Chapter 322

No need to guess; it must be Kimberly calling again. The continuous ringing of cell phones eventually affected people's interest. Reynaldo quickly grabbed the phone, hung up, and switched it to silent mode. Watching his reaction, even though the situation was interrupted, I was annoyed, yet my heart still felt a sweet pang. He hadn’t left me for Kimberly the first time; he’d even hung up on her several times to continue our affair. This kind of treatment made me feel pleasantly surprised and pampered.

He threw his phone aside, but his brows were still tightly furrowed, and his face was gloomy. It was obvious his mood was very bad. I was about to raise my hand to smooth the furrow on his forehead, but unexpectedly, he suddenly picked up the phone again. My heart cooled. So, he still can’t let go of Kimberly? He silently made a phone call, presumably to call Kimberly back.

I pursed my lips; the slight touch of emotion and tenderness that had just arisen in my heart vanished. Look, even though he was so eager, when her call came in, he couldn’t continue without distraction. I had just naively thought he would ignore Kimberly to continue our affair. Look, he just couldn’t help himself when he saw her two calls. He called Kimberly twice, but she didn’t answer. After a while, he suddenly withdrew from me and got up to get dressed. As soon as he left, I felt a chill and pulled the blanket over me. The light in the room was turned on by him. The entangled intimacy in the darkness instantly faded completely, leaving only coldness and irony. I wrapped myself in a blanket, feeling a sourness in my heart that was indescribable, and even a hint of resentment rose.

He quickly put on his clothes. He looked at me with a somewhat complex expression and said, “I will go take a look.” “Um,” I responded lightly. He pursed his lips and looked at me with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself. After a long time, he finally said, “She was not feeling well.” After saying that, he took a step and walked outside.

I clenched the bedding tightly, and the resentment in my heart surged inexplicably, unable to be suppressed. When he reached the doorway of the bedroom, I couldn’t help but sneer at his back, “Can’t you see that she has been pretending many times? Tonight she definitely called on purpose, and then deliberately didn’t answer. She was full of schemes, hypocritical and pretentious, always pretending as if she was about to die, but in the end, did she ever die? If she had really died, maybe I would have respected her a little more. This kind of woman, damn disgusting…”

“Esmeralda!” Reynaldo suddenly growled at me. He turned around and stared at me with cold eyes, saying, “Don’t say that about her. Not everyone is as healthy as you. She didn’t choose to have that illness.” Ha, as if having a healthy body was my fault. She was not healthy; that was her retribution.

“Enough!” Reynaldo was really angry, with a hint of hostility between his eyebrows. The gentle touch that was just in the darkness was like a flash in the pan. I self-deprecatingly tugged at my lips. It turned out to be fake. All the tenderness and deep affection were just my wishful thinking.

It’s ridiculous that I actually believed in the occasional tenderness shown by a man in bed because of the sunny weather!
