Chapter 637

I was stunned and hurried to open the door.
As the door opened, Reynaldo, with a gentle smile on his face, stood outside the door.
He also carried a lot of fruits and nutritional supplements in his hands.
I looked at the time and it was only five thirty.
I busily took the things from his hand and asked him, “Aren’t you supposed to be busy until six o’clock?”
Reynaldo looked at me steadily and whispered to me, “I couldn’t wait to see you, so I quickly finished all my work.”
Out of the blue, another cheesy line.
I awkwardly looked back over my shoulder.
My mother covered her mouth and chuckled, while Quentin hummed arrogantly.
Reynaldo, unaware of how cheesy he sounded, remained calm and composed, without blushing or skipping a beat.
My mother laughed for a while, then quickly pulled him in and said, “Just in time, the food is almost ready.”
Turning back to Quentin for confirmation, he said, “There’s only one soup left, right?”
“Well, you guys go ahead and eat,” Quentin said, then disappeared into the kitchen.

Reynaldo was still wearing a black overcoat.
He was tall with long legs, in great shape, like a walking coat hanger, and the black coat looked especially good on him.
Today, although it did not snow, the temperature was very low.
When Reynaldo entered, there was a chill in the air.
He took off his coat and handed it to me, respectfully calling out “Mom” to my mother.
My mother laughed so much that she couldn’t close her mouth, warmly pulling him to sit at the dining table.
Reynaldo was particularly sincere. He not only came, but also brought a gift.
My mom, Quentin, and Quentin’s girlfriend all attended.
Because I mentioned it to him, Quentin’s girlfriend might also come, and
he took note of it.
The gift was very valuable. My mother’s was a natural jade bracelet. At first sight of the ice–clear and sun–green matèrial, I knew it was worth a lot.
Quentin had a luxury watch, the brand of which I knew. Any watch from that brand costs millions of dollars.
Quentin’s girlfriend wore a delicate diamond necklace.
It must be said that Reynaldo’s appearance was really like a boyfriend coming to visit the girlfriend’s side.
The key is, after Reynaldo came in, his expression still had a hint of restraint.

We were laughing so hard. He had been our son–in–law for three years, but he really acted like a new son–in–law.
My mother saw Reynaldo’s attitude and laughed again with her mouth wide open.
She returned the bracelet and said with a smile. “We are all family, your presence is enough, there is no need to bring such a valuable gift,”
Quentin wore the watch on his wrist and showed off. “Mom, this is his intention, you should accept it.”
Saying that, he took the necklace he had bought for his girlfriend and smiled at Reynaldo, “It’s on me, Reynaldo. Come over for dinner more often in the future.”
I glared at him and said, “Vulgar!”
My mother chuckled and shook her head, saying to Reynaldo, “Quentin is just like a child, don’t mind him.”
“I thought Quentin was great, he could make me come back for dinner often, I was happy.”
Quentin hesitated for a moment and said, “You guys go ahead and cat. The dishes will get cold. I’ll go check on the soup in the kitchen.”
I knew Quentin must have been touched by what Reynaldo had just said.
After all, Quentin had humiliated Reynaldo before, and now Reynaldo can overlook the past and be so kind to us, which is really rare.
