Chapter 924

It's strange. Last night, when I fell, it didn’t hurt this much, but today it’s getting more and more painful; I can’t even touch it.

Essie looked at me with a worried expression and asked, “Mommy, what’s wrong? Are you in pain?”

I smiled and shook my head at her. “No, just Mommy almost got knocked over by you.”

“Ah?” Essie’s eyes widened, surprised. “Then I’ll gently rush into Mommy’s arms in the future.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Kids say the darndest things.”

I walked to the car with the two children.

Roddy suddenly asked, “Mommy, why are you picking us up again today? Where’s Daddy?”

I was taken aback. “Wasn’t it your mom who was supposed to pick you up today?”

The two children glanced at each other. Then she shook her head at me and said, “No, there isn’t.”

Um.

Reynaldo was also strange. He didn’t have time to pick up the kids, so why lie to me and say the children wanted me to pick them up?

As I was about to start the car, my phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Gilbert. He had already set the dinner time at six o’clock and then sent me an address. At six o’clock, after I had dropped off the children, I rushed to the restaurant, and the timing was just right.

Just as I returned to the villa and walked in with the two kids in tow, I saw Reynaldo sitting in a prominent position on the living room sofa.

It turns out he had a lot of free time today, so why did he still lie to me about picking up the babies?

“Daddy!”

The two little ones saw him and ran happily toward him. Reynaldo placed the magazine in his hand on the coffee table, opened his arms, and embraced the two little ones, a rare touch of tenderness flashing in his eyes. He touched the heads of the two little ones and said gently, “Go wash your hands; we will have dinner later.”

“Hmm.”

The two little ones were very obedient. They put down their school bags and went to the bathroom one after the other.

The child was brought back, and I had to go to the restaurant. I looked at the time, and there were forty minutes left until six o’clock.

When I was about to turn around and leave, Reynaldo suddenly called out to me, his voice not as cold and indifferent as before, but also not very warm.

He said, “The meal at home is almost ready. Where are you going again?”

What? This man has amnesia?

I turned around and smiled at him, saying, “Mr. Humphrey, you forgot that Mr. Russell invited me to dinner. I have to hurry over there now.”

Reynaldo’s face visibly darkened. “So, you had to go to his dinner, didn’t you?”

I shrugged and laughed at him, saying, “Why not? Mr. Russell invited me to dinner because of work. Why wouldn’t I go?”

Reynaldo suddenly sneered, “If it’s for work, then why only invite you?”

“How would I know?” I rolled my eyes at him and huffed, “If you want to know the reason, then go ask him yourself.”

Reynaldo looked as if I had angered him again, glaring at me fiercely with a cold and stern expression. I could really see his expression clearly.

I ignored him and walked away.

Madisyn suddenly called out to me again. She came out of the kitchen with a dish in her hand and smiled at me, saying, “Ms. Duffy, today Mr. Humphrey specially bought a lot of ingredients you love, and many dishes were personally made by Mr. Humphrey. Come and have a taste.”
