Chapter 164
“I never expected someone like you, a pampered young lady who has always lived a comfortable life, to live in a place like this.”
I self–mockingly pursed my lips and said, “I haven’t been a wealthy young lady for a long time. What’s funny is that I have already accepted this change in my identity, but Mr. Humphrey seems to be oblivious to reality.”
Reynaldo didn’t say anything, he suddenly walked towards me.
He was already tall and had a strong presence.
Standing in front of me like this, that intimidating sense of oppression came back.
I unconsciously stepped back.
However, as I took a step back, he took a step forward.
Finally, he backed me into a corner.
He leaned against the wall, trapping me between him and the wall, his pair of dark and heavy eyes staring at me without blinking.
I opened my eyes in panic and asked him, “What on earth are you going
to do?”
I had already made it clear to him in the restroom of the restaurant just now that I couldn’t go back with him.
What did he really want to do?

Reynaldo looked down at me, his warm breath hitting my face one after another.
My heart was racing, and I bent down, wanting to escape.
His arm, however, slid down and stopped me again.
I looked at him with annoyance, “Reynaldo…”
Reynaldo smirked, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was just my imagination, but there seemed to be a hint of hurt in his dark, brooding
eyes.
Looking at the coldness and sarcasm in his eyes and eyebrows, I felt like I was overthinking it.
Reynaldo asked me, “You would rather live in a place like this than come back and live in the mansion with me?”
“Yes!”
I answered firmly and decisively.
Whether it was for myself or for my baby, I could not go back and endure his unstable emotions and his perverted–like humiliation.
Reynaldo laughed again.
He lowered his gaze, and this time I couldn’t see the emotions in his eyes.
He felt a little strange tonight.
After a moment, he chuckled self–deprecatingly at me and said, “It seems like you really dislike me, and what you said to me that night… it was also fake.”
The four words ‘also fake‘ carried a hint of resentment.”
“That thing,” you were referring to me, right?”
looked at him in confusion and blinked my eyes twice.
I seemed to know which sentence he was referring to.
But what I said was about the king crab, how did he mistakenly identify himself?
I laughed speechlessly and awkwardly, saying, “Mr. Humphrey, please don’t always have such wild thoughts. I was referring to crabs.”
“Ha! Crabs?”
Reynaldo chuckled lightly, clearly not believing it.
I
was completely convinced by him too. I don’t like listening to people explain without speaking, and he always loves to daydream.
muttered, “I was talking about crabs, if you don’t believe me, forget it.”
“Look, you had that indifferent attitude again.”
Reynaldo chuckled lightly, a cold and dangerous gleam flickering in his
eyes.
His large hand, which had been leaning against the wall, suddenly came to my neck.
His fingertips had a slight callus, and his fingers rubbed against my neck
