Chapter 295

I opened the window slightly, letting the cold wind in. My head cleared a little. After a long silence, I said, “Actually, you don’t need to speak well of him to me. I know very well how he feels about Kimberly.”

“Oh?” Johnathan laughed. “Then you tell me.”

“Kimberly was the moonlight in his heart. Even though he didn’t touch her, it was because, in his eyes, she was different from me. Kimberly was pure and beautiful. He naturally wanted to stay with her on their wedding night.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Johnathan slammed on the brakes. I leaned forward, frowning. “What are you doing?” I asked.

Johnathan chuckled. “No, no… I was just startled by what you said.”

“Ah, Esmie, you really have quite an imagination.”

“Did I say something wrong?”

“Anyway, your idea is definitely wrong. Just wait and see; Reynaldo will not marry Kimberly. Since they won’t get married, where does the wedding night come from?”

Johnathan said this with particular certainty. No matter how certain he was, it could not represent Reynaldo’s most genuine thoughts.

Chapter 795

Everyone was different; he was not Reynaldo. Therefore, all his thoughts could not represent Reynaldo.

I smiled and said, “You really don’t need to comfort me, actually…”

“I didn’t comfort you; I was telling the truth. He definitely won’t marry Kimberly, because he…”

Halfway through his sentence, he stopped abruptly. I frowned and asked insistently, “Because of what?”

Johnathan exclaimed, “I can’t say this; he doesn’t allow me to. Forget it, Esmie, don’t ask anymore. Just believe me.”

I turned my head to look out the window. Believe his words? He was Reynaldo’s man; I couldn’t believe it!

The dinner party was arranged at the Malgrave Hotel. The hotel was not far, about ten kilometers away, but due to traffic, it took half an hour to get there. When we arrived, it was half past six, and no one had yet come to the private room.

Johnathan let me sit wherever I wanted. He called Reynaldo again and then said to me, “Reynaldo is on his way.”

I nodded. He furrowed his brow again and said, “I just heard Kimberly’s voice on the phone. Did Reynaldo bring her here?”

I didn’t make a sound. Even thinking with her toes, one could guess that Kimberly must have insisted on following, and Reynaldo, to protect her, refused. Then she cried. So, on the first call she made to him outside the hotel, Johnathan heard her crying in distress. In the end, Reynaldo couldn’t bear to see her tears, so he brought her over.

Matthew was the client, presumably a significant one. Johnathan told me that if I got hungry, I could go out and grab something to eat. I shook my head and sat still. He kept checking the time; it was obvious he valued this deal.

However, it was known that he was the young master of the Dunlap family, also well-known in Freybourne and considerably wealthy. How could he possibly be in business with Reynaldo?

Thinking to myself, I blurted out, “How come you’re doing business with Reynaldo? Doesn’t your family have their own industry?”

“My father had an illegitimate child, and that inheritance was not left to me.” He spoke lightly, as if discussing someone else’s affairs. But I thought to myself, he must be feeling uncomfortable, so I didn’t ask any more.
