Chapter 73
I was so scared that my whole body trembled, and I didn’t dare to say a word.
He took a deep breath and said coldly, “My grandmother still doesn’t know that we got divorced, so you better not say anything
inappropriate in front of her.”
“Why didn’t you tell her then?”
Thinking about what Danielle had just said to me, I was filled with confusion and couldn’t help but ask him, “Why don’t you make it clear to her that I have no relationship with anymore, and that the
person you actually like is Kimberly?”
You
Reynaldo suddenly approached me, looking down on me with a sneer. “Do you wish she knew? You wouldn’t even want to act as her daughter–in–law, huh?”
“No, why should I go and play the role of her daughter–in–law? It’s better to clarify everything and avoid bigger misunderstandings, isn’t
it?”
“Huh, avoiding a bigger misunderstanding?” Reynaldo sneered, sarcastically saying, “Are you afraid that if the misunderstanding gets bigger, it will be difficult to be with Winston in the future?”
“No, I never thought that way.”
I actually think there was a big misunderstanding, and he couldn’t be with Kimberly openly and honestly in the future.
Reynaldo looked at me with cold eyes, filled with sneers and disbelief.
Chapter 3
I lowered my gaze sadly and suddenly felt weary in my heart.
It seems that no matter what I said, he would not believe.
Just because I treated him badly in the past, he completely lost trust in me and didn’t even give me a chance?
I took a breath and asked in a low voice, “Reynaldo, do you really despise me?”
Reynaldo didn’t say anything, but I could feel the chill emanating from
him.
I said sadly, “If that’s the case, why did you still say so many good things about me in front of my grandmother, and even speak well of my family? Clearly, we…”
“Wondering about the reason?”
Reynaldo lowered his gaze and looked at me,
and looked at me, his eyes cold as ice. “My grandmother has always had poor health, and two years ago, that serious illness almost took her life.”
Her biggest wish was for me to be well and have a happy and fulfilling marriage. Naturally, I had to share only good news with her and not worry her. I couldn’t do anything to upset her or make her worry.
I instantly understood in my heart.
It was the reason.
“So…” Reynaldo suddenly grabbed my collar, looking at me coldly, “Even if you don’t want to be my wife, don’t want to be her
granddaughter–in–law, you still have to pretend in front of her, for my
sake!”
He finished speaking and then pushed me away.
I hurriedly stepped back, my back hitting the wall hard, causing some pain, but not as much as the pain in my heart.
I looked at him with bloodshot eyes and sadly smiled, “Reynaldo, we really shouldn’t have gotten married back then.”
Back then, we were simply mistaken by everyone for having a relationship.
Actually, if we didn’t get married, it wouldn’t have made much difference, at most it would have just damaged my and his reputation.
Compared to the pain I was experienced, damage to my reputation was nothing.
If it weren’t for that marriage, perhaps I would still be a carefree and happy single girl, going to work and hanging out with Lavonne, how
nice.
There would also be no present sadness and the pain of unrequited love.
That three–year marriage was a mistake, a huge mistake.
A hint of complexity quickly flashed through Reynaldo’s dark eyes.
He impatiently tugged at his tie and smiled at me gently, “Regretting it, huh? Unfortunately, regret won’t do you any good. For the rest of your life, you won’t be able to escape from the palm of my hand.”
Look, how he hated me..
This life never let me go.
When Reynaldo took me downstairs, it was lively downstairs.
Everyone danced, drank, and there were also troupes performing
shows.
As soon as Reynaldo arrived, he was pulled aside by the relatives of the Humphrey family to talk.
Several people raised their glasses to Reynaldo, presumably trying to please him and get him to assign them a few projects.
I looked around in the yard.
Danielle was dressed in formal attire and was sitting in the front row, thoroughly enjoying the play.
I smiled.
Danielle was really good, I really hope she could live a long and healthy life, until she reaches a hundred years old.
I silently blessed Danielle in my heart and then found a secluded
corner to sit down.
Although Reynaldo brought me here with the intention of having the Humphrey family humiliate me and let the Humphrey family vent their
anger.
