Chapter 820
Vonnie leaned in closer to me and asked in a low voice, โUm, youโve been back for two or three days now, and youโve seen Reynaldo, so, did you guysโฆ you know?โ
I knew what Vonnie meant; it was just a little hard to say.
Vonnie glanced at me and touched her nose, saying, โUm, just a reminder, Essieโs illness cannot be left untreated. On one hand, we have to deal with Kimberly, but it is also imperative that you have a third child with Reynaldo.โ
โI know.โ
I sullenly took two bites of the hamburger, only hoping in my heart that the reunion with him on that day would be successful; otherwise, I would have to rack my brains again for this third pregnancy.
Vonnie went to the kitchen and grabbed two slices of toast. Like me, she leaned against the kitchen doorway, biting into one slice while observing the situation with Anton and Reynaldo.
At that moment, Roddy also sat next to Anton, and Essie was chatting and laughing with Anton, showing a very loving interaction.
Looking at Reynaldo again, his face was full of resentment; the gloom all over his body was almost spreading over here.
Vonnie choked on her toast, so she quickly went to the kitchen and poured two glasses of juice, handing one to me. She took a big sip, looked over at Reynaldo, and said to me vaguely, โIs he jealous that Anton is holding Essie?โ
โGod knows; he probably has some kind of illness.โ
After some time had passed, Reynaldo suddenly raised his hand to check his watch.
Hey, great, this man was in a hurry; he should be leaving soon.
Reynaldo was really sick in the head, and he came over just to give us a cold look. He was really idle.
I was thinking disdainfully in my heart when I heard Reynaldo say to Roddy and Essie, โThe amusement park is now open; Dad will take you to the amusement park to play.โ
When they heard they were going to the amusement park, both childrenโs eyes lit up.
Roddy approached him directly and asked eagerly, โReally?โ
It was as if finally a child was willing to get close to him; Reynaldoโs eyebrows were rarely touched by a smile.
He patted Roddyโs head and said, โOf course, Daddy is not doing anything today; he is just playing with you guys.โ
He finished speaking and then looked at Essie.
Essie also had expectations on his face, but she was still a little hesitant towards this daddy.
She tugged at Antonโs sleeve and whispered, โIf Anton goes, Essie will go too. Essie wants to go with Anton.โ
The smile at the corner of Reynaldoโs eyes visibly disappeared.
Vonnie chuckled beside me and whispered, โIt seems like Reynaldo came today just to please his little darling, but Essie is not buying it. Look how angry he is.โ
Reynaldoโs face darkened for a moment but quickly returned to normal.
He took a sip of tea from the low table and said to Essie in a warm tone, โAnton is still busy with work and doesnโt have time to join us.โ
Anton dressed very casually today, wearing light gray sportswear and a pair of glasses.
He straightened the small hair bun on Essieโs head and said calmly, โI donโt have much to do today, very leisurely. If Essie wants to go to the amusement park, I can accompany her, so Mr. Humphrey doesnโt need to worry.โ
โReally? Anton, are you really taking me to the amusement park today?โ Essie was overjoyed, looking at Anton with anticipation all over her face.
Anton scratched her little nose and said, โOf course, I love Essie the most.โ
โI also like Anton the most,โ Essie said, with his chubby hand around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek.
In an instant, a chill came rushing from Reynaldoโs direction.
Vonnie touched her nose and whispered to me, โLook at how scary Reynaldoโs expression is; he canโt even please his own daughter and canโt stand seeing her like someone else. Itโs really unbelievable.โ
I glanced at Reynaldo.
Reynaldoโs hand, placed on his knee, clenched and then relaxed a few seconds later.
He suddenly laughed and said to Anton, โAre you sure youโre not busy today?โ
Anton chuckled and said, โI know my schedule best. These two children want to go to the amusement park, so I will take them. Itโs not the first time, anyway. As for Mr. Humphrey, you were busy all day, so when you have some free time, you should take a good rest.โ
โAh!โ
Reynaldo gave a cold snort and casually said, โIf I must say, Mr. Palmer, you were quite busy today, werenโt you?โ
As soon as Reynaldo finished speaking, there was a sound of brakes in the yard.
