the online discussion about this matter is also very intense, and the whole of Freybourne is almost focusing on it.

So, how would Reynaldo deal with Matthew and Moshe to defuse this crisis with Johnathan?

Thinking of his bloodthirsty appearance when he killed the Tibetan Mastiff, and Matthew’s words, “Reynaldo is just a reckless madman,” my heart was in a panic.

Matthew’s words always made me feel like Reynaldo was going to “go down with them.”

Thinking of this, I subconsciously tightened my arms and hugged his waist.

Chapter 13

Reynaldo made a lot of dishes, and he also made the children’s favorite meals.

Essie was very polite; she finished her children’s meal cleanly, then climbed onto Reynaldo’s lap and praised Reynaldo for being the best, for cooking the most delicious food, and for being all-powerful.

Reynaldo was amused to the point of laughter.

Madisyn laughed on the side, “Our Essie’s mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter.”

Yes.

I looked at Essie tenderly.

In the past, Roddy was lively and cheerful, with a very sweet mouth, while Essie was a little more introverted.

I didn’t expect that after Essie got to know Reynaldo well, her mouth became so sweet, always making Reynaldo laugh heartily.

Daughters are truly their parents’ little cotton jackets. Essie is so gentle and sweet; she knows how to make people happy.

“Mommy, mommy, it’s snowing.”

At that moment, Roddy suddenly shouted at me by the window.

I walked over with a smile, and sure enough, I saw that it was snowing outside again.

The goose feather-like heavy snow fell down one after another.

Roddy happily hugged me and said, “Mommy, will you and Daddy build a snowman with me later?”

“Okay, but it depends on whether the snow is thick enough, otherwise we won’t be able to build it.”

“Mm-hmm,” Roddy nodded, looking excitedly outside.

Essie also came over, leaning on the windowsill, with her two little hands propping up her chin, looking outside and saying, “Essie still wants to have a snowball fight, Mommy; even if the snow is not thick, we can still have a snowball fight, right?”

“Well, I think so.”

I touched her little head and looked out the window.

I don’t know why, but these two little ones especially loved snowy days.

Whenever it snowed, the two of them could lie by the window and watch for half a day.

Madisyn tidied up the dining table and smiled, saying, “Then I’ll have to go to the toy room later to find some snow play tools for the two little ones. I remember Mr. Humphrey bought some last time.”

After a pause, Madisyn looked at me and Reynaldo, then smiled and said, “These two little ones have been wanting you to play in the snow with them for a long time. Today, it’s rare that Ms. Duffy and Mr. Humphrey are both at home, so you should play with them more.

When Madisyn said this, I realized that I had indeed spent very little time with the children, only these few days with Reynaldo.
