Chapter 490

When I mentioned this, Reynaldoโ€™s eyes suddenly dimmed. He hung his head low and chuckled self-deprecatingly, โ€œYou have said more than once that you hate me, that I am garbage, that I am disgusting.โ€

So, itโ€™s not that I lacked confidence, but rather that I didnโ€™t dare to say I liked you. โ€œI was afraid that if I spoke out, all I would receive from you was mockery and disdain.โ€

โ€œI, I didnโ€™t mean to say that.โ€ Although I donโ€™t remember saying those words, both Anton and Vonnie have confirmed that I did, so I must have really disliked him at some point. Not now.

I was full of him now, I felt sorry to see him like this, and I was jealous to see him with other women.

Isnโ€™t this just love?

I held his face and said seriously, โ€œIโ€™m sorry, I take back those words I said before, Reynaldo. Iโ€™m telling you now, I like you and only you.โ€

Reynaldoโ€™s face remained calm, and I couldnโ€™t tell if it was just my imagination, but there was a hint of sadness hidden in his calm eyes. He asked me, โ€œDo you really not remember when we were young, Anton and I?โ€

I shook my head in confusion. I really had no impression at all.

Before, he accused me of forgetting the promises I made to him when we were kids. I thought he had mistaken me for someone else, treating me as a substitute. Even Anton said that the three of us had conflicts when we were young, which proves that indeed I was the only one who forgot, while they all remembered.

As for that memory, why did I forget it? I think I need to go back and ask my parents or Quentin. I remember even things from elementary school; itโ€™s impossible to just leave out that memory with them.

Reynaldoโ€™s eyes darkened suddenly, and the melancholy in his eyes deepened. He suddenly chuckled and said self-deprecatingly, โ€œAlthough you have forgotten, do you know that at that time, your favorite personโ€ฆ was Anton.โ€

I stared at him in astonishment, โ€œWho said that? Besides, how could we understand emotions back then?โ€

Reynaldo lowered his eyes and smiled, that smile, self-deprecating and sad.

I got anxious and said, โ€œWait, donโ€™t tell me youโ€™re going to start overthinking again?โ€ Since you have made it clear to me now, I naturally wonโ€™t have any wild thoughts.

Just, at that time, you told me in person that you liked Anton and hated me, and didnโ€™t want to see me. โ€œSo, you forgot now, thatโ€™s why you like me. But once you remember that memory, your liking for me might shift, right?โ€

โ€œNo way!โ€ I quickly responded, โ€œDonโ€™t overthink it, how can a crush at that age be called love?โ€

Reynaldo looked at me quietly, not saying anything.

I repeatedly made my feelings clear to him: โ€œListen carefully, I like you, and I only like you in this lifetime.โ€ As for the memories of my youth, donโ€™t say that I have forgotten them now; even if I remember, it doesnโ€™t matter. After all, I was still young at that time and didnโ€™t understand emotions. The words I said couldnโ€™t be taken seriously.โ€

As soon as I finished speaking, I noticed Reynaldo staring at the door with a dark look in his eyes. I furrowed my brows, subconsciously turned my head, and saw that the door of the ward had been opened by someone at some point.

Anton was standing at the door. When I looked back, Anton smirked at me, his smile filled with sarcasm. He gave me a sarcastic look and then turned around and left.
