Chapter 549

“You know her personality well; she just loves to say some harsh words, so you shouldn’t argue with her.”

Quentin’s angry expression softened slightly, and his gaze shifted toward my hand.

I turned my back to him and said expressionlessly, “I wasn’t just talking nonsense. I don’t like her when she acts like this.”

“Esmeralda!”

Quentin’s anger rose again, and he growled at me, “How did I not notice before that you are so unreasonable, so petty? No wonder Reynaldo doesn’t like you and wants to divorce you.”

It was as if I had touched a sore spot, and my heart suddenly stung.

My mother glanced at me and quickly pushed Quentin, saying, “What are you talking about? Apologize to Ralda quickly. Who said Reynaldo doesn’t like Ralda anymore? He likes Ralda the most.”

I self-deprecatingly tugged at my lips, feeling a bit sore around my nose and eye sockets.

Quentin looked at me, his lips twitching as if he wanted to apologize.

He opened his mouth, about to speak, when suddenly my phone rang.

I took a glance and saw that it was Kimberly calling.

I said indifferently to Quentin, “There’s nothing more to say; I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

Quentin frowned and said coldly, “What’s gotten into you again? I apologized to you, that’s all.”

“No need!”

I snorted coldly and looked at my mom, “You go ahead and eat. I’ll go out for a bit and be back soon.”

“Ralda, where are you going? Quentin didn’t mean it either. Don’t argue over such a small matter. I feel…”

“I really have something to do,” I didn’t look at Quentin, just comforted my mom, “You go ahead and eat, the food will get cold. I’ll go to the mall we just visited and be back soon.”

My mother looked at me, wanting to say something, but in the end, she just sighed.

I patted her hand and then turned around and left.

When I left the house, I could still hear my mom scolding Quentin, “Ralda’s temper is just a little impatient and straightforward; you really shouldn’t have said that to her just now.”

“It’s not because she said that first about Kimora; I explained to her that Kimora couldn’t come because of something, it wasn’t intentional.”

I sarcastically pursed my lips.

It seems that Quentin is also a romantic at heart.

The first time he stood me up was forgivable, but after doing it several times, wouldn’t he find it strange?

Moreover, this time it was to see my mom, to see her future mother-in-law, and it was also the weekend today. If she still didn’t come, didn’t he think that the attitude of the girl he liked was a problem?

That being said, at first Ralda was also looking forward to meeting her and respected her.

The gift was chosen by Ralda herself, and most of the food was also prepared by Ralda.

To this extent, we can also see Ralda’s sincerity, but what about that girl’s sincerity? We did not see it.

“So Quentin, you really shouldn’t have said that to Ralda just now.”

“Okay mom, you don’t need to speak well of Ralda anymore; she was just spoiled by you.

After getting to know Kimora, I realized how bad her temper was.

I was her brother, and I always tolerated her little temper. But with that temper of hers, no man could stand it.”

I lowered my head self-deprecatingly.

Even Quentin started to despise me.

I started to doubt whether I was really as annoying as he said.

My mother has always been protecting me.
