Chapter 843

But I had to find a house as soon as possible. I couldn’t wait for her anymore. She told me before that the house had to be found with me; she wanted to find her dream house, and she also wanted to personally design and supervise the decoration. It seems now that it was too late. As for her dream bedroom, she went to pick it out with Johnathan.

The next morning, I contacted the real estate agency. I had arranged to meet the agent at ten in the morning. When I was leaving, Anton said he wanted to accompany me, but I declined. I don’t know what’s wrong with me now. The more Anton is nice to me, the more attentive he is, the more complicated my heart becomes, the more I want to escape—from him.

I took Essie and Roddy with me to look at the house, to get their opinions. I just didn’t expect to run into Reynaldo at the sales center.

At first, I didn’t see Reynaldo. I was listening to the sales consultant explain the layout of the house and the surrounding planning. Essie suddenly shouted “Daddy,” then let go of my hand and ran off. I quickly looked over and saw Reynaldo in the lobby.

What? Is he also coming to buy a house?

Reynaldo saw Essie, and immediately a smile appeared on his usually cold face. He bent down, opened his arms, and lifted Essie up in one go. Roddy also approached, grabbing Reynaldo’s sleeve, and eagerly asked, “Dad, what are you doing here too?” Reynaldo touched his head and then looked up at me. He showed a gentle smile to the child, but his face darkened when he looked at me. Well, it was beyond my expectations that he could like these two children so much.

I walked over to him and asked, “Are you here to buy a house too?”

Without waiting for him to speak, a man in a suit with a leather collar beside him said, “You don’t know yet, this area is all developed by Mr. Humphrey.” He paused, looked at me, then at the child in Reynaldo’s arms, and suddenly had a look of realization, saying, “No wonder Mr. Humphrey kept asking me if there was a kindergarten nearby, and even said he wanted to find a house with a better floor and lighting. So this house was actually meant for you guys.”

Seeming to think he talked too much, Reynaldo gave him a cold glance. Just one glance carried a strong sense of oppression, and the man immediately dared not say much more.

Roddy suddenly asked him, “Is there a kindergarten around here? Essie and I are about to start kindergarten soon.”

“Some do,” the man quickly added. “There is a kindergarten in the community, so it will be very convenient for you to go to school.” After the man finished speaking, he looked at me as if he still wanted to say a few more words to sell his point.

Reynaldo suddenly said to him, “You go be busy first.”

The man nodded busily and said, “Okay, Mr. Humphrey, you can call me if you need anything.”

After the man left, Reynaldo stared at me with his black eyes. He opened his mouth, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, “Are you willing to move out from Anton’s place?”

I was feeling a bit down. Why did he have to ask in such a tone that sounded so harsh? I said lightly, “These two children are about to start kindergarten soon; living with Anton has always been inconvenient.”

“Ah!”
