Chapter 785

Essie found a comfortable position for herself, then picked up the bottle and eagerly started sucking.

Reynaldo held the baby in his arms, his heart as soft as could be. He just hoped that this moment could last a little longer.

However, the two little ones quickly finished drinking the milk.

Reynaldo said busily, “Do you still want to drink? There’s more."

Essie shook her head and said, “I want to go to bed.”

Roddy had already put the bottle on the bedside table by himself, then crawled into bed and fell asleep.

Essie got up from his arms and crawled into the quilt, snuggling up to her brother.

At one point, Reynaldo felt useless. But he was reluctant to leave, really reluctant. He tried to ask the two little ones, “Can Daddy sleep with you?”

Essie looked at Roddy.

Roddy frowned at him and asked, “Why? Don’t you dislike us?”

“Like you? Daddy really likes you guys,” Reynaldo said earnestly.

Roddy still frowned slightly, a little skeptical of his words.

Reynaldo hurriedly said, “Daddy has nightmares when he sleeps alone and is very scared. Daddy wants to sleep with you guys.”

Essie softened as soon as she heard this. The small hand held his arm, and the small body also moved to the side, “Then come into the blanket, I’ll move over for you.”

Looking at his affectionate daughter, Reynaldo’s eyes were full of tenderness and his heart was warm. He had been suffering from insomnia for a very long time.

When did it start? It seems that he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep since his mother passed away and Esmeralda left.

Everyone said he was sinister and cruel, cold-blooded and ruthless, but no one knew that he was actually very fragile. How many late nights he woke up from nightmares, his heart aching, tears on his face. Waking up and unable to fall asleep again; even memories were a heart-wrenching pain.

Now, holding the lovely baby, he soon fell asleep. In the dream, it was no longer the despairing pain, but the joyful scenes of him and the children together, and in the dream, there was… Esmeralda.

This dream was so beautiful, so beautiful that he almost didn’t want to wake up.

“Daddy, Daddy…”

Suddenly there came a soft and tender call in his ears. He slowly opened his eyes; the sun was already shining brightly, and the room was filled with sunlight.

Two little guys huddled beside him, their innocent faces showing a worried expression.

He smiled at the two little guys and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Roddy didn’t say anything, just looked at him, his little face not as angry as yesterday, but with a hint of sympathy.

Essie reached out her little hand and wiped the corner of his eye, saying, “Daddy, why are you crying?”

He was startled and raised his hand to touch; his fingertips did touch something wet indeed.

Is it? How did he cry? Last night he dreamed of something beautiful, why did he still cry? He couldn’t explain the reason; he just felt a heavy pain in his heart.

Essie was a little worried and asked, “Dad, are you okay?”

Reynaldo shook his head, patted the little one’s head and said with a smile, “Daddy is fine.”

Last night, after preparing milk powder for these two little guys, their hostility towards him clearly disappeared.

Roddy looked at him and said awkwardly, “Seeing you look so pitiful, we won’t dislike you anymore."

“However, if you dare to bully my mom in the future, I will still beat you up.”
