Chapter 275

What I saw astonished me. The tourists frantically photographed the scene with their phones. Stunned for a few seconds, I quickly joined them, snapping several pictures before finally appreciating the magnificent ice sculpture dragon. This trip was worthwhile; Reynaldo missed a real treasure of this town palace. It's okay; I'll show him the photos later.

The Zhen Gong Palace treasures were only open for ten minutes. Five minutes passed, and the viewing area filled with people. Fearing a chaotic rush, I left three minutes early. I didn't know if Reynaldo had bought the milk tea.

Walking back, I heard a loud, urgent shout. My heart leaped; I looked up to see Reynaldo striding toward me, his face stern. "Weren't you told to wait? Where did you run off to?" he demanded. "Esmeralda, why are you so disobedient? Sometimes, I wish I could break your legs!"

He began yelling as he approached, his chest heaving with anger. Waiting for him to finish, I cautiously explained, "Don't be angry, I just saw the town palace treasure." Excited by its grandeur, I quickly grabbed his arm, urging, "It shouldn't be over yet! Hurry and see it—even a glance is worth it!"

"Enough!" he retorted, shaking off my hand. He glared, saying, "You always do this—going wherever you want, never considering my feelings. Everything seems more important to you than me."

I stared blankly. What happened to him? I only admired the palace treasure while he was buying milk tea. He was so angry, he even said everything was more important than him. I started to speak, but he shoved the milk tea into my hand and walked away.

"Reynaldo…" I called, but he ignored me, his back cold and distant. Reynaldo, what's wrong? Holding the warm milk tea, I felt melancholy. He always seems angry, irritable when he's with me. This is probably how it feels to be with someone you despise.

But why does he dislike me so much, yet still want me to see the ice sculptures? Why not Kimberly? Is it because she's frail and he fears she'll catch a cold? He disappeared quickly into the crowd.

Dismissing my worries, I caught up, deciding to forget everything else. Coaxing him is the priority; the journey back will be unbearable otherwise. The Huihui Town Palace treasure display had ended.
