Chapter 957

I couldn’t stand this kind of oppression. I reached out and turned off the fire on the stove, then turned around, ready to go out.

His despondent murmur suddenly sounded behind me, with a hint of self-mockery: “Aren’t you happy being with Anton? Why come back?”

I stopped in my tracks, remembering the scene of him waiting for me at the kindergarten gate just now, feeling a slight pang in my heart. In the end, it was me who broke the appointment and also made him misunderstand.

“Anton was so important to you that you even forgot about the children’s parent-child activities when you were with him. I called you, and you didn’t even answer. Esmeralda, tell me, what were you and Anton doing at that time?”

By the end, Reynaldo’s voice had gained a hint of accusation. I frowned, “This man won’t mistakenly think I was having sex with Anton at that time.” After all, I had tried to flirt with him countless times these days without success, and then deliberately said a lot of provocative words about finding other men to stimulate him. So, he probably thought that I didn’t answer his call because I was doing that kind of indescribable thing with Anton.

Chapter 57 Oops, now the misunderstanding is even bigger! In the past, when I heard him say these words, I would feel very angry and wronged, thinking that he did not trust me enough, thinking that he was suspicious and prone to overthinking. Now let’s try to put ourselves in their shoes. If he also told me that he was dissatisfied and wanted to go find his beloved, and even spent the whole day with his beloved, I called him, but he didn’t answer. Then I also doubted whether he was doing that kind of thing with his beloved at that time.

Trust is something that needs to be slowly built up in a situation of mutual honesty. Now, thinking back, from beginning to end, it seems like I told him a lot of lies. False true, true false, who can tell the difference? I was too young before, with a big temper. Whenever he said something unpleasant, I would leave angrily. Now things are different. When something happens now, my first instinct is to explain it to him properly.

I turned around and threw myself into his arms. Reynaldo shuddered all over, lowered his head to look at me, and frowned even more tightly. I encircled his strong and slender waist, with my head resting on his chest, and said in a muffled voice, “Don’t jump to conclusions, just listen to me first.”

Chapter 957 And he seemed unable to bear me holding him like that. He tensed up for a moment, then grabbed the back of my collar and pulled me away forcefully. He glared at me, his tone as if wrapped in a ball of air, “If you want to speak, speak properly, don’t be like this!”

“I’m going to say it like this!” I broke free from his hand and threw myself into his arms again, “regardless of everything.” I wanted to learn the “never say die” attitude from Johnathan. He always used to coax Vonnie like this, and now look how well he has coaxed Vonnie. Of course, most importantly, I couldn’t stand Reynaldo’s gloomy and sullen look. He gave me a cold look, and I would easily say something angry.

“Esmeralda, let go of me!” Reynaldo growled with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, “Do you think that by doing this, I will forgive you for standing me up today? You can even forget about the children, what else can you remember?”
