Chapter 352

I saw him leaning on the railing by the river, shaking out a cigarette from the pack and lighting it.
He took a puff of his cigarette, then turned around and leaned against the railing, watching the river.
I could only see his cold and faintly lonely figure.
The takeaway box in my arms was warm.
I lifted the lid, and the tempting aroma of the dishes wafted into my nostrils.
He packed for me dishes that I liked to eat.
A complex feeling surged in my heart.
Actually, he was always fierce when he came back, but in some small details, he also treated me well.
In moments like these, I couldn’t help but wonder if he still liked me a little bit.
However, whenever this thought came up, images of him hurting me in various ways for Kimberly would pop up in my mind.
So, those self–indulgent thoughts were all shattered.
Yes, he never admitted in person that he liked me, so how could I presumptuously guess.
Have a good meal, don’t think too much.

Thinking too much will only end up hurting your body and heart.
I was so hungry that I ate a bit quickly and finished all the food in no time.
After dinner, I felt much warmer and more energetic.
I got off the car and threw the garbage into the trash can by the river.
When I came back, I glanced at the man’s back again, hesitating whether to say a few words to him.
I thought about it, but in the end, I decided against it.
At that moment, his mood was gloomy, and anything I said could potentially anger him.
Perhaps only Kimberly could make him feel better.
I should have brought Kimberly along just now.
Although she could only cry and was not helpful in serious matters, she could still comfort Reynaldo.
Reynaldo stayed by the river for a long time without any intention of leaving.
I finally fell asleep leaning against the car.
When I woke up again, the car had already arrived at the hotel entrance.
Reynaldo got out of the car and opened the door in silence.
I wanted to call out to him, but as I looked at his indifferent back, I opened my mouth and couldn’t shout.
I got off and walked into the hotel.

209 chers.
Reynaldo walked quickly, and by the time I reached the elevator, the man had already taken it up.
I pursed my lips and looked at the reflection of myself on the elevator door, with a pale complexion and a haggard appearance.
I smiled silently, with a hint of self–mockery in my heart.
It was Kimberly who got sick, and he yelled at me to go buy medicine for Kimberly, that’s how so many things happened.
But he was harsh and cold to me, as if everything was my fault.
There was some grievance in my heart.
The elevator door opened, and I took a deep breath before stepping into the elevator.
I pushed open the door and as soon as I entered, I heard the sound of water coming from the bedroom.
The man was taking a shower.
I took off my shoes, and the pain on my feet instantly came into sharp focus.
I lowered my head and looked down. The wounds on my feet looked even worse, with the frostbitten areas all chafed and the flesh blurred with blood.
Looking at my pitiful feet and recalling last night’s experience and the man’s attitude towards me, my heart felt sour again.
Even though I was not wrong, and even though I was always thinking about their contracts and their safety, he still didn’t like me.
