Chapter 834
โMommy, this is for you to drink. You should feel better after drinking it.โ
I smiled and took the water. โThank you, Roddy. Did you buy this? Did you bring money?โ
โMmmโฆโ
Roddy initially nodded, but then glanced in Reynaldoโs direction.
Reynaldo was playing on the carousel with Essie, not looking our way, so Roddyโs little face slowly twisted.
I chuckled and pointed at his nose. โWhatโs wrong?โ
โMom, I have something to tell you. Donโt tell Dad, okay?โ
I took a sip of water and replied with a smile, โOkay.โ
Then Roddy mysteriously approached my ear and whispered, โThis bottle of water was bought by Dad, and he asked me to bring it to youโฆโ
I shuddered and instinctively looked toward Reynaldo, feeling a dense and tingling pain in my heart.
This man, he clearly hated me. Why did he still care about me?
He was always so contradictory; in the end, he only tortured himself.
Roddy held my hand and said, โDad said you got dizzy from that roller coaster, probably feeling both dizzy and nauseous. Drinking this will make you feel better.โ
โBut Dad told me not to tell you, and told me to say that I bought it for you. But I think Daddy is not right like this. Daddy is always grumpy and doesnโt admit to buying water for Mommy. How can Mommy still like him like this!โ Roddy almost said these words with a tone of โhating iron for not becoming steel.โ
Just as he finished speaking, Reynaldo called him from the carousel.
Roddy hurriedly said, โDad is calling me, so Iโll go first. Mommy, you rest a little longer.โ
โOkay.โ
I nodded and looked toward Reynaldoโs direction, but only saw his back.
That back was cold and lonely.
I lowered my head sadly. โHow nice it would be if there were no misunderstandings and hatred between him and me.โ
Reynaldo played many games with the children, and they had a great time. The smiles on their faces never disappeared.
By lunchtime, Reynaldo had planned to take them out to eat.
But both children said they hadnโt had enough fun and didnโt want to go.
Reynaldo had no choice but to continue playing with them.
By one-thirty in the afternoon, Reynaldo was really worried that they would starve, so he insisted on taking them out to eat.
But the two children still wanted to play and were reluctant to leave, so Reynaldo had no choice but to take them to have a simple meal in the shop at the amusement park.
I never used to think that Reynaldo would be a thoughtful and considerate person.
When I saw him busy pouring water for the children, rolling up their sleeves, laying out napkins, and carefully wiping away the crumbs from the corners of their mouths, I realized that he was actually quite attentive.
Basically, the children didnโt need me to manage; he was in charge the whole time.
After spending the morning together, Roddy clearly liked Reynaldo more, and even Essie was not as afraid of Reynaldo anymore, occasionally even smiling at him.
Just like that, without fear, Essie also willingly approached Reynaldo.
After finishing her food, she leaned over to Reynaldo, took his arm, and asked softly, โDaddy, didnโt you say you arranged a childrenโs program for Essie? When are we going to show Essie?โ
Essieโs proactive approach made Reynaldo very happy; even the light in his eyes softened.
