“If you don’t want to go, that’s fine. Don’t stop the two kids from going with me. If it weren’t for Essie insisting that you come along, do you think I would want you to go?”
Reynaldo said angrily, with a tone of disdain.
I was speechless and said, “I didn’t say they couldn’t go with you either.”
It was true that I had never stopped them from seeing each other since I was sure he wouldn’t compete with me for the child.
I said, “Essie insisted that I go before she would go, and I had no choice.”
But today I promised Vonnie again to go shopping with her, so I…
“No problem, you can take the kids with you to see him.”
I hadn’t finished speaking when Vonnie’s voice drifted over.
She walked over from the staircase, glanced around first, then smiled at me, “I happen to be too lazy to go shopping, so I’ll just stay home and rest.”
I glanced at Reynaldo.
The man snorted coldly and then led Roddy outside.
Roddy turned back and shouted to me and Essie, “Mommy, Essie, Dad and I are waiting for you outside.”
After Reynaldo mentioned that “children’s show” just now, Essie really

wanted to go and see it.
She tugged at my sleeve and said, “Mommy, come with me, I don’t want to go with daddy, he’s really mean.”
Vonnie covered her mouth and chuckled. “You better fulfill Essie’s wish. I’m afraid if you don’t go, Reynaldo will scare the children again.”
“Then you…”
“I’m fine.” Vonnie poured herself a glass of water and said, “I’ll just be in my room later, scrolling through my phone and sleeping.”
Thinking back to when Johnathan had just come over, their reactions, I hesitated and said, “About last night, you see… maybe we should find a time to talk to him properly.”
Vonnie lowered her eyes for two seconds, forced a smile, and said, “It’s just a drunken confusion of emotions, nothing to talk about, let’s leave it at that.”
I was about to say something when Roddy suddenly appeared at the door and shouted at me, “Mommy, come quickly with Essie, Daddy is about to drive.”
“Oh, then you let him drive, you two go.”
Roddy pursed his lips and muttered, “Mom is a bit annoying.”
I smiled, got up and started packing.
The weather was quickly turning into autumn, with sudden changes between cold and hot. I brought a few sweat–absorbing towels for the two children and filled two insulated cups with warm water.
When he came out, Reynaldo was leaning against the front of the car,

with a sullen expression on his face.
He glanced at me, then took a few steps over, snatched the canvas bag and thermos cup from my hand, with great force, wrapped in anger.
I was speechless.
Why was he angry all the time?
The amusement park was not far away, and we arrived there by car in half an hour.
As soon as they got off the car, the two children ran excitedly towards the entrance.
Reynaldo quickly called out to them, and then took one by the hand and led them inside.
I watched his back and suddenly felt that at this moment Reynaldo looked quite like a caring father.
When we reached the entrance, Reynaldo suddenly stopped and turned
to look at me.
I was stunned, “What?”
“Take the ticket!”
I frowned, “Didn’t you buy the tickets?”
“In your pocket, you took it out and checked the ticket.”
“You pay for it yourself.”
“What if I let go of these two little guys, what should I do if these two little guys run away?”
