Chapter 712

I also knew that Johnathan had a very good relationship with Reynaldo. Wherever he appeared, Reynaldo might also be there.

So I asked him, intentionally or unintentionally, if Reynaldo had come to Yoripero. He said no, just him.

“By the way, he also asked me about you, and I said I didn’t know where you were.”

I smiled and shook her hand.

Actually, looking back now, it’s not surprising that Johnathan often appeared in Yoripero. The last time I went on a business trip with Reynaldo, it seemed like most of the projects in Yoripero were being managed by Johnathan.

“Esmie?”

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly drifted over—it was Johnathan.

Vonnie’s face darkened as she said, “Mr. Dunlap, you’re going the wrong way. The exit is over there!”

Johnathan glared at her and said, “Didn’t you say you didn’t know where Esmie was? Such a little liar, always lying.”

“You are just a little liar; your whole family are all little liars!”

I held onto angry Vonnie and looked at Johnathan. “Mr. Dunlap, do you need me for something?”

Johnathan frowned and said, “Esmie, when did you start talking to me so distantly?”

I smiled and said to him, “What do you mean by saying such things now? You see, I ‘killed Reynaldo’s mother,’ you should be as disgusted with me as he is. So, what are you up to by suddenly coming to me for a chat?”

“Look at you, talking about me as if I’m plotting against you.”

Johnathan pulled Vonnie away and plopped down next to me.

Vonnie angrily said, “Are you out of your mind?”

Johnathan smiled at her and said, “I just talked to her for a few words, and then I left. See you next time, I’ll treat you to bubble tea.”

Vonnie rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

Johnathan looked at me and sighed. “How should I put it? Even though you killed Reynaldo’s mother, we still have a relationship.”

I tugged at my lips, a touch of self-mockery flashing through my mind.

Johnathan continued, “Besides, even though Reynaldo hates you, you are still the person he loves the most. As his brother, how can I hold any hostility towards his beloved?”

“You have no idea, Reynaldo has been drinking heavily recently; he has been to the hospital several times for stomach bleeding.”

I subconsciously tightened the hem of the clothes covering my legs.

Johnathan sighed deeply. “Every time he gets drunk, he shouts your name.”

It used to be like that; now, even if I hate you, it’s still the same. I didn’t know what to do either. I had advised him countless times to forget about you, but he just remained silent. Then I said, ‘If you really can’t bear to let go, just go find him,’ but he punched me in the face with a cold expression. In short, he has become more and more contradictory now and has become a bit abnormal. I came to Yoripero now, and I don’t know how he is now. Ah!”

I smiled calmly and asked, “Why are you telling me this?”

“I’m not doing anything, just venting to you.”

Reynaldo, that guy, he really had issues. When he wasn’t feeling well emotionally, he would take it out on his own body. I saw that his body would sooner or later collapse under him.

“That was his own business, and his body was his own. If he didn’t cherish it, he couldn’t blame others,” I said lightly.

Johnathan pursed his lips and said, “You’re right. If I bring back your words to him, he’ll probably spit blood again.”
