Chapter 1085
Johnathan sighed and then, with a cheerful tone, smiled, “Esmie, I have some good news to tell you.”
I didn’t react.
Vonnie muttered, “At this point, what good news could there be? The recent news has been all bad.”
“Hehe!” Johnathan smirked and said to me, “Esmie, you would never have guessed that the Duffy’s villa is under your name.
I was taken aback, furrowing my brows as I looked at him, feeling like he was joking to cheer me up.
Vonnie said, “How is that possible? Who doesn’t know that after Ralda’s family went bankrupt, the Duffy’s villa was bought by Reynaldo.”
“You guys didn’t know about this, did you? When Reynaldo found out that the Duffy’s villa was going to be auctioned off, he dropped everything he was doing and rushed to the auction site in a hurry, and he bid a sky–high price to buy the Duffy’s villa.”
To be honest, the Duffy’s villa was old and dilapidated, still carrying the humiliating memories of Reynaldo’s three years as a son–in–law.
If it were me, I would definitely not have spent such a high price to buy “the Duffy’s villa“, so much money, buying the most luxurious new villa in Freybourne would have been more than enc h.
But there was no way around it, after all, “the Duffy’s villa” had been Esmie’s home for over twenty years.

In order to ensure that Esmie could still live in her former home even after going bankrupt, he went to great lengths and secretly transferred the Duffy’s villa into Esmic’s name.
After listening to Johnathan’s words, I bitterly tugged at my lips.
I always thought that Reynaldo intentionally bought the Duffy’s villa to humiliate me and my family, but it turns out, he just wanted me to have my old home back.
“So Esmie, if you really get angry with Reynaldo, just kick him out of the Duffy’s villa, after all, the Duffy’s villa is yours, hehe.”
I smiled faintly and said, “It doesn’t matter, the Duffy’s villa was bought with his money, so it’s his.”
“Ah, don’t be like this,” Johnathan sighed heavily again.
At that moment, my phone suddenly rang.
I hadn’t had time to look at my phone when Johnathan dragged a chair over and said, “It must be Reynaldo calling.”
My phone was still charging on the bedside table.
Vonnie glanced over and exclaimed, “Oh, it really is Reynaldo calling.”
“Ah, I knew it, Reynaldo must have been worried about Esmie.”
Johnathan said, urging me, “Esmie, answer the phone quickly.”
I turned to the side, not wanting to answer the phone.
In the morning, the man said so decisively, I cried 1e that, he didn’t believe that I loved him.

So, I didn’t think that when he called, he would have anything good to
say.
I was feeling a little better now, and I didn’t want to get upset again because of this phone call.
“Ralda……”
Vonnie shook my arm and said, “Where is Reynaldo’s phone? Answer it, he must be calling to cheer you up.”
“Yes, Reynaldo must have suddenly come to his senses and decided to apologize to you,” added Johnathan.
I said lightly, “If you want to pick them up, go ahead. I don’t want to pick them up.”
The phone rang once, and then rang again a few seconds later.
Johnathan said, “This is what you said, so I’ll take it.”
He hung up and answered the phone, then put it on speakerphone.
Soon, a soft and tender voice came.
“Mommy?”
It was Essie’s voice.
My heart suddenly softened, and at the same time, a touch of bitterness
arose.
