Chapter 766
I patted her back and whispered, โDonโt worry, I know about this.โ
Vonnie was taken aback, โYou knew?โ
I nodded, a strong sense of melancholy rising in my heart. โSince yesterday, Roddy has been feeling down and looked like he had something on his mind. He locked himself and Essie in the room, and I was worried, so I sneaked up to the door to eavesdrop. Then I heard him telling Essie that he was going to look for his dad.โ
โHuh?โ Vonnie muttered, โDoes he really like his daddy that much?โ
โWhich child doesnโt want to be like those normal children, with a mommy and a daddy?โ
Vonnie pursed her lips and fell silent.
I sighed and said, โYesterday he didnโt whisper anything to Johnathan, but asked for Johnathanโs phone number. You said Roddy was only a little over three years old, but he was quite clever, always acting like a little adult. He asked Essie if she wanted to go with him to find their father, and Essie immediately said she did. When it was just getting light, I watched as two little guys left, watched them get into Johnathanโs car. When they left, they even tiptoed into the room to take a look at me. I was pretending to be asleep. They kissed me on the face and said they were just going to see daddy and would be back soon. They also said that their favorite is only mommy, and this time they went to scold daddy for me.โ
I donโt know why, but as I was speaking, my tears just started falling. Actually, I knew that those two little ones still longed for a daddy in their hearts.
Vonnie asked me quietly, โThen why didnโt you stop them?โ
โCould you stop it?โ
I smiled bitterly at her and said, โAdultsโ grievances, they wonโt understand. They only know that there is finally news about daddy, finally a chance to see daddy. If I stopped them, with the mentality of a child, they would only want to see their father more. From then on, their father would become the most persistent presence in their hearts. So, since they were so eager to see their father, it might as well let them go and see him, which could also be considered as settling their minds.โ
Vonnie held me and sighed, โOh well, after all, he is Reynaldoโs child. No matter what, Reynaldo wonโt harm them. Besides, I see that Johnathan likes children and takes good care of them along the way.โ
Yes, thatโs what I thought, so I could confidently let the children leave with Johnathan.
However, I still had to hurry to Freybourne as soon as possible. After all, there was still Kimberlyโs snake in Freybourne.
At this time, Essie and Roddy had already boarded the plane. The two little guys were both excited beyond words.
Johnathan carefully fastened their seatbelts, patting their heads and saying, โBehave and sit tight when the plane takes off later, okay? Once we arrive in Freybourne, Iโll take you to see your dad and give him a big surprise.โ
Essie eagerly asked him, โWill Daddy be really surprised when he sees us?โ
โOf course, itโs on me.โ
โWhy did he drive our mommy away in the first place, why did he bully mommy, why did he hurt mommy, he is a bad daddy,โ Roddy said with a frown.
The angry look on her face caught Johnathan off guard. He found that, although Roddy looked quite similar to Esmeralda, his expression when angry was quite similar to Reynaldoโs. Wow, genetics is really a magical thing.
โYes sirโฆโ
