Chapter61
I drove the car around the neighborhood for a spin.
This car is similar to the car I had before.
My previous car was worth millions, but after my family went bankrupt. I had to use it to pay off debts.
When I came back from walking the car, Reynaldo was smoking at the door.
He lazily leaned against the door, with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his strong forearms.
The smoke filled the air, and a hint of mistiness appeared on his handsome face.
It was not until he stood up and walked towards me that I realized, to my surprise, that he seemed absent–minded.
I quickly turned off the car engine and got out of the car.
“How do you feel?” he asked me.
“Very well.” I said truthfully.
He smiled and said, “It’s good that you like it.” After a pause, he added, “Leave work early tomorrow.”
My heart trembled slightly. Tomorrow night, could he possibly want to go on a date with me?
Just as I was thinking this, I heard him say expressionlessly
“Tomorrow evening, the Humphrey family is going to host a birthday banquet for my grandmother. You will come with me to the Humphrey family’s ancestral home.”
“Me?” I looked at him in surprise. “But we no longer have any relationship, I…”
“Huh, it doesn’t matter?” Reynaldo laughed mockingly.
I hurriedly explained, “What I meant was, in the eyes of others, we have already divorced and have no relationship anymore. Would it be inappropriate for me to go?”
“There’s nothing appropriate or inappropriate,” Reynaldo exhaled a smoke ring, his tone indifferent.
I exclaimed anxiously, “There is definitely a distinction between what is appropriate and what is not. In a situation like this, it is definitely not appropriate for me to go, but it is suitable for Kimberly to go.”
Reynaldo glanced at me coldly in an instant and sneered, “Did you really think I was taking you to have fun? Now that you’re down and out, I’m only taking you to the banquet to humiliate you.”
Don’t forget, you used to mock us, the Humphrey family, with such a proud attitude.
Now that your family has gone bankrupt, do you think they wouldn’t want to take the opportunity to humiliate you?
“So, you took me to the party just to let them humiliate me?” I asked him, looking into his eyes.

He turned his face away and sneered, “So what?”
Well, between him and Kimberly, where could I possibly fit in?
Reynaldo returned to his room in the middle of the night, with a hint of alcohol on him.
He pressed on top of me and kept kissing me.
I was abruptly awakened by him, and I was so angry that I cried out, “Reynaldo, what are you doing? I want to sleep.”
He rubbed his forehead against the nape of my neck, his deep and hoarse voice carrying a hint of injury.
He said, “Can you please coax me? I am angry, and you never coax
me.”
In the darkness, I couldn’t see his face, but I could imagine the expression of pain on it.
Did he mistake me for Kimberly?
After all, during those three years of marriage, I treated him so poorly, yet he never showed the slightest sign of being hurt in front of me.
In this world, only Kimberly could make him so sad.
Lost in thought, Reynaldo suddenly kissed me haphazardly.
I exclaimed, “Reynaldo, stop messing around, I am really tired.”
