Chapter 562

With that in mind, I smiled faintly at him and said, “So three years ago, you really shouldn’t have married me. You should have followed the wishes of your mother and the late Mr. Palmer, and been with Kimberly. Then there wouldn’t have been so much trouble now.”

“Esmeralda!”

Reynaldo suddenly growled low, glaring at me with red eyes.

But I don’t think I said anything wrong. Originally, he and Kimberly were in love with each other, and both sets of parents were very eager for them to be together. So, in this way, I appeared to be a mistress who was breaking them up. I also understood that the purpose of Mikaela calling me today was to persuade me to divorce Reynaldo in order to make room for Kimberly.

Actually, about this marriage, I also wanted to completely resolve it. All these stumbling blocks and endless entanglements really didn’t make any sense. I looked at Reynaldo and calmly said, “Ask yourself, who is the person in your heart? If it was Kimberly, then let’s go get the divorce certificate today.”

“Esmeralda!”

He growled my name again, looking full of grievances and with red eyes, as if he was about to cry.

At that moment, I was quite shocked in my heart. He, Reynaldo, actually felt like crying because of a word I said. Seeing his appearance, my attitude couldn’t harden again for a while. I said lightly, “You better think it through first. I hope you can give me an answer before you get off work at the courthouse today.”

“Why don’t you ever believe me?”

I had just opened the car door when his voice suddenly came from behind. The voice was very soft, with a touch of indescribable sadness and grievance.

I was not afraid of his coldness, not afraid of his toughness, just afraid of his appearance of being hurt by me. I tightened the doorknob and turned around to look at him. He stared at me heavily, his eye sockets even redder than before.

“I said, Kimberly is just my sister, why don’t you believe me?”

“But you always protect Kimberly, always choose Kimberly over me, how can I trust you anymore? I’m not a fool. I can tell who you care about more."

“You are a fool!” Reynaldo growled low, his voice filled with bitterness. “Why do I always protect her, why do I always leave you for her, don’t you feel the reason?”

I was confused. “Isn’t the reason that you care more about her?”

Reynaldo took a deep breath in anger, but he did not vent it. Instead, in a deep voice, he said to me word by word, “The main reason I sided with her in front of you was to see if you would be jealous.”

A sentence was like a bolt from the blue, leaving me completely stunned. I twitched my lips and couldn’t help but say, “Are you sick?”

I really don’t know how to describe this man. I have never seen a man test whether a woman will be jealous for him by favoring another woman in front of that woman. This stupid method really didn’t produce any results, and it just made people angry first. It has to be said that, although Reynaldo is decisive and highly intelligent in the business world, his emotional intelligence is really low.

“Yes, I was sick. Not only was I sick, but I was also very sick!”

I called him crazy, but instead of getting angry, he actually agreed with me. He did this, and I was completely confused.
