Chapter 842
A few minutes after Vonnie left, Reynaldo’s phone suddenly rang again.
I stared at the jumping names on the phone screen for several seconds before answering the call. Strange, wasn’t Reynaldo ignoring me? Why did he suddenly call?
The phone was answered, and a calm male voice came through on the other end, “Are you at the hospital?”
I was taken aback. Johnathan had just hung up on Vonnie and called Reynaldo right away?
I shook my head and laughed, “Johnathan really is a big mouth.”
“Are you in the hospital? What’s wrong?”
In a daze, Reynaldo’s cold voice suddenly came again, the last sentence with a hint of tension.
I glanced at Essie and said calmly, “No, I wasn’t in the hospital.”
The man seemed to let out a sigh and then said lightly, “It’s okay.”
He was about to hang up after he finished speaking, but I quickly shouted, “Wait, don’t hang up yet.”
The man was silent for a few seconds and asked, “Is there anything else?”
“Um, is your shoulder injury better now?”
“This is not the issue that the son wants to care about, right? What are you asking?” Reynaldo said casually, with a cold tone.
I didn’t know how to answer for a moment. How come I cared about his injury, and he still looked very angry?
“There’s nothing else, I hung up.”
Reynaldo said lightly and then really hung up the phone.
Watching the phone screen dim, I leaned back on the chair and sighed helplessly.
Compared to Johnathan, Reynaldo was really difficult to get along with. With his attitude, I really couldn’t bring myself to mention the fact that he was expecting a third child.
Essie was discharged from the hospital after staying for two days. The day Roddy was discharged from the hospital, Anton came to pick him up in person.
The man always had a gentle smile on his face, and he was especially attentive to both me and Essie. As soon as we got back to the villa, he asked me to go eat first, while he busied himself taking care of Essie. He spooned a bowl of oatmeal and fed Essie bite by bite, his gentle and patient demeanor making my mood somewhat complicated.
Anyway, I still had to move out with the children as soon as possible.
Anton suddenly glanced at me and said, “Vonnie’s role has been completely finalized now, and the poster has been sent out.”
“Oh?” I asked with a faint smile, “What role did you assign to her?”
Anton was silent for two seconds and then said, “The second female lead.”
“So, Kimberly is the first girl, right?” I double-checked.
Anton nodded and looked at me apologetically, “There was no way around it. That day, during the last-minute meeting, the investors suddenly unanimously decided to have Kimberly play the leading lady role, and Quentin, as the producer, also changed his mind and chose Kimberly as the leading lady.”
The only thing I could get for Vonnie was the role of the second female lead, so, I’m sorry, Esmeralda.
I smiled and said, “No need to apologize, I actually prefer Vonnie to play the second female lead, really.”
Anton slightly furrowed his brows, a hint of doubt flashing across his handsome face.
I smiled faintly and said, “If you read this script, you will understand my intention.”
Anton lowered his gaze and didn’t say anything more, just gently feeding Essie oatmeal.
For three days in a row, I didn’t see Vonnie again. I called her; she was with Johnathan. Finally, I was too embarrassed to call her again, so as not to affect her date with Johnathan.
