I pursed my lips and obediently sat in my own seat.
“It takes about three hours to fly to Yoripero, so you can rest.”
I had just sat down when he suddenly floated over a sentence.
I responded softly, closed my eyes, and said no more.
Last night was a real ordeal.
As soon as I lay down on the chair, I fell asleep.
On the plane, I couldn’t sleep well at all, I kept dreaming.
The key is still to have strange dreams.
I dreamt that Reynaldo actually knew I was pregnant.
He locked me in a dark attic, where I was not allowed to go anywhere or see anyone.
I knocked on the door and smashed the window like crazy, but still couldn’t escape.
Then in the blink of an eye, my baby was born.
I hadn’t even had a chance to hold my baby when Reynaldo took them
away.
I shouted and cried at him hoarsely, hoping he would give the baby back
to me.
But he ignored me, he and Kimberly each holding a baby, then
disappeared.

I was finally awakened, and when I woke up, there were still tears on my face.
I didn’t have time to wipe away my tears, because at that moment, there was a terrible sense of oppression looming in front of me.
Reynaldo approached me without my knowing when.
Strong arms were propped on either side of my chair.
His deep black eyes stared at me without blinking.
No!
It should be said that he was staring at my stomach.
My heart skipped a beat.
Did I… did I just talk in my sleep?
It’s over, it’s over!
I propped myself up and squeezed into the chair, smiling at him in surprise and asking, “Mr. Humphrey, what, what’s wrong?”
“What kind of dream did you have that made you so sad and cry?”
He said, raising his hand to gently wipe the tears from the corner of my
eye.
I pushed his hand away and nervously said, “Just, just a nightmare.”
“Nightmare?”
Reynaldo stared at me with his dark, piercing eyes, making my heart race.
I lowered my head and forced myself to say calmly, “It was when I dreamt of my family going bankrupt, everything changed, the good life was gone

I also dreamed of debt collectors coming to collect debts. They were so fierce, hitting and scolding us, and then I cried in fear.

“So, you’re saying that it was me who was demanding payment, and you even dreamt that I took away your baby?”
He chuckled softly and said, with no hint of a smile in his eyes.
I shuddered in fear and pretended to look at him in confusion, “What, what do you mean?”
“Esmeralda…” he sat up straight, smiling coldly, “You are really full of lies, even a nightmare has to deceive me. Is it really that difficult for you to tell me the truth?”
“I, I… I, I really dreamt that my family went bankrupt, and then creditors came to collect debts.” I said softly.
He snorted coldly, “Then why did you shout my name in that hateful tone in your dream, even the words you said in the dream were filled with a desire to kill me.”
“Esmeralda! Ms. Duffy, how much do you actually hate me deep down
inside?”
I nervously gripped the chair beneath me, not daring to say a word.
At this point, the more I said, the more mistakes I made. After all, I didn’t even know what nonsense I was talking about.
He suddenly reached out and his fingertips landed on my flat stomach.
