Chapter 163

There was a moment of silence, and then the sound of knocking on the door came again.
I furrowed my brows and got up, walking over. “Who?”
There was no talking outside the door.
A bad premonition instantly surged up in my heart.
If it was my older brother and Trevin, when I asked, they would definitely respond immediately.
And at this moment, the person outside the door remained silent.
Could it be Reynaldo?
My heart raced, and I strained my voice as I asked again, “Who is it? If you don’t speak, I won’t open the door!”
The silence remained outside the door.
I frowned and emphasized, “Don’t make a sound, I really won’t open the door.”
There was silence outside the door for a long time, and finally a voice
came in.
Cold and deep: “Open the door!”
With a commanding tone, it made my heart tremble.
It really was Reynaldo’s voice!
I underestimated his power after all. It had only been a little over two hours when he found my place.

Where else could I hide then?
leaned against the door, feeling both anxious and confused in my heart.
What did he want when he came to find me in the middle of the night?
“Open the door, Esmeralda!” The knocking sound outside the door resounded once again, carrying his icy and oppressive tone.
The sound of the iron gate being knocked also made people particularly anxious at night.
I asked irritably, “What on earth do you want to do?”
“…Ha!” He outside the door suddenly chuckled lightly and sneered, “What? Now you won’t even let me in? Don’t worry, even if you stand in front of me naked, I’m not interested.”
I: …
That was said.
Seriously, this man spoke extremely rudely.
If this had been said during the three years of our marriage, no one would have believed that these words came out of his mouth, and that too,
t directed towards me.
As people became more developed, the inherent flaws hidden within their bodies were fully revealed, and they were even magnified multiple times.
The knocking sound rang a few more times,
At this moment, someone outside the door impatiently said, “Who is it? Knocking on the door incessantly, don’t you let people sleep?”

“Yeah, I have to work the early shift tomorrow. It’s so noisy, is there no sense of common decency anymore?”
I opened the door irritably.
He kept knocking like this, and the neighbors on both sides were about to be awakened by him.
The neighbors across and next to me were glaring at me with a face full of complaints.
I busily apologized to them, then glared at Reynaldo..
I was originally very angry, but when I saw the man’s cold and handsome face, my anger immediately subsided.
I used to not be afraid of him, but now, he is the one I fear the most.
I leaned to the side and let him into the house.
He didn’t even look at me and went straight into the house.
That posture, cold and arrogant.
I closed the door and turned around to look at him.
He stood in the middle of the room, looking around.
When the gaze fell upon the dark walls and dilapidated cabinets, the beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
I said lightly, “The environment here is dirty, messy, and poor. It’s not suitable for someone as distinguished as Mr. Humphrey. Please go back, Mr. Humphrey.”
Reynaldo chuckled.

He raised his gaze and stared at me, his deep eyes always filled with coldness and sarcasm.
