Chapter 1087
But who would have thought that last night Reynaldo and I were still loving each other, trusting each other, and promising each other that we would never leave each other. But this morning, Reynaldo suddenly backed out, suddenly didn’t want me anymore.
Thinking about everything that happened this morning, I felt upset. I threw my phone aside, lay down in the blanket, not wanting to think about anything, not wanting to say anything. Johnathan and Vonnie exchanged a glance, both sighed, and neither spoke again.
That night, when Johnathan went out with Vonnie to buy me dinner, Quentin suddenly called again. The first and second time he called, I didn’t answer. I thought he'd give up after two missed calls. I didn’t expect that after two minutes, he called again for the third time. I furrowed my brows and irritably swiped towards the answer button. I wanted to hear what else he had to say to me after “taking care of Kimberly” like that. The phone was answered.
Quentin’s anxious voice came through immediately: “Ralda, you finally answered my call, are you okay?”
I pursed my lips and felt his anxiety was a bit ridiculous. I said softly, “Thanks to you, I didn’t die.”
Quentin paused for two seconds, as if he had let out a sigh of relief. He said, “You didn’t talk much with Reynaldo, did you? Last night he was looking for you and ended up coming to me and dad. He burst in like a madman, with people following him, pressing us and asking about your whereabouts. He also said that if anything happened to you, he would want all of us to be buried with you. Ralda, tell me what happened last night, why didn’t you answer our calls? Not even Reynaldo could find you.”
Reynaldo really “lost it” looking for me last night. Why did the man who clearly loved me so much give up on me? Just thinking about these things made my heart ache.
Quentin was still on the phone, asking me urgently. I sneered coldly and said, “Thanks to your girlfriend, I almost died last night.”
“Ralda, what are you talking about again? Kimberly was with me all night last night, how could she have gone to harm you?”
“Look, no matter what happens, your first priority is to protect her, so what is the purpose of you making this call? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous how fake your concerns about me are?”
“Ralda…”
“Quentin!” I interrupted him coldly, sneering, “If one day, your Kimberly kills me, will you avenge me?”
“Impossible!” Quentin said firmly.
I sneered and said, “What if one day it really happens?”
Quentin remained silent for a long time, and said word by word, “Then I will definitely avenge you!”
Listening to Quentin’s promise, I just chuckled sarcastically and didn’t take it seriously. He loved Kimberly so much that he didn’t care about right or wrong, black or white, and even disregarded his mother’s death. He even wished he could give his life to Kimberly. To the extent that he coddled Kimberly like that, how could I possibly believe that he would avenge me.
“Ralda, tell me quickly, what happened last night? What went wrong between you and Reynaldo?” Quentin asked anxiously again.
I sneered coldly, “What? Did Kimberly specifically send you to inquire about me and Reynaldo?”
“Ralda…” Quentin sighed helplessly, “Why do you always think of me in such a bad way? I just simply want to care for you.”
“Concerned?” I sneered, “When Kimberly falsely accused me, where was your concern then? So, my dear brother, you really don’t need to be so hypocritical in front of me; really, you just disgust me even more.”
