Chapter 848

Seeing Essie, my mood instantly improved.

"What's wrong?"

"No problem, it’s just Dad asking Essie if she wants to see Mommy, and if she wants to video call Mommy. Essie said yes, and then Dad video called Mommy."

"Oh…"

It sounded as if Reynaldo wanted to see me.

I didn’t think much. I smiled and asked Essie, "Was it fun at Dad’s? What about Roddy?"

"Roddy was assembling a model airplane, saying he would give it to you when you arrived. Essie also prepared a gift for Mommy. When is Mommy coming over?"

In the video, Essie looked at me expectantly with a small face.

I smiled at her and said, "Mommy has been a little busy these days. Can I pick you up after Mommy has prepared the new house for you?"

"Hmm… Alright then."

Essie pouted and looked unhappy, when suddenly Roddy seemed to be calling her.

She said, "Mommy, I won’t talk to you anymore, Roddy is calling me."

After Essie finished speaking, the video shook for a moment, and then, after a dozen seconds, the phone landed in Reynaldo’s hands.

Reynaldo still had that cold look on his face, and his tone was indifferent, "Just hang up if there’s nothing."

"Wait…" I hurriedly called out to him.

In the video, the man frowned slightly, looking somewhat impatient.

"What else is there? Are you coming over? Do you have a lot of luggage? Do you need someone to pick you up?"

I shook my head and said, "No, I didn’t go, but I want to tell you about Roddy and Essie’s sleeping habits."

Reynaldo took a deep breath and remained silent.

I hurriedly said, "Roddy and Essie both go to bed at nine o’clock at night, don’t let them stay up too late."

The man kept a straight face, not saying a word for a while, and it was unclear whether he was really listening.

I couldn’t help but remind him, "Did you hear what I just said?"

Reynaldo glanced at me and then said lightly, "Got it!"

"Also, they have to drink some milk powder before going to bed. Roddy drinks 300 milliliters, Essie drinks 200. Don’t get it wrong, the kind of milk powder they often drink, I will send it to your phone later. As for how to mix the milk powder, you can check on Google…"

"I know all of this without you telling me!" Reynaldo impatiently interrupted me before I could finish my sentence.

I pursed my lips, suppressed the frustration in my heart, and said, "Also, if you have time, please tell them two more stories. They like to hear stories before bedtime."

"Hmm."

"Roddy used to kick the blankets when he slept at night, so don’t sleep too soundly at night. If possible, you should help cover them with blankets."

"Hmm."

"Also, prepare two extra sweat towels. If they sweat while sleeping at night, you can cover them with the towels to prevent catching a cold."

"Um."

"And also…"

"Esmeralda, are you done yet? They are with me now, and I will naturally take care of them!"

"If you really don’t trust me, then come along to take care of them!"

I: …

Reynaldo’s tone was so annoying, as if I had to leave the child with him to take care of alone.

He insisted on taking the child away himself, why couldn’t I give a few more reminders?

Feeling depressed in my heart, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

Thinking that the property management said they would come to register the residents‘ information, I instinctively went to open the door.
