There is no need to draw a clear boundary, as we never had any elationship to begin with.”
Who said that!” Reynaldo suddenly bellowed at me, “Who said we have o connection, do you know…”
Yes, we used to be in a romantic relationship, but now, aren’t you getting engaged to Ms. Palmer? Let’s put an end to our romantic relationship
here.”
Reynaldo clearly paused for a moment.
He looked at me fixedly and said, “So, you also received the news of my engagement to Kimberly, right?”
Yeah,” I smiled at him, trying my best. “I actually wanted to congratulate you, and now that I bumped into you, I can say it in person.
Congratulations!”
Reynaldo looked at me heavily, his black eyes wrapped in an unbreakable coldness.
He suddenly laughed and said, “Congratulations? So, even if you knew that I was going to get engaged to Kimberly, you had no intention of howing up, right?”
If it weren’t for us happening to meet today, you had no intention of ever appearing in front of me again, right?”
pursed my lips and remained silent.
le had a faint smile on his face, a smile that was cold and self- eprecating. “Ms. Dully, do you really… really not want to see me?”
frowned at him, “Reynaldo, you were really strange, weren’t you…….”
I have one more question for you…” Before I could finish speaking, he uddenly grabbed my arm and stared at me intently, “Do you want to ome back with me?”
Go back with him?
What did you go back for?
Did he continue to be his clandestine lover?
No, no, no….
would go back as his lover to see him and Kimberly happily together until old age, I would go crazy.
Not to mention, I had a baby.
Yes, baby, absolutely cannot let Reynaldo find out that I was pregnant with his baby.
I looked at Reynaldo and said firmly, “No, I don’t want to go back with

“Esmeralda!”
He tightly gripped my arm, and because he exerted too much force, his knuckles turned slightly pale.

ast wanted Ralda to live her own life quietly. Now that you and imberly are also getting together, I won’t disturb you, and please don’t sturb me anymore, okay?
As for the money I owe you, I will definitely repay you in my lifetime.”
lowever, he seemed to have not heard what I said behind him, and just neered at me coldly, “Live your own life? Is your so–called life just asually clinging to a man?”
ou would rather accompany them than be with me.
Was it that I didn’t give enough, or was there something about me that as not as good as them?”
That’s enough, Reynaldo. Why do you always have to look at me like his?” I looked at him sadly and said, “I admit, I used to be a useless rich irl, but ever since my family fell on hard times, I have been trying my est to live on my own abilities.”
Why do you always have to think that I relied on men to survive? In your yes, am I really that pathetic?
eynaldo didn’t say a word, but just stared at me fiercely. In those dark nd deep eyes of his, there was resentment, self–mockery, and a touch of describable sadness.
didn’t know what he was sad about, after all, it was him who hurt others with his words.
snapped at him coldly, “Reynaldo, not everyone’s thoughts are as dirty as ours. That man earlier, he was just my colleague.”

Reynaldo remained silent, his dark and intense eyes fixed unwaveringly

When he looked at people like that, there was an indescribable sense of ppression.
couldn’t stand this oppression, and I didn’t want to say anything more to im.
forcefully pried open his hand and turned around, ready to leave.
But he suddenly grabbed my hand.
le remained silent for a few seconds before speaking, his voice sounding lull: “Come back with me.”
Go back with him?
How is it possible?
Because of the baby in my belly, I couldn’t go back with him either.
pushed his hand away again and firmly said, “I couldn’t go back with
ou.”
After saying that, I stopped looking at him and walked quickly out of the
athroom.
He heard a self–mocking chuckle from behind him, “I only ask for this one ime, really, just this one time.”
