Chapter 526

This was the place where he had lived before. Even without turning on the lights, he seemed to be able to see clearly. He went downstairs quickly.

I was anxious in my heart and almost stepped on air and fell down a few times.

Arriving at the corner of the stairs, I quickly pressed the switch and hurried down to chase after him.

When I caught up, Reynaldo had already gotten in the car.

I hurried over, but he instantly started the car, and it shot away like an arrow.

“Reynaldo!”

I shouted his name loudly from the back, feeling a strong sense of grievance rising in my heart.

He didn’t listen to my explanation.

He simply refused to believe my words.

No matter how much I assured him that he was the only one I liked, he just wouldn’t believe it.

I suddenly didn’t know what to do.

I’m not sure how far a relationship with such a lack of trust can go.

I watched as the taillights disappeared into the night, tears instantly blurring my vision.

Wasn’t he saying he liked me?

Why wouldn’t you believe me?

“Esmeralda?”

Anton finally came back. He hurriedly got out of the car and anxiously grabbed my shoulder. “Why are you standing outside and dressed so lightly? What happened?”

“Reynaldo had come.”

“Reynaldo?” Anton looked around in surprise. “Wasn’t he in the hospital? What is he doing here?”

I shook my head randomly, grabbed his sleeve and cried, “He came and then left. He always misunderstands me. He refuses to believe me, sob…no matter how I explain, he just won’t believe…”

“Alright, alright,” Anton patted my back lightly and said, “Let’s go inside first; it’s cold outside.”

Anton’s few concerned inquiries made the grievances in my heart burst to the extreme.

I cried and said to him incoherently, “He won’t talk to me anymore, Anton. He said he’s tired; he wants to set me free. Does he not want this relationship anymore?”

Anton didn’t say anything; he just silently pulled me into the house.

After entering the house, I finally realized how cold it was outside.

My hands and feet were icy cold, and I couldn’t stop shivering all over.

Anton carried me directly to the bed on the third floor.

He wrapped me tightly in the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at me intently.

I choked, and my body kept trembling.

He sighed lightly, pulled the blanket tighter around me, and asked, “What happened between you and him again?”

“He always misunderstood that it was you that I liked,” I choked out.

Anton looked at me deeply and suddenly chuckled, “No wonder he misunderstood. After all, you used to like me.”

No wonder he followed, even though he was injured. He was afraid that you would remember the past and run away with me.

“But I simply can’t remember that past, and even if I did, it was just a childhood memory.”

“Was it?”

Anton laughed and reached into his pocket for a cigarette, as if he was craving a smoke.

When the cigarette case was taken out, he seemed to remember something and then pushed it back into his pocket.

He stood up and said softly, “Even if you really can’t remember anything, it doesn’t change the fact that you fought him for me back then.”

“I… I hit him?” I asked in surprise.

Anton pursed his lips and smiled at me. “Yes, you not only hit him but also cursed at him. You called him garbage and said no wonder his parents all abandoned him…”
