His hand was especially warm; the cold was quickly replaced by comforting heat. No matter what, being led by him, I felt secure.

He started walking quickly, and I didn't dare ask him to slow down, so I jogged to keep pace. After walking for a while, he seemed to notice his pace and slowed down. I stared at his back, a warm feeling spreading through my heart.

Actually, come to think of it, Reynaldo was pretty decent to me, as long as Kimberly wasn't involved. As I was thinking this, Reynaldo suddenly turned, his eyes revealing impatience and disdain. “Why are you so slow? When will we arrive if we wait for you to finish eating?!”

I turned away silently. Forget it, I thought; let's pretend I didn't think that. There couldn't be even a flicker of good feeling towards him; he could crush it in minutes. In a fit of pique, I secretly quickened my pace.

Chapter 315

Just then, the scent of Shrimp Bisque wafted over, instantly arousing my appetite. I quickly grabbed Reynaldo. “I want to drink Shrimp Bisque.”

“Drink Shrimp Bisque?” Reynaldo was puzzled. “Can you get full from that?”

“Sure, it’s not just soup; you can eat other things too.” I dragged him toward the nearby vendor. The boss quickly and warmly wiped a bench, inviting us to sit.

I sat down. Reynaldo looked around, then took a tissue and wiped the chair and table before reluctantly sitting.

Although his face was obscured by a scarf, his disdain was evident in his actions. The boss stood by, smiling in amazement. After Reynaldo sat, the boss asked, “What would you like to eat? We have Shrimp Bisque, grilled skewers, and many other dishes. Shrimp Bisque is a specialty.”

“I’ll have two bowls of Shrimp Bisque,” I said.

“Okay,” the boss replied, then walked away. I told Reynaldo, “You know what? The best time to drink Shrimp Bisque is in autumn and winter.”

“You know again?” Reynaldo hummed lightly.

I said, “I knew, when I lived in the shanty town, many people told me to try Shrimp Bisque, saying it’s best in autumn and winter.”

“Is the ‘many people’ you mentioned referring to Trevin?” Reynaldo chuckled, his tone cool.

I pressed my lips together. I really couldn't communicate with this man normally. Forget it. I'll just keep quiet.

“Two Shrimp Bisque coming…”

Before long, the boss brought the Shrimp Bisque. He was placing a bowl in front of Reynaldo when, suddenly, the boss’s hand shook, spilling the soup directly onto Reynaldo. The boss quickly put down the bowl and took out a tissue to wipe Reynaldo. He kept apologizing, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I accidentally burned my hand, so I spilled the soup. I’m really sorry.”

“Go away!”

Reynaldo pushed away his hands and quickly wiped himself. The boss quickly said, “I’m sorry, let me treat you to this meal, I’m really… sorry.”

“Get lost!”
