Chapter 735
According to Vonnie, the party had been over for many days. But during these days, no one came to disturb me and the babies. So, Reynaldo probably didn’t hear the conversation between Vonnie and Quentin at that time. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Vonnie muttered to me, “It’s all because of that Quentin, with his tearful eyes, knowing full well that I’m a soft-hearted person.” I smiled at her and said, “Next time you see him, just leave; don’t pay attention to him.” “Definitely!” Vonnie hummed and buried her head to eat.
I glanced at her and knew in my heart that she was still somewhat unhappy because of Quentin, so I didn’t mention those people again. I changed the subject and told her some interesting stories about the babies, and showed her the recent photos of them.
The babies are almost eight months old now, super cute, and they love to smile a lot. Especially Roddy; he always smiled when meeting people, while Essie was a bit introverted and quiet. Essie needed someone to tease her in order to make her smile.
Roddy crawled around all day, while Essie just sat there quietly playing with toys. Every day, with two lovely little babies accompanying me, my heart was always soft.
Vonnie couldn’t resist going to the nursery again to see the two babies after I described them as so adorable. She said she would temporarily stop taking on acting jobs and stay at home to spend time with me and the baby. I naturally agreed happily, as I had hoped she would take more rest.
Vonnie drank several bottles of wine again and ended up a little drunk. I helped her to the room to rest. Just as I tucked her in, I heard her crying. She lay curled up in the quilt, crying softly.
I sighed and gently stroked her back, feeling sorry for her. She turned over, held my hand, and mumbled, “What’s so good about Kimberly? Why does Quentin like her?”
Quentin was blind, blind in his heart and blind in his eyes. He clearly was not sensitive to emotions; he clearly said he didn’t want to fall in love, didn’t want to get married. Why is it that Kimberly can? Oh… Ralda, am I not good, not as good as Kimberly…” “How is it possible? Vonnie is the best! What is Kimberly? Just a little bit pretending; what advantages does she have—affected, disgusting.” “But men all like that kind of her, don’t they?”

“Men who like her type are all blind, especially Quentin.” “Vonnie, don’t be sad. Quentin is a fool in love; he is not worthy of you. You deserve the best man to protect you.” “But I liked Quentin, I really liked Quentin…”
She held my hand and said incoherently, tears smudging the back of my hand. I sighed with pity, not knowing how to comfort her for a moment. I didn’t even know when her subtle feelings for Quentin started.
I patted her shoulder and whispered, “Don’t think too much, rest early. The babies all miss their godmother. Tomorrow we will take them out to play.”
Vonnie did not respond to my words, her slender body trembling with sobs. I waited for a while, but still didn’t hear her voice. I thought she had fallen asleep. As she was about to turn off the light and leave, she suddenly muttered, “That year, I went to your house to look for you, but you weren’t there. Only Quentin was there, playing games. When he saw me, he asked me to play with him.”
