Chapter 906

I called Quentin, but no one answered. I called my mom, and she said she couldn’t come back temporarily and asked me to drink some hot water. After hanging up, I curled up on the sofa and cried.

At that moment, Reynaldo suddenly appeared. He stood by the sofa, looking at me expressionlessly.

“What’s wrong with you?”

I already disliked him, and feeling uncomfortable all over only made him more unpleasant. So I told him to “get lost.”

He didn’t move, stared at me for a long time before turning around and leaving. I thought he’d been driven away by my scolding, but to my surprise, he came back after a while and handed me a cup of steaming ginger tea.

I looked at him in astonishment. He said, still without any expression, “I checked and found out that drinking ginger tea during menstruation can relieve menstrual cramps.”

Upon hearing the words “menstrual pain,” I felt a bit embarrassed. But for the sake of the ginger tea, I managed to hold back the urge to curse at him.

Chapter 06

After I took the ginger tea, he didn’t say anything and left. I was annoyed when I saw him, so when he left, I didn’t care. After drinking the ginger tea, my stomach slowly stopped hurting so much. I went upstairs to change out of my dirty pants, only to find that the sanitary napkin was missing.

While I was in the bathroom feeling troubled, he suddenly appeared again, standing outside the restroom door, and said to me, “I bought both the daytime and nighttime ones, and left them at the door.”

I was stunned for a moment and thought, “What can be used during the day and at night?”

When I carefully opened the bathroom door, I found several packs of sanitary pads placed at the entrance. I raised my head in astonishment, but only saw his back as he walked away.

Perhaps from that time, my feelings toward him started to change a little. Scenes from the past suddenly became particularly clear at this moment—the once annoying Reynaldo and the tedious married life that used to bother me now all seemed especially precious. I wish I could go back to that time, but it’s impossible now.

As I was reminiscing about the past and feeling sad, hurried footsteps came from behind. I instinctively turned around and saw Reynaldo walking quickly into the room, his face filled with anxiety. He probably didn’t expect to see me here. When he saw me, he was stunned for two seconds, then quickly walked up to me and grabbed my hand.

“Who asked you to pick up the children? Where did you hide them all?”

I furrowed my brows and was about to speak.

He suddenly said to me in a cold tone, “I’m telling you, Esmeralda, don’t think about using the children to play tricks in front of me. Since I recognized them, I wouldn’t let go.” “You can’t take them away from me!”

Reynaldo stared at me fiercely, his eyes filled with coldness.

I was shocked in my heart. This is bad. His concern for the children seemed to far exceed my imagination. So, how was I going to slip away from under his nose with Essie after getting pregnant with our third child?

Lost in thought, I suddenly felt a pain in my wrist. I frowned and stared at him, “What are you doing?”

“Where is Essie with Roddy? Give him back to me!”

Gave it back to him?
