Chapter 629

This year, winter in Freybourne was particularly cold.

Upon exiting the elevator, the cold wind rushed in. I tightened my down jacket and took out my phone to dial Reynaldo’s number. Just as I dialed, I heard a familiar ring at the door.

I subconsciously looked up and saw Reynaldo leaning against the car, looking at me pitifully. He was dressed in a black coat, with a light gray scarf around his neck. His facial features were deep-set and stern in the cold wind, but his eyes were somehow watery, with a hint of pity.

I sighed in my heart and walked over.

“Why are you here?”

He silently took my hand and placed it over his heart, warming it. He looked at me and said after a long pause, “I came earlier and called, but you didn’t answer. I thought you didn’t want to see me anymore.”

“How could it be?” I said.

He stared at me intently and sighed softly, “Are you mad at me?”

I shook my head and said nothing.

He explained, “Regarding today’s matter, I was not favoring Kimberly. I was just worried that you misunderstood her. After all, she really didn’t need to treat your family like that, and she…”

“Okay, let’s not mention her anymore.” I really don’t want to mention Kimberly at all now. And my mom was right, he was deceived by Kimberly. So with the deception and the illusion of that woman, I could only convince him with strong evidence. Besides, what I said was of no use.

Reynaldo looked at me deeply. He thought I was angry, and he tightly held my hand against his chest.

I looked behind him and saw that it was snowing again. I said to him, “It’s getting late, let’s go eat.”

He stood still.

I sighed and said, "I’m hungry. If you don’t want to eat, then you can go back. Anyway, the food at my home is almost ready, I’ll go up and eat.”

With that, I was about to pull my hand out, but he unexpectedly pressed my hand harder, looking at me with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

I furrowed my brows and looked at him, “So what do you want to do? Tell me! And why did you suddenly come to find me?”

Reynaldo looked at me steadily, with a slightly aggrieved and awkward expression. After a long silence, I forcefully pulled my hand out and said, “I’m really hungry. If you have nothing to say, I’ll go back to eat.”

However, as soon as I turned around, he suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me into his arms. The man’s chest was cold and hard. I frowned and pushed him. He held me tighter.

He whispered in my ear, his low voice wrapped in discomfort and awkwardness. “I came to coax you, I was afraid you would be angry.”

I wasn’t actually angry, really. I was very frustrated that I couldn’t expose Kimberly’s malicious true colors. At that moment, the man spoke to me in a low and pleasing tone, and my heart softened.

I raised my hand around his strong and thin waist, and muttered, “I’m not angry, I’m just really hungry. How about you take me out for a big meal?”

Reynaldo paused for two seconds, then chuckled softly, “Okay, you can have whatever you want to eat.”

“I want to eat the dishes cooked by Mr. Humphrey himself.”

“Okay, it’s up to you. Shall we go buy groceries now?”
