Chapter 424

“Of course,” I nodded, saying urgently, “I don’t want to see you angry every day. When you are happy, I am happy.”

Reynaldo stared at me without blinking; his eyes were too deep to be probed.

For a long time, he laughed and said, “Do you think I would believe that?”

With that, his face instantly turned cold, and he said word by word, “I’ll give you another chance, tell the truth!”

I swallowed nervously, made some calculations in my mind, and then spoke.

“Yes, I… I do have a favor to ask of you.”

“Ah!”

The man chuckled sarcastically, “Indeed.”

“It’s not that difficult,” I quickly said. “It’s just that I’ve been locked up here for too long, and I really feel bored. I feel like I’m going crazy being locked up.”

“So, you want me to let you go, don’t you?” he chuckled softly, his face chillingly cold. “Let you go, and then go find Anton, or go find Winston, right?”

I shook my head in confusion, not understanding why he always had such thoughts.

I hurriedly said, “I never thought about going to find them. I never thought about you letting me out. I just wanted to go out for some fresh air.”

If you are not at ease, you can take me out as well.

“I just don’t want to be stuck here all the time, Reynaldo…”

Saying that, I grabbed his hand and looked at him with tears in my eyes. “Would you take me out for some fresh air? I won’t run away, I won’t look for anyone else. I just want to go out and see, even if it’s just to go shopping.”

“Reynaldo, I beg you…”

Reynaldo stared at me intently, his brow furrowed deeply.

In his eyes, there was doubt and ridicule. “You have really deceived me too many times, so do you think I will believe what you are saying now?”

“It’s true!”

I cried urgently, “Now I am right under your nose, do you think I can still play tricks?”

“Who knows.”

Reynaldo said softly, “After all, Ms. Duffy, you have always been a liar and not obedient at all. Who knows what tricks you will play when you go out.”

He finished speaking, stood up, and leisurely tied the belt of the robe that I had pulled open.

He lowered his gaze and stared at me, his face expressionless; the desire in his eyes had already faded away completely.

He laughed at me self-deprecatingly and said, “Are you trying to please me and win my favor by asking for my help?”

“Ha, Esmeralda, did you really think I, Reynaldo, was so easily fooled?”

I dug my fingers into the carpet, staring at him intently.

I thought that by pleasing him, making him happy, he would agree to my request when he was in a good mood.

Originally, it was just my wild imagination.

He detested me, detested me completely, and showed me not a shred of mercy.

Reynaldo fastened the belt of his robe and slowly squatted in front of me.

He lifted my chin, looked into my teary eyes, and chuckled, “Behave yourself and stay here. Don’t think about playing any tricks. Seriously, my patience is limited.”

“Anger me again, and it won’t be as simple as just starving and thirsting you, understand?”

He stood up and walked out after finishing speaking.

I stared at his back in anger and said through gritted teeth, “You are a pervert, you are a narrow-minded devil! No one will ever like someone like you!”
