Chapter 1312

Reynaldo’s so-called gift should be the head of that Tibetan Mastiff.

This time Matthew must have gone crazy. Without turning on the speakerphone, I could faintly hear him roaring on the other end of the phone.

Reynaldo lowered his gaze, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He chuckled and said casually, “Oh really? It seems Mr. Galatea is quite fond of that little creature. How about I take Mr. Galatea to keep that little creature company?”

That’s how seemingly gentle words were wrapped in a touch of chilling fear.

I stared blankly at the curve of his lips, feeling that Reynaldo had seemed a bit unfamiliar these past two days.

I don’t know what Matthew said over there.

Reynaldo’s gaze darkened once again.

“Matthew, if you still consider yourself a man, then come at me. He only knows how to play dirty tricks and scheme against my woman. What kind of hero is he?”

“Is that so?” The man’s eyes quickly filled with hostility again. “If you dare to touch her, I will tear you into a thousand pieces!”

The moment I saw his furious look, I knew that Matthew must have been provoking him again.

I hugged his waist and snuggled in his arms.

Reynaldo’s tense nerves seemed to relax slightly.

He lowered his gaze and looked at me, his brows furrowed tightly.

The call was still ongoing, and Matthew seemed to be provoking Reynaldo on the other end of the line.

I directly hung up the call with my hand.

I said to Reynaldo, “Don’t be angry, I have always been by your side, he can’t hurt me."

“Why did you still answer his phone call?”

Reynaldo asked me in a low voice, but his expression was clearly still suppressing anger.

I held his hand and explained to him, “I never thought about answering his call, but he kept calling, and he sent me a message. You’ll understand when you see it.”

Reynaldo listened and then clicked open the message.

The next second, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and he said in a deep voice, “He was deceiving you.”

“Hmm?”

Reynaldo personally blocked Matthew’s number, then put my phone back in my pocket, patted my shoulder, and said to me seriously, “Matthew is cunning. He knows you are worried about me and afraid of me getting hurt, so he deliberately sent such a message to deceive you into answering his call. Once you answered his call, he would always scare you by using the safety of the people you care about, and lure you to follow him. Matthew was really cunning and deceitful. Esmeralda, can you promise me that next time, no matter what he says, you won’t pay any attention to him?”

“Can you… tell me, what was your specific plan to deal with Matthew and Moshe?”

Reynaldo looked surprised. He pursed his lips and said, “Actually, there was no plan, just using what they wanted to lure them out, and then capturing them all at once.”

Is it really so?

If the plan was so simple, why did he have to go to such lengths to hide it from me?

Seeing that I didn’t speak for a while, he became visibly anxious, and the hand on my shoulder tightened slightly.

“Esmeralda, you promised me not to pay attention to him anymore, let me deal with him. Will you stay at home obediently and not go anywhere, okay?”

He said, then suddenly pulled me into his arms with force, his low voice tinged with a hint of tension, “I’m really afraid… afraid that you will leave with him to solve the current dilemma.”
