Chapter 554

I took several steps back before I could finally stand firm due to inertia. At a glance, I saw Reynaldo’s cold expression. His fist by his side clenched tightly, making a cracking sound, his eyes glaring at me with a crimson hue. I sneered in my heart. He could be all lovey-dovey with Kimberly, but I couldn’t even hug Anton?

Kimberly limped over to Reynaldo, holding onto his arm, her eyes wide with surprise as she looked at me and Anton, “Are you… are you two together?”

Anton took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said nothing. I was too lazy to pay attention to her.

But she suddenly smiled and said, “Actually, I think it would be nice if Ms. Duffy could be my sister-in-law, I still…”

“Shut up!”

Kimberly had not finished speaking when Reynaldo suddenly coldly muttered at her, startling her into a shiver. Immediately, her eyes filled with tears, looking at Reynaldo with a look of grievance and pity.

"Reynaldo, what’s wrong with you? Did I say something wrong? I just saw her and Quentin hugging each other tightly, thinking they should…”

“Ralda!”

At that moment, Quentin suddenly ran over. It was at that moment that Kimberly, who had been adding fuel to the fire about me and Anton, suddenly threw herself into Reynaldo’s arms. Reynaldo was about to push her away when she suddenly clutched at her chest and said in pain, “It hurts, Reynaldo, my heart hurts.”

Reynaldo’s face changed. He gave me a deep look, then picked up Kimberly and walked towards the parking area on the side. Anton also hurriedly followed. They almost brushed past Quentin, while Kimberly kept burying her face in Reynaldo’s arms, not showing a bit of her face.

I furrowed my brows, feeling a bit strange, but couldn’t quite pinpoint what exactly was strange. Quentin stared at Kimberly for a long time, a hint of doubt flashing between his furrowed brows. After a while, he ran up to me and said, “Let’s go, my mom asked me to come pick you up.”

Quentin frowned, clearly still angry with me because of his girlfriend.

I sighed and said lightly, “No need, I can walk back by myself.”

“Esmeralda!”

Quentin frowned and scolded me impatiently, saying, “Do you really need to be mad at me? I didn’t say anything to you. I even came to pick you up in person. What else do you want?”

Oh, I’m really sorry to hear that you were wronged.

“I don’t want to either. I said I’ll just walk back by myself.”

After saying that, I walked along the side of the street. I really couldn’t be bothered to argue with him anymore. I never used to argue with him before. In the past, whenever I got angry, he would come to coax me, buy me delicious food, give me surprises, take me out to play with his friends, and go crazy.

Things are different now. It’s not that he has a girlfriend now and I feel a big gap in my heart, but I feel that some emotions really change in the blink of an eye, whether it’s friendship, love, or even family.

“Esmeralda, you really should change your bad temper!”

Quentin roared behind me. The next second, he rushed up and dragged me into his car. I stared at him gloomily and said, “Quentin, what are you doing?”

I was only two years older than Quentin, and whenever I got angry, I liked to call him by his name. He gave me a glare and pushed me into the driver’s seat without saying a word.
