Chapter 306

Seeing Reynaldo ignore her, Kimberly pouted and said, “I waited for you with Mr. Galatea for half a day; that’s why I reminded you. After all, Mr. Galatea is a big client; making big clients wait is unreasonable.”

“Well, I know, so I will personally apologize to Mr. Galatea. There’s no need for you to deliberately stir up trouble.” I didn’t give her the satisfaction of a response; I directly confronted her.

Kimberly’s face turned pale, then green, as I scolded her. She kept looking at Reynaldo, but this time he didn’t help her. Wow, it seems this future baby is even more important to him than Kimberly; he can even ignore her grievances. Mockingly, I poured myself a cup of tea.

Then he looked at Matthew and said, “Sorry, Mr. Galatea, I can’t drink alcohol during this period, so I’ll have tea instead. Cheers to you.”

Matthew’s face was several shades darker than when Kimberly had refused a drink. He threw his wine glass on the table and laughed, “Playing with me, huh? If you don’t drink, what else do you want to talk about regarding this cooperation?”

To be honest, Matthew was angry. Although he smiled, his eyes were frightening, like a lion angered in the deep mountains. However, I had just told Reynaldo about planning a baby, so for our future child’s sake, he should protect me.

Johnathan tugged at my sleeve anxiously, whispering, “Esmie, what are you doing? You’re not someone who doesn’t drink, so why are you deliberately making things awkward?”

“Yes!” Kimberly chimed in, accusing me. However, she deliberately raised her voice, “Mr. Galatea chose to discuss business with us—which is rare. Can’t you just offer Mr. Galatea a drink? Why anger him on purpose? Are you trying to sabotage Reynaldo’s collaboration with Mr. Galatea?”

Kimberly spoke with great emphasis, full of indignation. Matthew sneered. I glanced at Reynaldo, then turned to Kimberly and said nonchalantly, “I didn’t mess up the deal with Mr. Humphrey; I’m trying to conceive and can’t drink alcohol.”

“Preparing… preparing for pregnancy?” Kimberly was so shocked she could barely speak, then reluctantly looked to Reynaldo. Johnathan’s gaze shifted between me and Reynaldo. I accepted the strange gazes without flinching.

If I hadn’t spoken to Reynaldo beforehand and confirmed his attitude, I wouldn’t have dared say such words in front of so many people.

Kimberly smiled strangely and asked, with a hint of unwillingness, “You… didn’t you already divorce Reynaldo? Why are you preparing for pregnancy again, and for whom?”

I smiled and said, “I’ve only had one man in my life, my ex-husband. Who do you think?”

Kimberly lightly bit her lip, looking at Reynaldo with a pitiful, tearful expression. I dare say it was Matthew’s presence that stopped her from feigning illness. If this were a hotel, she would definitely clutch her chest, crying to Reynaldo, “It hurts, Reynaldo, it hurts.” Hmm, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
