Chapter 10 He Isn’t That Bad

“Hello? Who’s this?”

“Ralda…”

The gentle voice made my heart skip a beat.

It was Winston.

He sounded so sad. “You wouldn’t even answer my calls now?”

“What’s up?” I asked.

In fact, Winston and I had never officially been on a date before.

And we had never promised each other anything. All that had ever existed was some indescribable feeling.

But, still, I couldn’t help but feel apologetic and guilty when talking to

him.

Hesitant, he asked, “Last night… Are you OK?”

Chances were, he heard my moans of pleasure last night, and of course, he knew what had happened.

I pursed my lips and said, “Yes. It’s just… what happens between adults.”

He suddenly fell silent, and all I could hear was his slightly uneven. breaths.

Our feelings for each other in the early days had somehow turned out to be our burden.

Chapter 10 He Isn’t That Bad

I wanted to hang up. “If this is all…”

“Ralda, let’s meet,” he interrupted me, his sadness palpable.

As Reynaldo’s warning echoed in my ears, I had to brace myself and turn him down. I said, “I’m sorry, but I’m not feeling well and want to go to bed early.”

He smiled bitterly, “Ralda, you don’t even wanna see me now? Maybe… nothing will ever happen between us, but at least we should talk things out. Don’t you think?”

He was right. We indeed should make something clear.

Only then could I completely shatter all the hopes he held for us.

But Reynaldo had clearly warned me…

“Ralda, please. I know you don’t wanna meet me alone, so I’ve invited Vonnie to join us.

“Think of it as catching up with your classmates from the old days. OK?”

He sounded so humble and sad, which made me even guiltier.

I sighed, “Tell me the address.”

It was a restaurant.

Stepping inside, I saw both Lavonne and Winston waiting for me.

“Ralda, you’re here. Don’t just stand there; come here and take a seat.”

Upon seeing me, Winston stood up at once and walked over.

I dodged his hand and sat next to Lavonne.

He stared at his hand for a long time, the dejection on his face made me

feel bad.

Right after I sat down, Lavonne wrapped her arm around my shoulders. and asked worriedly, “Why did you go back last night without telling us? Are you OK?

“It’s summer. What’s it with the long sleeves and high collar? Aren’t you roasting?”

When saying this, she reached out to tug at my collar.

I quickly held her hand down and smiled, “I’ve got a bit of a cold.”

Looking up. I happened to meet Winston’s complicated look.

I averted my gaze awkwardly and couldn’t help but curse Reynaldo inwardly. Why did he have to leave so many hickeys on my body, my neck especially? I didn’t dare to show it in front of the others at all.

Winston stood up and fetched me some water.

Meanwhile, Lavonne grinned. “Winston, you’re as sweet to Ralda as always. You’ve always been the best to her. If you…”

“Vonnie,” I interrupted her.

I needed to clarify things with them to avoid any misunderstandings.

Looking at them, I said seriously, “I’ve fallen for Reynaldo.”
