Chapter 445

As long as I could use obesity to cover up the fact that I was pregnant.

Perhaps my earlier words, “beggars can’t be choosers,” angered him.

Reynaldo was not in a good mood and kept bothering me until late at night.

After being intimate so many times, I gradually learned how to please him. If I pleased him in bed, his actions would be much gentler, and I would feel much better.

I pursed my lips, struggled to lift my body, and climbed onto his shoulders. The gloom between the man’s eyebrows was clearly dissipating.

I took the initiative to kiss his lips, kiss his earlobes, and kiss his Adam’s apple. His eyes darkened, and he continued with his actions.

I held onto his neck, whispered in his ear, and begged softly. “It’s been a long time, I can’t bear it anymore, can you… end it quickly?” I took the initiative to kiss him and cater to him.

Crying and begging him was useless, scolding him was useless, and struggling was even more useless. But asking him to please him like this had a very obvious effect.

I felt Reynaldo’s movements slow down, and then he whispered a word in my ear, “Okay.”

After about half an hour, the man was finally satisfied. He held me tightly and didn’t move for a while. I had no strength left, so I let him hold me in his arms and soon fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, I felt someone was scrubbing my body. The action was very gentle. I thought it was a dream; after all, Reynaldo couldn’t possibly be so attentive and gentle towards me.

I don’t know how long I had been sleeping when I was suddenly awakened by Reynaldo’s voice. I opened my eyes groggily.

The room was not lit, but the light was still sufficient, with sunlight streaming in through the crack in the curtains. Reynaldo was wearing a robe, standing by the window and making a phone call. His tone was very flat. “Can we confirm now that the movie won’t be released?”

I frowned deeply. Is that movie not going to be released? What does it mean? Was he talking about Winston’s play?

“He must have been working in vain, so he must be going crazy.”

“It doesn’t matter, the money I invested is nothing to me.”

“He thought the market was easy to navigate just because he saw me succeed. Well, this incident can be considered a lesson for him.”

My heart sank heavily. What he said sounded like the play Winston was in! But how could this happen? The wrap-up ceremony of that movie had already been held, and Vonnie had also mentioned that it would be released in these few days. How could it suddenly not be released?

What happened exactly?

With a puzzled look in his heart, Reynaldo had just finished the call and was turning around to look in this direction. I accidentally made eye contact with him.

My heart skipped a beat. I didn’t open my eyes first; I sat up with the blanket wrapped around me.

He walked over and asked in a casual tone, “Are you awake?”

“Hmm.”

My body was still sore, and my throat was dry and uncomfortable.

I lowered my gaze, and the ambiguous traces on my chest instantly caught my eye. I knit my brows, silently pulled up the blanket, and was about to ask him about the play.

But he suddenly gave a light sigh and turned to the bathroom. I opened my mouth, wanting to call out to him, but in the end, I didn’t.
