Chapter 803
I got a little anxious when I heard the little guy was going to call Reynaldo. I didn’t want Reynaldo to see me in this weak state, lest he think I was pretending to be weak. I struggled to prop myself up and weakly smiled at the two little ones, saying, “Mommy is fine, Mommy just needs to rest for a while; be good, give Mommy the phone.”
Roddy handed me the phone as soon as he finished listening. I just took the phone and found that Roddy had already dialed the number, and he dialed Reynaldo’s number. No, how did they know Reynaldo’s number? It’s really strange!
The phone rang cheerfully, and I was about to press the button to end the call when the other party unexpectedly answered right away.
“What’s the matter?” the man asked in a low, tense voice.
My heart trembled inexplicably. Pretending to be calm, I said, “It’s nothing, just dialed the wrong number.” After saying that, I hung up the phone.
Reynaldo didn’t call back soon. I furrowed my brow, staring at the name on my phone that hadn’t been very active for the past four years, feeling complicated. He didn’t hate me to death, why did he call back?
Roddy urged me, “Mommy, it’s Daddy’s phone, answer it.”
In a moment of hesitation, Reynaldo had already dialed for the third time. This persistence, it’s like if I don’t pick up, he will keep calling. I rubbed my almost exploding head and answered the call.
The man chuckled nonchalantly and said, “In broad daylight, would you randomly dial the wrong number? Come on, what’s up?” The last sentence was asked coldly and indifferently.
I suppressed the flames surging in my heart and said lightly, “I just dialed the wrong number by accident, believe it or not.” After saying that, I hung up the phone again.
He didn’t call again this time. I leaned on the bed, my head aching terribly, and my eyes were also very swollen. The two little guys looked at me anxiously, and Roddy even brought me a glass of water. Essie held my hand, with big eyes full of fear and worry. Essie was a miniature version of Reynaldo, her cute and adorable appearance always reminded me of Reynaldo’s serious expression. Two extreme dissonances sometimes really make me laugh and cry.
“Mummy…” Essie pressed my hand against her face, almost in tears with worry.
I touched her head and said softly, “I’m fine. I’ll just buy some medicine on my phone. By the way, what do you want for breakfast? I’ll order for you.”
The two little guys didn’t say a word. I ordered two hamburgers for them on my phone, and then I ordered two cups of juice. They followed me and especially liked to eat “beef hamburger.” After finishing breakfast, I bought some medicine on my phone.
Roddy stared at me, as if he had something on his mind. I got up and washed my face, then asked him, “What’s wrong?”
“Mom, you were sick, why didn’t you let Dad take care of you?”
I smiled and said, “I just had a fever, I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”
Roddy pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, “Mommy, do you really hate Daddy?”
I was taken aback, really not sure how to answer this question. As for my relationship with Reynaldo, I don’t know how to explain it to these two little guys. Adults’ grudges, they simply won’t understand. But blood is thicker than water; even if Reynaldo was harsh to them that night, they would still love Reynaldo as their father.
