Chapter 773

After Johnathan finished speaking, the man’s tall figure shook again, and his handsome face showed an indescribable complexity.

There was excitement, joy, and a touch of indescribable nervousness.

Johnathan glanced at him and said with a smile, “Those two little rascals are mischievous and very likable. Don’t worry, they may have some preconceptions about you being their dad, but they are still looking forward to meeting you. So, when you see them later, don’t have a stern face; be careful not to scare them.”

Reynaldo did not speak.

Johnathan patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “Alright, go up and see them. The two little guys have been waiting for you all day, and all their anticipation has turned into resentment.”

Johnathan said, taking the car keys from his hand and getting ready to leave.

Reynaldo grabbed him by the arm and said, “You, don’t go yet.”

Johnathan looked at him nervously and awkwardly for a few seconds, then burst into laughter.

“No, don’t tell me that you, the dignified, gloomy, and intimidating Mr. Humphrey, would actually be afraid of two soft and tender little children?”

“Go away, I’m afraid they will cry later. I hate it when children cry.”

“Oh!” Johnathan’s eyes twinkled as he grinned mischievously, “How about I bring them to my house? I’m not afraid of their tears, nor am I afraid of their tantrums. And I also consider myself half of their father; they really like me. I don’t mind helping you take care of the children. Hehe, if you don’t want them, give them to me; I want them.”

Reynaldo’s face darkened, and his tone turned several degrees colder as he said, “Say that again, and see what happens.”

Looking at him, clearly eager but always pretending to be aloof and disdainful, Johnathan couldn’t help but laugh. Afraid of really angering the man, Johnathan held back his laughter and said, “Alright, go up and take a look. I have to go back now. My mom has been urging me to go back since noon. I have to go back and check in quickly.”

Reynaldo furrowed his brow, still looking very annoyed and nervous.

Johnathan chuckled, “That’s your child, not some ferocious beast. Look at how scared you are.”

As soon as the words fell, a knife-like gaze swept over, and Johnathan instantly shut his mouth.

Reynaldo didn’t say anything else, just opened the back door and took out a few toys. Johnathan was dumbfounded by this.

Didn’t you say you didn’t believe he would bring the babies back? How come he even bought toys? I laughed to death; he is clearly a guy who says one thing but means another!

I really don’t know how Esmeralda used to put up with him.

The room was very quiet.

Reynaldo loosened his tie and carried his toys upstairs. With each step closer to the room, his heart tightened a little, and in the end, even the bag of toys he was carrying was crumpled in his grip.

Finally reaching the door of the room, he raised his hand and grabbed the doorknob, but he never managed to turn it. After hesitating and struggling for a long time, he ended up backing down instead.

The last time he learned from Lavonne and Quentin’s conversation that Esmeralda had given birth to two babies, he was overjoyed. No one knew that, on the surface he appeared calm, but in reality, a terrifying storm had already been brewing in his eyes.

He thought about going to see the babies and bringing them back. But he was afraid again. He was afraid that the babies would hate him, detest him.
