Chapter 802

Essie nodded. “I’m not talking about Johnathan, I’m talking about that ‘uncle’ who told you to follow him.”

Essie and Roddy exchanged a glance.

Roddy said, “He showed us a photo of him with his mom, and I thought he looks a bit like her.”

Essie continued, “Hmm, he said he is an uncle, and we also asked people from dad’s side, and they also said he is an uncle. And my uncle even cried when he saw us, looking so pitiful."

“Then… then he said he would take us to see photos of Mommy when she was young, and we… we followed him.”

Roddy looked at me in confusion and asked, “Mommy, is he really my uncle?”

Actually, I really didn’t know how to answer this question. I touched his head and said, “It used to be, but not anymore. You will understand when you grow up.”

“In short, you must promise Mommy that you can’t just go with anyone casually in the future. If you get lost, where should Mommy find you?”

Essie quickly hugged me and said, “Mommy, Essie will never go anywhere in the future, just stay by mommy’s side.”

Roddy nodded in agreement, “Me too.”

I hugged them with a smile, and the knot in my heart finally loosened a bit.

That night, Vonnie called me and said, “she wasn’t coming back.”

On the phone, she was huffing and puffing, and I was about to ask her what had happened. She seemed very busy and it was really noisy over there. She said to me, “Let’s talk later,” and then quickly hung up the phone.

Not long after her phone hung up, Anton’s phone rang again.

Anton’s tone was a bit urgent, “Esmeralda, why did you suddenly return to Freybourne?”

Yes, I hurried back to Freybourne with Vonnie and forgot to tell Anton.

“Did Reynaldo do anything to you when you went back?”

When he asked me this, I remembered the passionate encounter I had with Reynaldo that afternoon. I pursed my lips and said, “He didn’t do anything to me, and he said he wouldn’t kick me out of Freybourne again.”

“Did he forgive you then?”

“Forgiveness” sounds really ironic. I didn’t do anything wrong at all, what do I need forgiveness for?

I said lightly, “No, he still hates me.”

Anton fell silent for a moment and said, “Where are you staying now? I booked a flight to Freybourne early tomorrow morning.”

Vonnie’s role had been finalized, and I had a lot of things to discuss with her. I finished listening and immediately sent him an address.

The head was aching in waves, and I couldn’t open my eyes. I didn’t chat much with Anton, hung up the phone, and fell into a deep sleep.

Waking up again, I felt a small hand touching my forehead. Next, there were two little ones with worried voices.

Essie, “Mom seems to have a fever, what should we do?”

Roddy called Vonnie with Mommy’s phone and asked Vonnie to come back quickly. After Roddy finished speaking, the sound of dialing could be heard in the room. The little guy just called Vonnie several times, but no one answered.

Essie said, “Vonnie might be busy, why not give Johnathan a call?”

Then there was another dial tone, but Johnathan also did not answer the phone.

Essie was anxious, “What should we do, Roddy, Anton is not here again.”

Roddy seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said, “How about I call Dad? Although Dad is always grumpy, but Mom is sick now, he shouldn’t ignore Mom, right?”
