Chapter 212

I was about to drag the suitcase and Kimberly had already come over. grabbing my arm and saying enthusiastically, “Reynaldo and I are going to have dinner, come with us.”
“No need.” I pushed her hand away with disgust and tried to leave.
She pretended to be kind again and said, “Let Reynaldo take you, it’s not good for you to drag your suitcase, right?”
She paused for a moment, her eyes flickered, as if she remembered something, and exclaimed, “Oh no, this won’t do. You definitely haven’t found a place to stay yet, right? In that case, Reynaldo and I will accompany you to find a place to stay first, okay?”
She said and came over enthusiastically to pull my suitcase.
A surge of uncontrollable irritability and disgust instantly welled up in my heart.
I waved her hand away and shouted at her, “No need!”
This woman was really annoying.
As soon as I shouted like this, Kimberly immediately looked at Reynaldo with teary eyes.
Reynaldo squinted his eyes at me, his gaze cold and terrifying.
My heart skipped a beat as I coldly said to him, “It was her own annoyance. I told her ‘no need‘, but she insisted on bothering me. Orly you men can enjoy this kind of false kindness.”

Reynaldo squinted his eyes at me,
his
gaze cold and terrifying.
My heart skipped a beat as I coldly said to him, “It was her own
annoyance. I told her ‘no need‘, but she insisted on bothering me. Orly you men can enjoy this kind of false kindness.”
וד
“What do you mean?” Reynaldo asked me coldly.
I didn’t want to say much to him and simply said, “Literal meaning.”
“Esmeralda!”
“Reynaldo…” Kimberly hurriedly went to comfort Reynaldo, speaking softly and gently, tears still glistening in her eyes. “Don’t be angry. After all, Ms. Dufly used to be a wealthy young lady, so it’s normal for her to be proud. It’s all my fault for not being able to figure it out and constantly bothering her.”
“Miss Rich and Spoiled?” Reynaldo sneered at me with a mocking glint in his eyes. “Some people still haven’t come to terms with reality.”
I really hated it when they would sing together and humiliate me like that.
They acted as if they had nothing to do.
I took a slight breath and said softly, “I’m in a hurry, so I’ll leave first.”
After speaking. I dragged my suitcase and walked around the back of his car towards the road.
Kimberly’s affected voice of concern came from behind: “Ms. Duffy has been dragging her suitcase all day, surely because she hasn’t found a place to stay yet. Look, it’s getting dark, I’m worried about her…”
“Some people don’t know their place, if something really happened, it would be her own fault.”
The man’s indifferent voice, accompanied by the cool autumn breeze, penetrated into my heart, and the chill spread throughout my body, making me feel icy cold.
I unconsciously stroked my flat belly, feeling a sourness in my nose, and a mist of tears slowly welled up in my eyes, making the neon lights on the
roadside blurry.
Baby, would you be sad if you heard your dad say such words?
A cool breeze mixed with fine raindrops drifted in.
I stood by the roadside in confusion, watching the fallen leaves on both sides of the street being blown up by the wind, spinning around. For the first time, I realized how desolate autumn could be.
What was I doing in the past autumn‘?
I went to the bar with Lavonne, went on an autumn outing with Lavonne. went to the hot springs with my parents and brother, and played pranks on Reynaldo, bullying him and bossing him around.
A black business van drove past.
The man’s cold profile flashed by, carrying with it all those memories from the past, gradually fading away.
The sour and melancholic feeling in my heart, I took a deep breath and raised my hand to hail a taxi by the roadside.
This point was during the rush hour after work, it was easy to hail a taxi, but the road was particularly congested.
I asked the driver to take me to a neighborhood with a strong living atmosphere and relatively low prices, and it shouldn’t be too far away. It would be best if I could reach there by bus within half an hour.
The driver furrowed his brow and thought for a while before finally remembering a place.
I was staring at the time.
The traffic was quite congested on the way, and the driver took almost an
Chude:212
hour to reach the destination.
So under normal circumstances when there is no traffic, this distance should take less than half an hour.
The driver was very kind and, seeing me dragging my suitcase, probably guessed that I was looking to rent a house.
Then he pointed in several directions and said, “Over there are residential buildings, with many houses for rent. And across from that is the
vegetable market, with the night market and morning market in front of it. This area is also bustling.”
