“Um, thank you, Auntie.”
After saying that, I quickly walked back to the room.
I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I increasingly feel that Aunt’s gaze towards me was strange.
Fortunately, my aunt and uncle were not as enthusiastic towards me ast they used to be, otherwise I really wouldn’t know how to refuse.
After resting for two days, I felt much better. On Monday, I went back to work with full energy.
Since I clarified with Trevin, he has not come to see me again, nor has he brought me anything.
Occasionally, when we bumped into each other, we would just exchange greetings like neighbors.
And he didn’t deliberately come to talk to me again when eating in the
construction site canteen.
That’s also fine.
Reynaldo never called me again, and he never sent me any messages again.
The peaceful days passed by day after day.
The feeling of fulfillment and comfort, it made me feel truly free. Reynaldo had truly let me go, and even seemed to have forgotten about

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and slowly I stopped living in constant fear and anxiety. Even during the holidays, I would go. around and explore the surrounding areas.
After work that day, the phone that had been quiet for half a month finally received a call.
It was Lavonne who called.
“Ralda, how have you been lately? I will come to see you once I finish these busy days.”
I laughed and said, “Everything is fine, how about you?”
“I’m doing alright, just a bit busy. I’m at the theater every day,” Lavonne said, then asked, “How’s the baby in your belly? Are you still experiencing morning sickness lately?”
“I felt a little nauseous, but it wasn’t very serious.”
“Oh… take good care of them, okay? As their godmother, I am really looking forward to their birth. I will give each of them a big red envelope when the time comes.”
“Haha, then let me thank you as their godmother first.”
After I finished speaking, Lavonne suddenly stopped smiling and hesitated, saying, “Ralda, I want to tell you something.”
“What?”
“It’s about that Reynaldo…”
My heart trembled slightly as I heard her mention Reynaldo’s name.

I said, “What happened to him?”
“He was going to get engaged!”
My hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and after a long while, I managed to force a smile and said, “Is that so?”
“Well, although I didn’t receive an invitation, of course, I might not be cligible, but I heard from many people on the set that he was going to get engaged.”
“That’s really congratulations to him.” I laughed and said, “Is it with Kimberly?”
“It seems so,” Lavonne said, and then disdainfully added, “These men, they are all playboys. Look at how he pursued you a few days ago, and yet, in the blink of an eye, he got engaged to another woman.”
I laughed and said, “You can’t say that about him. He approached me because he hated me, wanted to seek revenge on me, not because he liked me.”
He liked Kimberly from the beginning, so it was no big deal for him to get engaged to her. In fact, we had already divorced a long time ago.
Lavonne fell silent for a moment and asked me, “Ralda, are you… are you feeling sad? I remember you used to say that you liked him.”
“I had long stopped liking it,” I quickly replied, “I just want to focus on earning and saving money now, and then wait for my child to be born.”
“Yes, you should think like this. Why do we need men? We can still “Yes, you should think like this. Why
live a good life and raise our baby, right?”
“Yes, Lavonne is always right,” I nodded with a smile, and after at moment, I turned to her and asked, “Since Reynaldo is going to get

engaged to Kimberly, he shouldn’t be looking for me anymore, right?”
“I also felt that he should have given up on looking for you.”
Lavonne said, “That day, didn’t he snatch my phone and talk to you? Afterwards, he even sent two people to follow me.”
I thought those two people would keep monitoring me until you. showed up, but to my surprise, he withdrew them the next day.
I didn’t know what was going on until one day I met your brother.
Your brother told me that Reynaldo had already found him. He was scared to death at that time, thinking that Reynaldo was going to catch him to force you to show up.
Little did Reynaldo know, he simply told him that he would never see him again in his lifetime, and that he didn’t need to hide like this.
