Chapter 781

“Have you finished speaking? Hang up after you finish.”

Reynaldo’s voice was cold and indifferent.

Johnathan chuckled, “What, are you still mad at me? I was just being scolded by my mom, couldn’t get away. Besides, the babies were made to cry by you, so it must be you who comforted them."

“You should also change your temper, don’t frown all day long. Don’t just talk about the little ones, even I am afraid when I see it.”

Reynaldo was a little impatient, “Hang up.”

“Wait, wait a minute…” Johnathan paused for a second, then carefully stated the main point of the phone call. “Um, Esmeralda is coming back to Freybourne, she should be arriving early tomorrow morning.”

Reynaldo’s hand tightened around the phone in an instant.

He breathed calmly and did not speak.

Johnathan sighed and said, “Reynaldo, let bygones be bygones. You have a child now, and she has returned. Just don’t…”

“Never mind? Then who will compensate for my mother’s life?”

Johnathan instantly fell silent.

It was like an unsolvable knot, causing despair.

Hanging up the phone, Reynaldo stood quietly by the window, and the hatred buried deep in his heart instantly awakened.

He smiled, but his thin lips slowly curved up with a touch of coldness.

How dare she come back?

Was she coming to ask him for a child, or was she convinced that he wouldn’t dare to do anything to her?

That night, Reynaldo couldn’t sleep at all.

At three in the morning, there was suddenly a cry coming from the babies’ room.

His heart tightened, and he quickly got up and rushed out.

He pushed open the door and turned on the light in the room.

He looked over anxiously and saw Essie sitting on the bed rubbing her eyes and crying loudly, while Roddy patted her back to comfort her.

As soon as he saw him, Roddy became guarded, “Bad daddy, what are you here for? Go away!”

Reynaldo stood quietly at the door, his hand at his side clenched tightly.

Although he was anxious in his heart, he couldn’t stand the little guy’s disgusted and guarded eyes.

His own child despised himself so much; his heart was really hurt.

Essie was still crying, wailing in a sad and fearful voice, crying so much that it broke his heart.

He suppressed the sadness and frustration in his heart, and asked Roddy gently, “Sweetheart, please tell daddy, what’s wrong with your sister? Is she feeling unwell?”

“It was all because of you scaring me that Essie had nightmares.”

“You bad daddy, we don’t want you to control us, you go out, you leave!” Roddy said angrily, his little face full of grievances and resistance.

Reynaldo pursed his lips. He glanced at Roddy, then at the crying Essie, and finally said nothing, turning to walk out.

Since the children hated to see him so much, he no longer appeared in front of them.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Roddy’s chubby little hand instantly clenched the blanket.

He couldn’t help but shout at the tall figure’s back, “You, you… come back!”

Reynaldo was taken aback and turned to look at him, “Aren’t you the one who didn’t want to see daddy? Well, daddy has left, so he won’t bother you anymore.”

Roddy pouted and turned away, saying, “I don’t want to see you, but you can’t just leave like this. You need to go and call my godfather.”

Reynaldo’s face darkened.

Roddy kept saying that he was the “godfather“, did he really like Johnathan so much?!

He suppressed his anger and smiled at the little guy, saying, “There is no godfather here, only daddy!”
