Chapter 76

Now, it turns out that I have to stay here for one more night. I just hope nothing happens tonight.

The decoration and furnishings in the small attic were relatively simple. The first floor was the living room, and the second floor had only a study and a bedroom. Reynaldo led me upstairs and said lightly, “Here is where I used to live.” He paused for a moment and added, “It was my grandmother who fought for me.”

I watched his back in astonishment. Does even such a crude attic require his grandmother’s help for him to fight for it?

He used to have no status at all in the Humphrey family. If Grandma hadn’t fought for this attic for him, would he have had nowhere to live in this huge family?

As if guessing what I was thinking, he suddenly stopped at the staircase and turned to look at me. “I wasn’t as pitiful as you imagined. Even without this attic, I still had a room to live in.”

I pursed my lips and remained silent. This man was really amazing; he knew everything I was thinking.

I followed Reynaldo into the bedroom. The bedroom was not big, and the decoration was also simple, but fortunately, it was clean and tidy. Reynaldo stood by the window, pulled it open, and then lit a cigarette, saying to me, “If you’re tired, go wash up and go to sleep.”

I was indeed a bit tired. It’s already past twelve now, and I have to go to work early tomorrow morning. I definitely can’t stay up late anymore.

I didn’t pay him any mind and went to the bathroom by myself. However, when I finished taking a shower, I embarrassingly realized that there was no bathrobe in the bathroom, not even a towel.

This…

I carefully opened the door a crack, hoping that Reynaldo would be gone.

However, things didn’t go as planned. Just as I opened the door, I bumped right into Reynaldo. The heartbeat skipped a few beats in an instant. I subconsciously wanted to close the door, and he suddenly spoke coldly, “What? Can’t stand the sight of me?”

Me: ”…”

This man continued to speak rudely as always. I poked my head out and grumbled at him, “Help me get a bathrobe or pajamas.”

“Come out and get it yourself!” He closed the curtains and casually said, “It’s not like you haven’t seen it before.”

“You!”

I slammed the door in anger, leaned against the door panel, and didn’t want to pay attention to him. Although I had been intimate with him many times, and had walked naked in front of him with an open mind, sometimes, when the emotions are different and the atmosphere is different, it’s not possible to be completely naked in front of him.

He tried to kill me several times today and injured my knees and hands. Strictly speaking, I was still in a “cold war” phase with him, so how could I possibly be naked in front of him?

Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside.

“Pajamas!”

I was startled and cautiously pulled the door open. His hand reached in, holding a black shirt.

I furrowed my brows and said, “Don’t you have any ladies’ pajamas? Men’s will do too!”

“No!”

I choked for a moment, but had no choice but to take it. Well, it’s better than not wearing anything. Fortunately, his shirt was very long on me, covering my thighs.

I also don’t know why his clothes are so much bigger on me. I’m not short either. The sleeves had to be rolled up several times before my hands were exposed. And Reynaldo is not fat either; the fact that such a big piece of clothing fits him perfectly is also amazing.

When I went out, Reynaldo was still leaning against the window smoking. Just by looking into my eyes, they suddenly became much deeper, faintly flashing a hint of desire.

Actually, just now I also looked in the mirror, and this black shirt made my skin look very, very white. And the length that just covered the thighs was actually quite tempting. Plus, I wasn’t wearing a bra, which made the curve of the shirt against my chest even more intriguing.

He was a normal man, so it was not surprising that he would have desires when he saw me dressed like this. In my impression, he used to be quite crazy about that kind of thing.

However, I had just had an unpleasant argument with him today, so I didn’t feel like being affectionate with him at all, and I even had some resistance towards him.
