Chapter 628
Quentin sneered, “Come on, what kind of sister is a sister without blood ties? I am also a man. Reynaldo just wants to have the best of both worlds. He can’t bear to let go of either of you.”
I hung my head and said nothing, while my mom grabbed Quentin’s arm and said, “Enough, stop talking nonsense here, Reynaldo is not like you men.”
Quentin’s face darkened. “What do you mean ‘us men’? I am much more loyal than Reynaldo, and besides, Mom, I am your own son, why do you always side with Reynaldo?”
My mother glanced at me and said, “Think for yourselves, how did Reynaldo treat us?”
Quentin remained silent.
My mother added, “Not bad, since he became successful, he not only paid off all our debts but also bought us this house, giving us a place to live. But think about how we used to treat him before? If he didn’t truly like Ralda, how could he have gone this far?"
Everyone has family, and everyone will protect their family first. He treated that woman as his sister, that’s why he would protect her like a brother. Quentin, just say if the situation fell on you, if one day, Ralda had a little dispute with your girlfriend, wouldn’t you defend Ralda? Does it mean that you don’t love your girlfriend if you are maintaining a relationship with Ralda?”
“…” Quentin was speechless by my mom.
And at this time, Reynaldo’s phone had already been disconnected. He called three times in total, but I didn’t answer any of them. I just held onto my phone, feeling a bit complicated.
My mother pushed Quentin into the kitchen and said, “Alright, you must have something cooking in your pot. Go check it quickly, or it will burn later.”
Quentin seemed to have just remembered the kitchen, and he rushed into it in a panic, saying, “I made Beet Wellington. I forgot it if you didn’t mention it.”
My mother came up to me, took my hand, and said, “No matter how Reynaldo defends that woman, his love for you is real, isn’t it?”
“Mom… do you think it’s possible for someone to fall in love with two people at the same time?”
My mother shook her head and said, “In my opinion, he treats you differently than he treats that woman. If he truly loved that woman, he wouldn’t have chosen to marry you in the first place. After our family went bankrupt, he wouldn’t help you either, wouldn’t continue to entangle with you. So, children, emotional matters must not be too entangled in a small matter, and ignore his original sincerity. You shouldn’t always think that he was defending that woman. He was just deceived by that woman. He is also a victim, isn’t he? What you should do is not to get angry with him, nor to stay away from him, otherwise you will really fall into that woman’s trap and push him towards that woman. What you had to do was to help him see the truth, help him see the true face of that woman.”
Listening to my mother’s words, I vaguely understood something. I said, “So I shouldn’t have ignored his call just now, right?”
My mother nodded with a smile. “Yes, it’s better to clarify things. If you don’t answer the phone, misunderstandings will only get worse.”
I pursed my lips and smiled, saying, “I understand, I will go find him now.”
Quentin muttered at the kitchen door, “What are you still looking for? I’m almost done with dinner.”
“You guys go ahead and eat first.” I smiled and said, “I’m leaving,” then ran out.
