Chapter 269

The man glanced at me coldly before I could finish my sentence. I hesitated on my last word. He frowned and said impatiently, “If you don’t speak, no one will treat you as a mute.”

“Oh.”

I looked sadly out the window. Even though Kimberly’s voice, constantly saying ‘Reynaldo’ all day long, was more annoying, he never found Kimberly annoying. I said a few words, and he found them annoying.

However, did he really like it when women used that affected voice to call him Reynaldo? Thinking of this, my head suddenly felt hot. My mouth spoke before reason: “Reynaldo…”

Sigh…

Just then I shouted at him, and he slammed on the brakes. I quickly put my hand in front of me and looked at him in shock. “Why did you suddenly stop the car?” Fortunately, it was a small road with few cars.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly and looked at me unnaturally. “What’s wrong with you, shouting like that?”

Um…

I suddenly realized I had shouted his name, ‘Reynaldo,’ in that affected voice. I bit my lip in frustration. Just now, my head was really hot. He liked Kimberly; he liked being called Kimberly. He hated me so much that when I yelled at him, I could tell he was disgusted. They were so disgusted that they had to slam on the brakes. “Don’t shout for no reason; it will affect my driving,” he earnestly lectured me.

My face burned hot and flushed. I muttered, “Even though Kimberly was calling you, it didn’t seem to affect your driving.”

“She was she; you are you. You are different from her.”

Oh! Wasn’t I different from Kimberly?

Sure enough, in his heart, Kimberly was the person he cherished, no matter how noisy she was. And I was just a tool for him to vent on—the quieter the better.

Sadly, he thought to himself, “If you’re bored, just close your eyes and rest quietly; no one will think you’re dumb.”

I turned my head to look out the window, holding back tears. I really didn’t want to talk to him anymore, unless it was work-related. The car had been stopped for half a day, and I felt like it was watching me.

I took a deep breath and turned to look at him, suppressing my emotions. In a calm tone, I asked, “Is there anything else, Mr. Humphrey, you want to teach me?”

Reynaldo stared at me without blinking. I don’t know if I’m overthinking, but often his gaze feels anything but innocent. Just like now, a flame inexplicably ignited in those black eyes.

He suddenly approached and grinned. “Actually, if you’re willing, you can shout my name like that in bed; it might be very exciting.”

“You!”

I turned my head in anger and didn’t want to talk to him. Sure enough, I hadn’t misunderstood; this man indeed has a dirty mind!

“Hehe…”

He started the car with a smile; the laughter sounded different from his usual coldness—more like genuine laughter. Because of his differential treatment of me and Kimberly, I still had a lump in my heart, so I didn’t bother to decipher his smile.

The car drove for nearly two hours before arriving at what he called the Ice Palace.
