Chapter 968
"But it’s okay, I will go find evidence myself. I will prove my innocence myself. So, Reynaldo, can you… just trust me for now? I really didn’t kill your mother.”
When I reached the last sentence, all the past sorrow and grievances instantly flooded back, and even my voice carried a hint of choking.
He slowly raised his head to look at me.
The moment I locked eyes with him, a hint of mist inexplicably rose before me.
I bit my lip, my voice trembling with injustice: “Please believe me, I really, really did not kill your mother.”
That day, my mother passed away, and Quentin and my father also accused me.
“I was also in pain, I was also in despair. If it weren’t for the children, I might have given up long ago, I…”
Before I could finish speaking, he suddenly pulled me into his arms and held me tightly.
At that moment, an unprecedented sense of grievance surged like a mountain collapsing and the sea pouring in.
I couldn’t hold back and burst into tears in his arms.
Really, after all this time, this was the first time that when mentioning the incident from four years ago, he didn’t show any hatred towards me, instead he tenderly embraced me.
This embrace, I had been longing for four years.
Reynaldo held me silently, allowing me to vent my emotions.
After a long time, he finally spoke, as if coaxing me, “Don’t cry, I promise you, I will temporarily believe you. I will also wait until the moment you find evidence to prove your innocence.”
Originally, after being greatly wronged, just a comforting word from the loved one could make a person unable to hold back from crying loudly.
I was in his arms, crying uncontrollably, as if I wanted to let out all the grievances accumulated in my heart over the years.
He stroked my back, his deep voice tinged with a hint of sadness.
“Esmeralda, I always wanted you to live well. Even if I hated you again, I still hope you are well. You wouldn’t know, every day after we kicked you out of Freybourne was dark. Every winter, the cold is chilling to the bone. Sometimes I hate myself for driving you away, but I don’t know how to treat you.”
“I knew…”
His contradictions, how could I not know?
So, if I want to be with Reynaldo forever, happy and old together, then I must let the truth from four years ago come to light.
This time, I will definitely not let Kimberly get away with it again!
Last night was tough. After dinner I felt completely exhausted.
Reynaldo’s spirits were excellent.
He pulled me up from the bed, hugged me and kissed me, and smiled at me, saying, “Come on, I’ll take you out to see a movie.”
Huh?
I looked at him in astonishment, “Watch a movie?”
“Yeah.”
He found my hand, his long fingers slipping through mine, intertwining with my own.
He said to me, “Even though we are no longer young, I still want to have a romantic date with you.”
Now that I think about it, from the beginning until now, the number of times we went on dates was very few.
“I also want to be with you, like those ordinary couples, like husband and wife, going on dates, taking walks, admiring the night view.”
When Reynaldo said these words, his eyes looked deeply into mine, with infinite tenderness shining in them.
However, he was right. We really haven’t dated much from the beginning until now—except for the time when we made up.
