Chapter80
I wrapped the quilt around myself and slept with the light on.
Even though I was very tired and exhausted, I couldn’t sleep soundly. I would be awakened by even the slightest noise.
When I woke up again, it was a little after three in the morning.
It seems that I didn’t sleep for long either.
I stared at the ceiling and spaced out for a while, when suddenly I faintly heard bursts of noise coming from the yard.
I quickly got up and pulled back the curtains to look outside.
The old courtyard, which was originally pitch black, brightened up.
There were many people moving back and forth in the courtyard, and it was unclear what they were doing.
I watched for a while, but I couldn’t figure out what they were doing, so I went back to bed.
As long as the matter did not involve me, it was fine.
I looked at the clock on the wall and for the first time, I felt that the night was so long.
If it weren’t for the difficulty in getting a taxi at this spot, I would have also wanted to go back.
Anyway, since Reynaldo has already left, it doesn’t matter whether I stay or not, he won’t care.
I suddenly felt so foolish.
When Reynaldo hurriedly left just now, I should have followed him. and asked him to give me a ride back on his way.
Forget it, stop thinking about it, that man wouldn’t be so kind–hearted.
I turned over and forced myself to go back to sleep when suddenly, there came a series of urgent knocks on the door.
I was on edge and asked, “Who is it?”
“Ms. Duffy, something has happened, please come out.”
I furrowed my brows.
What happened to the Humphrey family that made me go out?
What does the Humphrey family’s matter have to do with me?
“Ms. Duffy?”
Seeing that I did not respond, there was another round of urgent knocking at the door.
The knocking sound made my heart race.
Although Reynaldo made me angry, I still wished he could be by my side at that moment. At least he was a member of the Humphrey family, so I wouldn’t feel so anxious.
“Ms. Duffy, could you come out for a moment, Ms. Duffy?”
“Oh dear, stop wasting time talking to her, go get the spare key.”
