Chapter 165

I stared at him nervously, afraid that he would get angry and strangle my
neck.
His fingers slid down along my collarbone.
I was wearing pajamas at the moment, and I wasn’t wearing any underwear inside.
When the feeling of admiration in my chest was grasped by him, I was startled and quickly held onto his hand.
I panicked and my voice changed tone: “Reynaldo, what… what are you doing? Didn’t you just say you weren’t… weren’t interested?”
Just then, my door was knocked again by someone.
With Trevin’s shout, “Esmeralda, open the door, it’s
me, Trevin.”
My head is about to explode, and Trevin has come again.
I looked at Reynaldo, while Reynaldo looked at me with a light laugh, and suddenly a flame burst into his originally cold eyes.
He broke free from my grip, deliberately exerting force with his fingers.
I glared at him angrily.
This resulted in his mocking playfulness.
Trevin was still shouting outside the door, “Esmeralda, please open the door. The king crab, neither my mom nor I finished eating it, and it will

go bad if we keep it until tomorrow. So, I brought it for you. Please have it, it’s so expensive, to avoid wasting it.”
Reynaldo tugged at his lips and leaned in close to my ear, chuckling softly, “Look, this is the man you’re interested in, giving you the leftovers from his meal with his mother. Ms. Duffy, you really need to get your eyes checked.”
I held his mischievous hand and muttered, “It’s none of your business!”
Little did I know that the man became even more outrageous, almost pressing his entire body tightly against mine.
He pressed me against the wall and whispered in my ear, “What exactly makes him better than me? Tell me, if you can point out even one thing, I will accept it without hesitation.”
“He was better than you in every way!” I was annoyed and couldn’t help but deliberately provoke him.
He sneered, “Is that so? Better than me in every way? Including… in bed?”
“Reynaldo!”
I glared at him angrily, wondering why he always had to think of me in that way with other men.
“Shh!” Reynaldo suddenly raised his index finger to his lips and sneered at me, “Keep your voice down. Are you intentionally trying to let that man outside the door hear us?”
I angrily shouted at him, “What do you want to do?”
At this moment, Trevin shouted outside the door, “Esmeralda, please open the door. This king crab is delicious, we can’t waste it. My mom and I couldn’t finish it.”

ursed at him again, but it was just in my mind. I was afraid that he uld bite me again.
ook a slight breath and turned my head to shout outside the door, “I
i’t want to eat it. If you can’t finish it, just throw it away.”
ow can this be possible?” Trevin said anxiously. “This thing is so pensive, it would be such a waste to throw it away. Esmeralda, you In’t eat much just now, so you can have the rest of the king crab.”

evin may have noticed my tone.
He stood outside the door, chuckling, and said, “Oh, oh, alright… Well, then, rest well and see you tomorrow, huh.”
The outside of the door finally quieted down, and I also breathed a sigh of relief.
Reynaldo still held the position on my chest, his gaze dark and intense.
He sneered, “You really don’t lack men wherever you go.”
“You, you’ve had enough!”
I pushed him forcefully, and the next second, I faced his cold and fierce gaze, unable to speak out in anger.
Reynaldo chuckled at me and turned around, sitting on the old worn–out sofa.
He took out a cigarette box, shook out one and put it in his mouth, getting ready to light it.
I exclaimed, “No smoking allowed!”
Reynaldo raised an eyebrow and looked at me.
I pursed my lips and firmly said, “In my place, smoking is not allowed. Otherwise, you have to leave!”
