After all, he was really enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that it was a bit.
excessive.
Fortunately, at that moment, the aunt shouted at him, “Trevin, why don’t you come back quickly? It’s already late. The young girl just moved in and shé definitely needs some time to settle down. Don’t disturb her there.”
“Oh…” the young man scratched his head and smiled at me, “Well, I’ll go back first. You can come to me if you have any difficulties, okay?”
“Um, um, thank you, really appreciate it.”
I smiled at his back.
Maybe I was too guarded, perhaps they were really just a kind–hearted
person.
I took out the key and opened the door.
The house was a one–bedroom apartment, very simple but clean and tidy.
I put the suitcase aside and then washed my hands, getting ready to have something to eat before tidying up.
The takeaway I bought on the way has already gone cold, and the rice is all hard.
I ate a few bites and then I lost my appetite, and I felt like vomiting.

I got up and wanted to find some water to drink, but I found that there. was no water in the house.
I went to the kitchen again and saw a kettle boiling water, so I went to fetch some water and prepared to boil some water to drink.
However, the kettle had only been boiling for a while when suddenly, there was a loud ‘bang‘, as if something had exploded.
I was startled and hurried over to take a look. I found that the wire of the kettle had burned off, and the entire wire was scorching hot, which was quite frightening.
I quickly unplugged the plug, squatted on the ground, and looked at the broken kettle. A feeling of frustration surged up all of a sudden.
At that moment, I felt particularly useless, unable to even boil water properly.
Is it true that without him, Reynaldo, I would really struggle to survive?
Thinking of Reynaldo, a wave of sourness and pain surged in my heart.
I buried my head and tears uncontrollably fell down.
At that moment, my phone suddenly rang.
The familiar ringtone in this unfamiliar and quiet house felt. particularly comforting.
I quickly got up and went to the coffee table to get my phone.
It was Quentin who called.
“Ralda, how about it, did you move?”

I took a slight breath and smiled, “Well, I just arrived at the rented house.”
“How was it? Was the environment acceptable?”
“It was good, and there were also many people living around.”
Quentin paused for a moment and said, “ If it really doesn’t work out, let me find another house for you, brother. That area is crowded with people and the security is not very good. I’m afraid…”
“It’s okay, I won’t go out at night, and I think it’s pretty good here. There are small vendors all around, making it convenient for eating. and drinking. The most important thing is that there is a direct bus to my company.”
Quentin listened and felt a little relieved. He sighed and said, “Actually, if it wasn’t for Dad changing, you could still go and stay with them.”
“It’s okay, you are really doing well.
Actually, even if my dad hadn’t turned out like that, I wouldn’t have wanted to live with my parents anyway, after all, that house belongs to Reynaldo.
“Well, Ralda, you must be careful and pay more attention to your safety.”
“Uh–huh.”
After hanging up Quentin’s call, my phone suddenly rang again.
It turned out that it was Reynaldo who made the call.
I held the phone tightly, staring at the jumping names on the screen.

After I made my grandmother angry, I called her several times, but she didn’t answer.
How could he possibly call me again this time?
Did you find out that I had moved and come to interrogate me?
But wasn’t he the one who never wanted to see me again?
I moved away, shouldn’t he be happy?
An inexplicable anticipation surged uncontrollably in the troubled mind.
I pursed my lips and couldn’t help but answer the call.
The phone connected, and I listened to his deep breaths, my heart pounding heavily, completely unsure of what to say.
After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke first.
The tone was very indifferent, as if giving a command: “Grandma. wants to see you, come to the hospital tomorrow.”
The anticipation in my heart was instantly dashed.
I self–mockingly twisted my lips.
I thought he called me because I had moved away.
Originally, whether I moved or not was of no importance to him.
If it weren’t for my grandmother wanting to see me, he probably wouldn’t even want to acknowledge me, let alone call me on his own
initiative.
