Chapter 430

I stiffened all over, quickly pulling away her hand, and looked tensely at Reynaldo. Fortunately, the man’s phone rang, and he answered it on the side, as if he didn’t notice what we were talking about. I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, with a cold sweat breaking out behind me. Vonnie also realized it and quickly covered her mouth, laughing at me in surprise. I shook my head at her, indicating for her to pay more attention. She nodded in understanding. At that moment, Reynaldo’s phone call ended with his words, “I’ll come find you after the wrap-up ceremony.” From his low, gentle voice, you could tell that the person on the other end of the phone was Kimberly. Although he liked Kimberly, that fact was crystal clear to me. Every time he spoke to Kimberly so gently, I couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable and bitter in my heart. The man hung up the phone and stared at me with bright eyes, saying, “What were you talking about? I think I heard something about ‘baby’? What is that?” I was suddenly shocked in my heart, not knowing how to hide it.

Vonnie hurriedly said, “It was my dog that I raised, my little treasure. I have been busy filming recently, so I asked Ralda to take care of my little treasure for a while.” “You let a dog recognize you as its godmother?” Reynaldo’s lips twitched, looking as if he couldn’t agree. Vonnie pouted and said, “Can’t I? Nowadays, many people treat their pets like babies, what’s so strange about that?” Reynaldo gave a light snort, ignoring her, and turned to me with a dark gaze, “How come I don’t remember there being a dog in your room?” “I… it, it got sick that day, so I sent it to the pet store for boarding; the pet store has more professional feeding.” With that, I earnestly told Vonnie, “I will write down the address of that pet store for you later. When you have time, go and pick up the puppy. It must miss you a lot after all these days.” “Uh-huh,” Vonnie nodded eagerly, looking like she really missed the puppy. And so, I acted in cooperation with Vonnie, not daring to reveal any flaws. Reynaldo’s suspicion in his eyes did dissipate somewhat. Sometimes I really feel that Vonnie and I are quite good at acting. We truly deserve to be considered as the more outstanding students in that year’s drama department. Sure enough, the suspicion in Reynaldo’s eyes did dissipate a bit. He didn’t dwell on the matter, just said to me coldly, “Let’s go.” I didn’t move. I finally met Vonnie just now; I had to tell her about my current situation no matter what. Otherwise, when I go back, it may be difficult for me to come out again. I really didn’t want to live through those days of being imprisoned. I can only pin my hopes on Vonnie now. I made a pitiful look at the man in front of me. “I haven’t seen Vonnie for a long time. I want to chat with her for a while. If you have something to do, you can go ahead and I’ll stay here obediently, just don’t run around.” Vonnie looked at Reynaldo suspiciously, then at me, and after a while, she said to Reynaldo, “Yes, Mr. Humphrey, I have been so busy lately and haven’t had a good chat with Ralda for a long time. Let Ralda stay here a little longer.” Reynaldo didn’t say a word, just stared at me deeply.
