Reynaldo smiled, put his arm around me, and just looked at me without saying anything.

I stopped struggling and obediently leaned against his chest.

The feeling was really good, listening to each other’s heartbeat, very reassuring.

Thinking of Mikaela, I said to Reynaldo, “Your mom really doesn’t like me, what should I do?”

Bringing this up, Reynaldo also furrowed his brow.

“I never dared to bring you to see her before, just because of this reason. I originally wanted to first speak well of you in front of her, change her opinion of you, and then have you two meet. But obviously, the effect was not good. No matter how I told her about your goodness, she still had a deep prejudice against you.”

“Oh…”

I looked up and smiled at him, “So tell me what you think is good about me.”

It’s really rare that there is still a good side in this man’s heart.

Reynaldo tightened his arm around me and muttered, “I’m going to tell you something important.”

“Well, I was asking about serious matters too. Tell me, what do you like about me in your heart?”

I didn’t even know how to respond.

He hugged me tightly, resting his chin on the nape of my neck, and whispered softly to me, “You don’t need to worry about my mom, I’ll take care of everything. Also, you don’t have to endure being treated unfairly just because she is my mother in the future.”

“I didn’t get angry with your mother, I did get a lot of anger from Kimberly. And Kimberly has a delicate posture again, unable to be scolded or scolded. So, how do you think I should treat her?”

Reynaldo fell silent for a few seconds and said lightly, “Don’t worry about her.”

“What should I do if she insists on picking a fight with me?”

Reynaldo fell silent for another two seconds and said, “If she comes looking for trouble with you, just hit back.”

“Haha, this is what you said. When the time comes, she will be complaining about this pain and that pain again, acting as if I bullied her. Don’t blame me.”

“No way!” The man looked at me deeply, his tone firm.

I lowered my gaze, the corners of my lips unconsciously curling up, feeling full of happiness in my heart.

I held his hand and whispered. “I can’t completely rely on you to solve the problem of your mother hating me. Just relying on your words alone definitely couldn’t change her opinion of me, so what should I do as well?”

“Hmm?” Reynaldo stroked my hair and asked softly, “What do you want to do?”

“Hmm… I won’t tell you now. I’ll tell you when I succeed.”

“Okay,” the man smiled and looked at me with a gaze full of indulgence.

And at that moment, I felt like I was immersed in a honey jar, where everything was sweet.

I didn’t go back until late at night after staying with Reynaldo.

My mom was still not asleep.

When I entered the house, I deliberately took off my shoes and tiptoed towards the guest room. Unexpectedly, my mom suddenly came out of the bedroom.

“So late, I warmed up some midnight snack for you, eat it before going to bed,” my mom said as she walked towards the kitchen. When she came out, she had a steaming bowl of soup in her hand.

“It’s cold outside, you brought in the chill when you came back. Have some soup first to warm up.”

I looked at my mother’s dry eyes and asked with concern, “Why haven’t you slept yet?”

My mother sighed, looked at the dark night outside the window, and said, “I can’t fall asleep.”

I pursed my lips, feeling uncomfortable in my heart.
