Chapter 191
I didn’t expect her to have such character. Nowadays, there’s nothing to worry about. I casually hummed, “You’re overthinking it. Returning the money is a matter of my character; whether he cares about those few hundred bucks is his own business.” Moreover, he’s always been unwilling to let me go; it wasn’t I who planned to contact him. “Weren’t you her moonlight? Well then, please persuade her properly and tell her not to come looking for me anymore. As long as she doesn’t disturb me, I naturally won’t appear in front of her again or have any contact with her.”
“Ah! Reynaldo, when did you come out?” Kimberly suddenly exclaimed on the other end of the phone. My heart trembled; a faint sense of unease emerged. The phone must have ended up in Reynaldo’s hands because I heard a faint, cold, and suppressed breath. And listening to the surrounding noise, Kimberly clearly had the speakerphone on. That is to say, Reynaldo must have heard what I just said.
Kimberly said, “I’m sorry, Reynaldo. I saw Ms. Duffy transferred nine hundred dollars to you, so I called her to tell her not to transfer the money. After all, she already has a difficult life. But I didn’t expect…”

“You go out first.”
“…Oh, well then, I’ll go out first, Reynaldo. Don’t be angry either, Ms. Duffy…”
“Go out.”
Even when angry, Reynaldo wouldn’t use a harsh tone with Kimberly. The words “go out” were said very calmly. If it were me, I’m afraid it would have been yelling, a chilling tone. The other end of the phone was silent, with only the man’s gloomy breathing. Kimberly must have already gone out.
I pursed my lips and said, “I’ve already transferred the money for the medicine to you, please take it. It’s very late; I need to sleep, you should rest early too.”
“Esmeralda.” He suddenly shouted, his deep voice indescribably suppressed. I think if I were in front of him right now, he might have laid hands on me. I held my phone tightly, afraid to make a sound. Even through the phone, I was still afraid of him.

After a moment’s pause, Reynaldo suddenly laughed, a soft and self-mocking laugh. He said, “In your opinion, I was pestering you, right?”
“I didn’t mean that.” The words I just said to Kimberly meant he was unwilling to let me go and insisted on seeking revenge on me. How did it become ‘hounding persistently’ when it came out of his mouth? Is this completely not the same meaning? I don’t know if it was my poor communication skills or his poor understanding skills. I opened my mouth, about to explain.
He suddenly asked me, “Do you remember the night three days ago when you begged me for help?” My face turned red instantly. That night, although I was groggy, I still remembered many fragments. Especially when I was driven crazy by that scorching heat and unbearable discomfort, I almost impatiently ripped off his belt and messed up his shirt. That night, I said a lot of embarrassing things. Even he made me say whatever he wanted me to say, and made me do whatever he wanted me to do. “All night long, I acted even crazier and more enthusiastic than him.”

Looking back now, I felt extremely embarrassed about that night. I don’t know why he suddenly brought this up. Do I have to thank him for helping me relieve stress? I rubbed my burning cheeks awkwardly and said, “Reynaldo, I really appreciate your help that night. You tell me how I can thank you, and I promise I will do whatever I can to make it happen.”
“Huh!” He sneered, saying in extreme disappointment, “Look, you’ve always been like this. You talk nicely in bed, but when it comes to putting on your pants, you don’t recognize anyone.”
I: This is ridiculous; they made me sound like a scumbag.
“Esmeralda, have I always been acting foolish, haven’t I?”
“No, you…” I fucking lost myself just because of your words “as long as I.” But my sincere words were just a joke you casually made while being incoherent, a joke you would even say to anyone. Only I, became real.
“Reynaldo…” I don’t know why, but listening to his calm tone, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
