Chapter 438

Winter is coming soon, right?

After winter sets in, it means that the new year is coming soon.

I looked out of the window blankly, not knowing how this New Year would be spent.

On New Year’s Eve in previous years, Quentin and I, along with our parents, would sit together to enjoy a rich reunion dinner. Then Mom and Dad would give Quentin and me gifts. On that night, Quentin and I would set off fireworks and exchange gifts.

Oh, and Reynaldo. During the three years of marriage, he was also there on New Year’s Eve every year. But he often just remained silent. We ate in silence, watching Quentin and me set off fireworks in silence. Even so, the eve of New Year’s Day every year was still warm and happy.

This year, the Duffy family fell apart, and Reynaldo and I had another falling out. The warm and beautiful past truly can never be returned to. Thinking of this, a touch of indescribable sadness surged in my heart.

The sound of the bathroom door opening suddenly snapped me out of my thoughts.

Chapter 439

I looked back subconsciously and saw Reynaldo walking out wrapped in a towel. After a day of arguing, his face was now cold and intimidating.

I tightened the quilt and looked at him.

Reynaldo did not look at me. He walked straight to the cabinet and poured himself a glass of red wine. That wine was brought in by him last time, and I have never drunk it. He would have a few drinks when he was in the mood, and then he would do it with me.

I bit my lip, pulled back into the covers, and then wrapped myself tightly.

But it was no use. Reynaldo came over quickly and immediately pulled back my blanket.

I hugged myself and frowned at him, “What are you doing? It’s so cold!”

Reynaldo tugged at his lips and said, “It won’t be cold for long.”

He finished speaking and instantly pressed down on me. He was tall and lean; don’t be fooled by his thinness. In fact, his body was very strong. Wrapped in this way around me, I felt a bit suffocated.

I pushed his chest and said, “So heavy!”

Reynaldo grabbed my wrist and pressed down on the top of my head, smiling at me and saying, “When you’re comfortable, why don’t you think I’m heavy?”

“Reynaldo!” I glared at him indignantly. It’s really hard to imagine that such a beautiful face, such sexy lips, would say such vulgar words.

Reynaldo tugged at his lips, bent down, and kissed me. During the day, I had an argument with him, so now he is a bit emotional, and his actions are not very gentle.

I frowned and endured, unable to help looking out of the window. It was pitch black outside, and I didn’t know when it would dawn. I suddenly realized that the nights spent with him seemed particularly unbearable.

Reynaldo didn’t know how long he had been tossing and turning. I couldn’t resist the drowsiness and fatigue; my whole body was limp, and I was on the verge of falling asleep.

He suddenly picked me up and held me close to my ear, gritting his teeth, his hoarse voice filled with deep hatred. “Ms. Duffy used to be high and mighty, but now she is graciously entertaining me, a piece of garbage. What does she feel in her heart, hmm?”

I opened my eyes groggily. Under the dim yellow light, his face appeared somewhat gentle, but the words he spoke were so cutting and sarcastic.

A stabbing pain was felt in my heart.
