Chapter 768

“Mommy’s home?” Essie was puzzled again. “Then why has mommy never brought us back here? Is it because daddy doesn’t allow us to come back?”

Johnathan didn’t know how to answer the question, so he got out of the car and carried the two little ones out.

He had greeted Reynaldo in advance, asking him to wait at home. Of course, wanting to surprise Reynaldo, he hadn’t mentioned the two little treasures on the phone.

He held one in each hand and walked excitedly into the yard with the two little ones. Their little hands were soft and cute. He was really looking forward to Reynaldo’s expression when he saw them; it was definitely going to be a mix of surprise and excitement.

To be honest, in all the years he had known Reynaldo, he had never seen him so excited that he lost control. This time he would!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Perhaps he was laughing too obviously. Roddy looked up at him and said, “Johnathan, why are you so happy? Do you like my dad and want to see him soon?”

“Um…” Children’s minds are really strange, huh.

Johnathan chuckled and said, “Yes, let’s go.”

Essie looked at the wide open door, but suddenly felt a little timid. She tightened her grip on Johnathan’s hand and asked, “Johnathan, will my father really be happy to see us? I’m afraid he will dislike us."

“How could he?” Johnathan squatted in front of her, and looking at her expectant yet somewhat timid appearance, couldn’t help but ask, “Did your mom say a lot of bad things about your dad in front of you?”

Essie shook her head and said, “No, Mommy has never said anything bad about Daddy in front of us.”

Roddy said, “But I overheard Mommy talking to Vonnie. They said Daddy was very bad and mean, always hurting Mommy and even drove her away.” So this dad must be no good; if he dares to be mean to me and Essie later, I’ll beat him up.

Johnathan touched his little head and said with a smile, “Okay, I’ll help you beat him later. With me here, you don’t have to be afraid.”

“Well, if he doesn’t want me and Roddy, if he wants to drive me and Roddy away, will you take me and Roddy to find mommy?” Essie asked nervously, she was afraid that her father, who she had never met before, would scold her, dislike her, and drive her away.

Johnathan smiled and agreed, but in his heart, he was filled with mixed emotions. Their father loved them so much, how could he possibly not want them? These two little guys were just “overly worried.”

The yard was very quiet, with no one around. The gate was wide open. Johnathan led the two babies into the house, looked around, didn’t see Reynaldo, but saw two aunties busy in the kitchen.

The two aunts were also stunned when they saw the three of them. After a while, one of the aunts hurriedly approached and said, “Mr. Dunlap, you’re here. Oh, who are these two kids? Are they yours, Mr. Dunlap?”

Johnathan laughed. “I wish they were mine.” He paused, looked upstairs, and said, “You guys keep busy, I’ll go find Reynaldo.”

He said, and then took the two babies upstairs.

An aunt busily said, “Mr. Humphrey is not at home right now.”

Johnathan paused, his brows furrowed fiercely. “Not here?”

“Well, Mr. Humphrey left two hours ago. He knew you were coming and thought you probably hadn’t eaten at this time, so he specifically asked us to prepare the meal.”
