Chapter 921

Last night, the push he gave me really hurt my buttocks when I fell.

This hit the car, pulling on the place where I fell last night, and I immediately frowned in pain, reaching for my hip. He must have fallen and bruised there.

Reynaldo was stunned for two seconds, his dark eyes fixed on the place I was covering. He seemed to have guessed something; a complex expression flashed across his handsome face, which I couldn’t understand—like guilt, yet also like heartache.

He took two steps closer, his voice low and somewhat awkward, “Did you hurt yourself last night?”

I turned my face away, my eyes reddening with anger. “It’s none of your business. It’s my own fault for lowering myself and desperately trying to get close to someone, only to have that person despise me, reject me, and ruthlessly push me away. Ah, people have their pride; I won’t do that again.”

“You shouldn’t say that.”

Reynaldo reached out as if he wanted to see where I had been hurt from being thrown last night, but his hand stopped halfway in the air. He looked at me steadily, his eyes deep like a vast sea.

He seemed to explain, “I didn’t mean to use so much force; I… didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Hey, when you pushed me away, it was just instinct; after all, you just detest me.”

“I didn’t despise you,” Reynaldo said, frowning seriously.

I smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter; anyway, I won’t be so stupid to flirt with you in the future. Of course, as an adult, I inevitably have needs. Since you wouldn’t let me touch you, I couldn’t help but find someone else at that time. You better not…”

“You dare!”

Reynaldo suddenly leaned against the car and trapped me between him and the car body. The moment of heartache and guilt just now disappeared instantly. He glared at me fiercely, “Esmeralda, if you dare to look for someone else, I will really kill you!”

“Whatever you want!” I hummed and pushed his chest, wanting to leave.

He suddenly pushed me back again, with great force, and for a moment, it pulled on my already sore waist and hips. My face wrinkled with pain.

He stared at me for two seconds, then his big hand suddenly slid to my waist and gently pressed down.

I immediately cried out in pain, glaring at him with resentment. He pursed his lips and whispered, “I’ll take a look when we get back. I think you might have bruised it.”

“No need!” I turned my face away, annoyed.

He stared at me in silence for a while, then suddenly let go of me, and his tall figure also took two steps back. He whispered to me, “Okay, stop making a fuss. I’ll buy some medicine for bruises later and apply it to you when we get back.”

I ignored him, opened the car door, and got in by myself. When I was about to close the car door, he grabbed the door and asked, “Where are you going?”

“I said, it’s none of your business.”

Reynaldo’s face darkened, his jaw tightened, and he said, “I didn’t want to bother you either, but the kids said they wanted you to pick them up after school today.”

“Don’t worry, you don’t have to tell me; I will go pick them up too.”

As I was speaking, I was about to close the car door, but unfortunately, I pulled for a long time and couldn’t move it. I frowned and glared at him, “Let go!”

Reynaldo didn’t move, and his dark eyes instantly took on a sense of oppression.
