Chapter 3 Reunion
Elliot patted his head and looked at Jacob speechlessly, “Mom always told you to read more and play less on the computer, but you secretly played on the computer again, didn’t you? You couldn’t write a single one of the seven characters, and you got two of them wrong.”
“Bro, don’t worry about these details.” Jacob chuckled, and after finishing, he drew a really abstract pig next to it.
“Hmph, dog dad.”
Let everyone know you were a total jerk.
These years they hadn’t met Dog Dad, but they’d heard his name and seen him on TV happily going to events with other women.
So when they saw Rodrigo here for the first time, they recognized him right away, no doubt about it.
Gianna didn’t want to talk to the kids about anything about Rodrigo, so most things were told to them by Gianna’s best friend Joselyn Cunningham when they kept asking her.
So the kids knew why mommy brought them to live here alone, because bad daddy did things that hurt mommy, he didn’t deserve to be mommy’s husband, and he didn’t deserve to be their daddy.
“Big brother, second brother, what were you doing?” Linda ran over.
“Shh.” Jacob immediately covered Linda’s mouth. “Linda, keep it down, we’re doing something bad.”
Linda immediately covered her mouth and nodded, making sure she wouldn’t make a sound. Then Linda saw the words written on the car with colored markers, “Second brother, you wrote the wrong word.”
Jacob awkwardly waved his little hand, “…Don’t mind those details.”
Elliot took Linda’s hand and asked her, “Linda, is mommy still not off work yet?”
“Mommy was called to the office by the manager uncle.”
At that moment, in the manager’s office.
When Gianna went in, the manager looked at her and immediately waved her over, introducing her: “Gina, come here, this is Mrs. Salazar. Mrs. Salazar, this is
the auctioneer Gina you were looking for.”

Mrs. Salazar?
Gianna looked up, glanced over, and frowned a little.
It was actually her!
Paisley!
The woman Rodrigo loved deeply back then.
Mrs. Salazar? Yeah, that’s right. Rodrigo loved her, she divorced him, so of course he couldn’t wait to marry Paisley.
I really didn’t expect that, back then she helped Rodrigo and her get together, came to Freyton alone, and actually ran into her again in Freyton.
Gianna felt a tightness in her chest, and her face turned a bit colder.
Paisley was all dressed up, put down her coffee, glanced at Gianna with the veil, and there seemed to be some disdain in her eyes.
Chief auctioneer?
Could you appraise antiques?
She once got famous with a single hit. People online talked her up like she was some kind of legend, and I thought she was really something. But in the end, she
are show her real lace
I didn’t get why Leandro had to see her.
Paisley snorted, “So you’re Gina. I heard you’re not just an auctioneer, you can also appraise antiques? We wanted to hire you for a few days, come back to Newbarrow with us to the Salazar family to look at some antiques. Name your price.”
Paisley was confident that no one could say no to “name your price,” and besides, the Salazar family’s name was something everyone had heard of, so of course
no one would dare refuse.
She picked up her coffee and took a sip, not in a hurry, waiting for Gianna to come over and flatter her.
A chill ran through Gianna’s heart.
She could appraise antiques.
But no matter what, they just couldn’t get her to come.
Gianna left back then because she didn’t want to see them again, so there’s no way she would’ve agreed to go back to Newbarrow with her.
Sorry, my job was an auctioneer. If you wanted to appraise antiques, you could find someone else. I couldn’t do it. Manager, I had something else to do, so I left
irst.”
Gianna said that and was about to leave.
‘aisley was stunned.
he actually said no.
Wait, do you know who I am? You better think it over before you answer.”
I knew very well, I refused.”
What’s your attitude? I paid you to come back, what made you unwilling?”
aisley stood up and grabbed Gianna.
o please Leandro, Paisley just had to bring someone back.
ianna frowned, lowered her eyes, and looked at the hand Paisley was gripping tightly.
t that moment, her pupils shrank.
aisley wore a full green jade bracelet on her wrist. The color was even and the water was great. It was top-quality jade, worth over a hundred million. And she ecognized it at a glance-this jade bracelet was her family’s heirloom.
I was given to her by her mom. Back then, her mom told her to take good care of this bracelet, saying it might be really useful for her someday. But she left in a urry that year, so the bracelet was still with the Salazar family, and now it actually ended up with Paisley.
id Rodrigo give it to her?
le wanted to give it to Paisley, but why did he use her stuff as a gift?
Gianna grabbed Paisley’s hand with a backhand grip, “Is this jade bracelet yours?”
‘aisley gave Gianna an annoyed look, “Of course it’s mine, my husband gave it to me. If it’s not mine, is it yours?”
ure enough, it was Rodrigo who gave it to her.
dy chest hurt so bad. Rodrigo clearly knew this was hers, but he still gave it to Paisley!
What kind of total jerk gives his ex-wife’s family heirloom to his current wife?
Wasnt he grossed out?
Let go
Just as I was thinking, a cold and forceful voice sounded.
Gianna looked up. The man had shown up at the door without her noticing. Her eyes suddenly met his deep, dark ones.
The man was tall and had a straight posture. His features were handsome. Just by standing there, the strong sense of pressure built up from years of power was
hard to hide.
Gianna’s fingers tightened.
Rodrigo!
It was actually Rodrigo.
Linda said seeing Rodrigo wasn’t a mistake!
Gianna should’ve thought that since these two loved each other so much, if Paisley showed up, Rodrigo would probably be there too.
Gianna had been gone for five years and hadn’t thought she’d see Rodrigo again.
She didn’t want to see him again, because she was scared.
She had three kids. If Rodrigo found out, he would definitely take the kids away.
Because big families like the Salazar family wouldn’t have allowed their bloodline to be left out there.
And these three kids had already become Gianna’s whole life, Gianna didn’t allow even the slightest chance of being separated from them.
This was also the reason why Gianna had worn a veil and been extra careful all these years.
Gianna clenched her palm, and the man’s eyes fell on her, like he wanted to see her face through that thin veil.
Gianna’s heart kept beating faster.
Paisley shook off Gianna’s hand and totally changed her face. “Rodrigo, I told this Gina, but Gina just wouldn’t go back with us. She seemed to really look down
on us.”
Looked down on the Salazar family.
Go ahead and die, her.
Paisley lifted her head.
Rodrigo stared at Gianna, “Name your price.”
