Chapter 147
Of course, both your brother and I didn’t believe his words, so we didn’t dare to let you come out recklessly.
Today, when you asked me like this, I told you.
But Reynaldo is a very deep–thinking man, so we should still be cautious. What if you appear in front of him and he starts settling old scores with you? You agree, right?
“Um.”
I whispered softly, recalling the text message Reynaldo had sent me that night.
He said that if I didn’t appear in front of him again, then there would be no need to appear in front of him again in the future.
He said it was not necessary for him to be with me, he said he would not look for me anymore.
What he said was all true.
That’s fine, before long, he will definitely forget about me.
It was obviously a good thing, but for some reason, there was an indescribable sense of melancholy and loss lingering in my heart.
That night, I dreamt of Reynaldo again.
I dreamt that he turned back into that gentle and considerate
appearance.
Chapter 47
In the dream, he was no longer the husband who was oppressed by me, but the man I loved.
He would cuddle me to sleep every night, gently say good morning to me in the morning, and considerately make breakfast for me.
He would also take care of our baby tenderly and make the baby laugh.
Everything in the dream was so beautiful that it was addictive.
I had to wake up from a beautiful dream only when my alarm clock for work went off.
When I woke up, there was a smile on my lips and warmth in my heart.
That dream was so beautiful, as can be seen.
I leaned against the head of the bed, full of melancholy doubts, wondering if that dream could be the happiness I longed for in my
heart.
Ah! What a pity.
That gentle and virtuous husband of mine was finally lost by me, and I can never find him again..
I waved away the negative emotions and got up to wash my face with cold water, which instantly made me feel much more awake.
As I was getting ready and about to leave for work, I ran into Trevin and Auntie.
The two of them smiled and greeted me.
As we were going downstairs, Trevin said to me, “Esmeralda, did you see the big boss who was overseeing our construction site yesterday?”
I shook my head, “Did you see it?”
Yesterday, I heard that the big boss came to inspect the construction. site. He came in a luxurious car.
Many people in the office went to see it, saying that they wanted to catch a glimpse of the boss’s style, even the supervisor went.
I myself was not interested in the hustle and bustle, and I was afraid of the danger of falling in the crowd, so I didn’t go.
Yesterday, even when eating in the cafeteria, the topic of conversation was all about the big boss.
But what’s funny is that still no one knew the name of that big boss.
Trevin said. “I didn’t see it, but my mom did.”
Trevin spoke and bumped his mother’s arm.
Auntie then said. “We were free at that time, so we saw it. I must say, that big boss was really beautiful, tall and with long legs. That face, oh my, it was even more attractive than a celebrity.”
I couldn’t help but laugh when she described the big boss of the construction site as “handsome.
Auntie glanced at me and then shook her head disapprovingly, saying, “Esmeralda, don’t blame Auntie for being straightforward. Although you are young and quite good–looking, someone like you really can’t catch the attention of the big boss.”
I had a dumbfounded expression on my face.
How did I get involved in this for no reason?
Trevin also said, “Yeah, he’s so rich and good–looking. A man with money and good looks can have any woman he wants. He probably wouldn’t even consider someone like you, who is just slightly attractive.”

“So, you know…” Auntie said to me with a meaningful look, “We, the people from the lower class, should stay grounded and not spend all day fantasizing about unrealistic things.”
“That’s right, especially for girls, be careful not to lose your virginity and end up with nothing, then it will be difficult to even marry a decent man.”
Trevin and his aunt sang together.
Even though I was foolish, I could still understand the meaning behind their words.
It seems that in their eyes, I was a materialistic gold digger.
Even they didn’t believe that I had already gotten married, instead they thought that the child in my belly was left behind by a wealthy man who had played with me because of my association with him.
