Chapter67
In the Humphrey family, it seems that only Winston treated me well. only Winston would worry about me and care for me.
But there was no way, I couldn’t let Reynaldo misunderstand anymore.
The lady of high social status came over and grabbed Winston, angrily saying, “Enough, didn’t you see that she didn’t want to talk to you at all? Why are you trying to get close to her when she clearly doesn’t want anything to do with you?”
Ha, she was just a destitute rich girl, an abandoned woman that no one wanted. She really thought she was someone special.
“Mom, please don’t say that about Esmeralda.”
Winston turned to the noblewoman and said a sentence, then looked at me, and sadly asked, “Ralda, did I do something wrong and cause trouble for you? I’m sorry, I…”
“No, it’s none of your business. It’s my own problem.”
I interrupted him hastily and said, “Thank you for your concern just now, but I’m really fine.”
At the staircase, Reynaldo coldly huffed and walked upstairs.
I ignored Winston and hurriedly chased after Reynaldo.
My knees were throbbing with pain, and when I turned the corner of the stairs, I couldn’t bear the agony any longer and collapsed onto the
handrail
Reynaldo, who was walking ahead, stopped.
He turned around and looked down at me, his brows and eves filled with coldness and indifference. “Since it hurts so much, why didn’t you show it in front of Winston? Are you afraid that he will feel sorry for you?”
I held onto the armrest tightly and remained silent.
He walked down step by step, sneering at me coldly, “Unfortunately, your performance means nothing to me. I am not Winston. I won’t feel sorry for you.”
Yeah, he didn’t care about me.
Where would there be a sugar daddy who would cherish a trivial plaything in their hands?
I smiled at him and said, “I never thought of making you feel sorry either.”
After saying that, I gritted my teeth and stood up straight, slowly making my way upstairs.
He stared at me coldly for a long time, brushed past my shoulder, and walked away without looking back.
I stared at his cold back, and a touch of sour wetness welled up in my eyes again.
The guests and the servants gathered downstairs, while the second Пloor remained quiet.
The quaint buildings showed signs of age.
Reynaldo stood in front of a door.
He looked at me coldly, with a hint of impatience between hist eyebrows.
I bit my lower lip, endured the pain in my knees, and quickened my
pace.
Finally, I reached him and he coldly said to me. “Be careful with your words later. If you make my grandmother unhappy. I won’t spare you.”
I took a slight breath and said without any expression, “Then why did you make me come up here, only to leave me down there for them to humiliate and vent their anger on me? Wouldn’t it be better?”
Reynaldo narrowed his eyes coldly and lightly scoffed, “You wanted to stay downstairs and be with Winston, right?”
I didn’t speak, and I didn’t even want to explain.
He didn’t believe me and insisted on doubting whether there was anything between me and Winston. Well, I couldn’t do anything about
- it.
Seeing that I remained silent, he suddenly approached me, his tall figure blocking the light behind him, making him appear even more gloomy and terrifying.
I unconsciously took a step back.
He slightly bent down and said to me coldly. “Ilumiliation, of course, they deserve to be humiliated, but the first thing you need to do is… apologize to my grandmother.”
I looked at him in astonishment.
Apology?
Why should I apologize to his grandmother? I don’t think I did. anything wrong to his grandmother.
I looked at him with a puzzled expression on my face.
Reynaldo suddenly laughed ominously and sneered, “I’ve always said that Ms. Duffy has a terrible memory. It’s only been two years, and you’ve already forgotten how you insulted my grandmother back then?”
Two years ago? Insult his grandmother?
I carefully recalled and was suddenly shocked.
Was it, that one time?
That day, he hurriedly came back from outside, grabbed me, and said he wanted to take me back to the Humphrey family.
At that time, it had only been a year since I had married him, and I felt nothing but disgust and resistance towards him. I would get annoyed whenever I saw him.
And I had also heard a lot of rumors about the Humphrey family back then.
I heard that the Humphrey family has been living off their parents for a long time. Not only does Ronan lack any ability, but there are also constant scandals surrounding him.
