Chapter 553

I closed my eyes slightly and turned around, ready to leave. But the moment I turned, I was stunned. Anton was standing right at the entrance of the coffee shop. He stared at me quietly, with a dark and unclear expression.

I didn’t say anything, lowered my head, and walked out of the coffee shop. Anton quickly caught up. He didn’t say anything, just followed behind me out of the mall.

I stopped in my tracks, turned around and smiled at him. “I just bullied your sister. Do you want to settle the score with me?”

Anton frowned, looking a bit unwell. I pursed my lips. Kimberly was really happy, being pampered by Reynaldo as her fake brother and protected by Anton as her real brother.

I stared at him expressionlessly and said, “You don’t have to look at me like that. If you want to seek justice for Kimberly, then bring it on. In any case, if she dares to harm my family, even if she is your own sister, I will not show her any mercy.”

Anton sighed at me. “Do you really dislike her that much?”

“It’s not about liking or disliking.”

“If you didn’t hate her, why would you misunderstand that she wanted to harm your family? Her mind may be a bit sharp, but her heart is not bad, and can even be said to be very kind. When she was young, she wouldn’t even dare to step on an ant. If the cats or dogs at home died, she would be sad for a whole year. Perhaps because she was spoiled since childhood, she became a bit delicate, but she definitely did not have any malicious intentions.”

I chuckled immediately. It is said that the woman acted well, deceiving both him and Reynaldo. Was it that he and Reynaldo were both blind?

I said coldly, “No matter what kind of filter you have for her, in my eyes, she is just a cunning and malicious woman. If you want to protect her, then go ahead and protect her, but don’t say anything about her kindness in front of me. Her kindness, or lack thereof, is not my concern. All I know is, she wanted to harm my family!”

“Esmeralda…” Anton stared at me with deep eyes. “Just because she competed with you for Reynaldo, do you have to look at her like this? Isn’t it Reynaldo’s fault for wavering between you and her?”

I watched Anton quietly.

He was really a good brother, doing his best to speak well of Kimberly and helping her find excuses. Talking to him more was useless, so I turned around and tried to leave.

He suddenly grabbed me, twisting my shoulder, and said urgently, “What’s so good about Reynaldo? He’s still indecisive. Besides hurting you, what else can he do? Esmeralda, come with me, leave here with me. When you remember our past, you will realize that you have always loved me.”

“You let go of me, Anton…” I struggled instinctively. However, Anton not only did not let go of me, but instead pulled me into his arms.

He held me tightly and said sadly, “These two days, I didn’t plan to talk to you, but I found out that I couldn’t stay mad at you at all. Just two days later, I couldn’t help but come to see you. Esmeralda, will you come with me?”

Anton’s hug almost suffocated me, and I struggled to tell him to let go of me. But he just wouldn’t listen. And just as I was entangled with him, a brute force suddenly pulled me apart from him.
