Chapter 435

Ah, indeed it was the folly of youth. If time could turn back, I would absolutely not curse at him like that.

Reynaldo quickly finished the remaining half-cigarette. I walked around the back of the car, opened the door, and got in. The air in the car was fine. He opened the car window wide, and as soon as the car started moving, the slight smell of smoke inside dissipated. The wind blew in, quite cold. I adjusted my fox fur capelet and quietly opened the window a little.

At this moment, Reynaldo’s cold voice suddenly sounded beside me, “You are seven minutes late, do you have nothing to explain?”

I was taken aback; he was indeed angry because of this.

I said flatly, “I was chatting with Vonnie and lost track of time for a while.”

“Huh!” The man chuckled lightly, his icy tone mocking, “Have you lost track of time chatting with Lavonne, or have you been chatting with Anton so engrossed, hmm?”

I furrowed my brows. So, Anton just saw the scene where he was talking to me? I suddenly didn’t feel like explaining anything either. Similar things have happened too many times, and he never believed me once. He always suspected that I had something going on with other men. In that case, I have nothing more to say.

I said quietly, “Think whatever you want.”

Silence. A long silence. The only sound in the ears was the whistling of the cool wind pouring in through the car window, which made people feel anxious.

For a long time, Reynaldo finally turned his head to look at me, those eyes, dark and terrifying, exuding a frightening coldness. He raised his lips, with a smile that was not a smile; his tone was very calm, but inexplicably made people anxious. He said, “You see, now you don’t even want to explain to me.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to explain to you, it’s just… every time I explain, you just don’t believe me,” I said calmly.

He smiled, his tone still calm, but with a hint of sarcasm. “Is it that I refused to believe, or that you lied so habitually?”

There was a wall in my heart. In the end, in his eyes, I was nothing but a complete fraud. I lowered my head and really didn’t want to say anything more, just feeling very tired in my heart.

He didn’t say anything else, just slightly turned his head and looked out the window. From my perspective, his tight jaw exuded a touch of gloom, and there seemed to be an indescribable sadness lingering around him.

Suddenly I remembered Vonnie’s words. I tightened the hands held together and spoke softly, “Reynaldo, um, do you still have any impression of me when I was studying?”

I have to make sure that part of the reason he is retaliating against me now is because I called him garbage. If his initial reason for hating me was truly because I called him trash, then I am willing to sincerely apologize to him, only hoping that his hatred towards me can be lessened in his heart.

“In college, were we in the same class?” Seeing that he didn’t react, I couldn’t help but say another sentence.

He then looked at me again, with a tone of extreme sarcasm, “You actually remember that we were in the same class. I thought in your student days, besides Winston, there was no one else in your memory.”

“No, I remember you, I have always remembered.”

“Is it because I am Winston’s older brother that you know of my existence?”
