Chapter 1310
He put on a robe and then walked outside with the pile of clothes,
I hurriedly asked, “Where are you going again?“.
He turned back and smiled at me, saying, “This outfit is all smelly with the scent of blood, I’m going to throw it away.”
He paused and then smiled at me, “You go to sleep first, I’ll be up soon.”
“Oh.”
I responded with a dull “mmhmm,” lifted the covers and burrowed in, thinking to myself, “I really am so clingy to Reynaldo now.”
Before long, Reynaldo came up, still carrying some chill from outside.
As soon as he lay down, I hugged his waist and rested in his arms. The feeling was indescribably comforting.

Reynaldo stroked my hair and asked me, “Do I still smell like blood?”
I shook my head, “No, just the scent of bath.”
Reynaldo smiled and rested his chin on the top of my head.
He suddenly asked me, “Esmeralda, how many days until New Year?”
I thought for a moment and said, “It’s been about ten days, and today seems to be December 18th.”
“Do you remember the New Year gift I wanted?”
“Of course I remember,” I said, lifting my head and smiling at him “Don’t worry, your gift is simple ”
is
Reynaldo laughed and took my hand. “And what about you, what do you want for a New Year’s gift?*
I shook my head and said, “I don’t lack anything. I just want you to be well, and our two children to be well.”
Reynaldo chuckled softly, nodding and saying. “Well, your gift is quite simple too. Don’t worry, I’ll give it to you when the time comes.
Reynaldo’s smile, reflected in his eyes, filled the room with warmth.
The next day, I was awakened by a series of urgent phone calls.
I groggily reached for my phone and looked at it, and the next second, I was instantly wide awake.
It was actually Matthew who called.
What did he want to do?
I looked through the call records, and in just a short while, Matthew actually made several phone calls.
Reynaldo had already gotten up.
I put my phone on silent mode, then put on a piece of clothing and went outside.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Reynaldo coming out of the kitchen with dishes in hand.
Madisyn came up to me and smiled, saying, “Ms. Duffy, Mr.
Humphrey said he would personally cook lunch for you today. I didn’t realize Mr. Humphrey is quite a good cook.”
I looked up towards the dining table.
Reynaldo had already made several dishes, each dish looked delicious and appetizing.
Reynaldo said to me, “The meal is almost ready, go call the children to come and cat, they are playing in the yard.”
“Okay.”
I smiled and walked towards the yard.
Just as I stepped into the courtyard, my phone lit up again, and it was Matthew calling.
For over ten minutes, Matthew kept calling me non–stop, making me feel very uneasy.
I hung up on his call directly and was about to turn off my phone.
Suddenly, a text message popped up, and it was from Matthew.
If you don’t want Reynaldo to die, then answer the phone for me!
I can’t stand the word “death” now, especially when he’s still talking about Reynaldo’s death.
Thinking of this possibility, I felt a chill in my heart and a shiver down my spine.
Matthew’s string of numbers kept jumping.
It seemed that as long as I didn’t answer the phone, he wouldn’t give
- up.
Thinking about Matthew’s text, I nervously licked my lips, hesitated for a long time, but couldn’t resist answering.
