Chapter 575

I chuckled and said, “Ms. Palmer is really interesting. I didn’t even mention any names, but she somehow hit the nail on the head.”

“You…”

Kimberly was momentarily rendered speechless by me, her face turning pale with anger. She looked at Reynaldo with a grievance, but Reynaldo was busy lifting the food I brought and preparing to eat, without even looking at her. She looked at Mikaela again.

Mikaela snorted at me and said, “I really underestimated you.” After a pause, she turned to Kimberly and said, “Let’s go, I can’t stand seeing this woman.”

“Hmm.”

Kimberly reluctantly responded, then leaned over and handed the packed meal to Reynaldo.

Reynaldo glanced casually and said flatly, “I’ll just eat what Esmeralda brought.”

“This is what Mikaela and I personally went down to buy, specifically choosing the dishes you love to eat. Even if you don’t care about my face, you can’t ignore Mikaela’s face.”

“I couldn’t help but laugh,” I said, “Reynaldo and Ms. Versta are mother and son, what kind of face should be maintained between mother and son? Isn’t that something only outsiders should talk about? Ms. Palmer, your words really caused a rift between Reynaldo and Ms. Versta.”

“You shut up!” Kimberly finally couldn’t pretend anymore, glaring at me with a fierce look in her eyes.

Reynaldo furrowed his brow and unconsciously grasped my hand with his large hand. He said to Kimberly, “You take my mother back to the ward first.”

Reynaldo’s voice seemed to suddenly snap Kimberly back to reality. She was also a skilled actress, and once she started crying, the tears would just flow. “I’m sorry Reynaldo, I didn’t mean to yell at Ms. Duffy. I was just too anxious, I didn’t mean that, but Ms. Duffy misunderstood, I was just in a hurry, I…”

Reynaldo interrupted her gently, “I understand. I am a bit tired, you and my mom go back and rest first.”

Kimberly still wanted to say something when Mikaela suddenly shouted at her, “Kimberly, let’s go. Some people are just too powerful, you can’t fight them alone.”

I pursed my lips in frustration. This was said as if I and Reynaldo were teaming up to bully Kimberly.

Kimberly tearfully placed the packed meal on the bedside table and choked out to Reynaldo, “I’ll come see you again tomorrow.” With that, she pushed Mikaela and walked out, taking three steps back.

After they had all left, Reynaldo let out a heavy sigh and wearily leaned back against the headboard. I glanced at him and couldn’t help but joke, “Having too many peach blossoms is tiring, right? You have to consider this and coax that.”

Reynaldo gave me a look and said, “You always like to tease me?”

“Did I say something wrong?” I unwrapped the meal Kimberly packed and handed it to him, “Here, this is specially bought by Kimberly for you. You should eat it so she won’t cry again.”

Reynaldo frowned and glared at me, “Esmeralda, are you deliberately blocking me like this?”

I chuckled, “Kimberly said that the food I brought was all cold, and she also said that I didn’t need to bring you food because they would buy it for you. Come on, don’t eat mine, eat Kimberly’s, she bought all your favorite ones.”

Reynaldo looked at me with an expression of impatience and said, “Speak properly.”

“I was just telling you with a smile, come on, the meal Kimberly bought for you is so delicious,” I said, and then prepared to take away the meal I brought.

Little did he know, the man quickly dodged. He frowned at me and said, “Go away and don’t disturb me while I’m eating.”
