Chapter 438 He's So Into Her

Reina looked straight at him and said, "But all I want is a marriage certificate that can put a label on our relationship. You can give me everything, but you can also take it back.

"Only what I earn by myself belongs to me.

"I don't want to be your mistress or a pet raised by you who can only beg for food by wagging my tail."

Jaylon looked down at her. His eyes were deep and dark. "I gave you some time to think about it. Is it all you can think of after half a month?"

If she kept her previous opinion and even disliked him more by the day, then what was the point of giving her some time?

Reina noticed that he was gloomy and was worried that it would affect her plan if he got angry. She could only soothe him, "Sorry, I was agitated just

now.

"I felt bad when they humiliated me."

Jaylon gazed at her and faintly sensed that her attitude was a little strange.

But in front of Reina, Jaylon would always compromise when she showed her tenderness and pain.

As long as she gave in, he would no longer harp on it.

He changed the topic. "I've asked my men to investigate what you said to me this morning. Your mother found out about us after listening to the gossip from a few of my subordinates.

"I will bring them to you later. You can do whatever you want to punish them."

"No need. They didn't do it on purpose. Besides, if there was nothing inappropriate happening between you and me, we wouldn't have been talked about."

"Are you blaming me?"

"No, Mr. Malpas. You assume too much."

The timbre of Reina's voice was even, the pace was steady, unrushed. Apparently, she was in a mood.

But Jaylon did not have any intention of coaxing her.

He could not make her happy by coaxing her with just a few words. He

could only wait for her to grind up her feelings all by herself.

Jaylon asked, "What did Vincent say to you today? You seem to have chatted for a long time."

Reina paused and said, "What else could he say? I said that it was over between him and me. I won't have an affair with him. You can rest assured."

After saying this, she turned around and went upstairs, leaving Jaylon with no chance to say anything else. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

When Reina returned to her office, she sent a few more messages to Lacey, asking about her whereabouts. She also asked Lacey to text back.

However, before she got Lacey's reply, she received a message from the middle-aged woman she met this morning. The woman said that she had found Lacey and that since this matter would be handled privately, Lacey might not be able to come home tonight.

The woman was still wandering around like a chick with its head cut off in the morning. How could she find Lacey so soon? Reina guessed that it should be Jaylon who helped her.

Jaylon was very unreasonable, but he was indeed into her and cared for her.

In the evening, Jaylon came to pick her up from work as usual.

After getting in the car, she thanked him.

Jaylon nodded lightly and asked her, "Where do you want to go for dinner?"

Reina said without hesitation, "I want to go home."

As she spoke, she tried to open the car door.

It was locked.

Jaylon started the car. His slender hands casually rested on the steering wheel. The veins on the back of his hands were like roots, and his fingers were well-defined, which looked sexy and steely.

"I made reservations tonight at a restaurant. You'll like it."

"Since you made a reservation, why did you ask me?"

Jaylon did not answer. Apparently, he just went through the motions.

Reina fell silent and looked at the scenery outside the car window.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

The restaurant was on the 20th floor of a modern trading building. The two

of them got out of the car and walked towards the gate.

Jaylon thought that Reina's foot had not yet recovered, so he slackened his pace and led her forward slowly.

At first, Reina only thought that he was walking at a normal speed. It was

only when she noticed that many people walked past them, and even the old lady in her late eighties walked faster than them that she realized that Jaylon was caring for her.

Reina tilted her head slightly and looked at the expressionless man beside her. She quickly looked away.

No matter how nicely he treated her in detail, he never regarded her as an individual worthy of respect in their relationship.

Entering the building, Reina saw a few familiar figures waiting for the

elevator from a distance.

When Reina was still wondering if it was Anaya, the girl turned around and

saw her.

When their eyes met, Anaya smiled at her and greeted, "Hello, Reina."

Beside Anaya stood Hearst as well as her parents.

Reina also smiled at her as a greeting.

Anaya glanced at Jaylon beside Reina, and the smile on her face faded a

little.

When Anaya was abroad, she had heard that Jaylon and Nadia were engaged. However, she had too many things to deal with at that time, so she did not have the time to inquire about it.

After a long time, Jaylon and Reina seemed to have lost contact, so Anaya

did not mention it again.

Now that Anaya saw the two of them appear together and Reina didn't look good, she realized that something was wrong.

Anaya said to Jaylon, "Jaylon, what are you doing with Reina?"

"We're going to have dinner together." Jaylon stopped in front of Anaya but

didn't answer her question. He said in a low voice, "Aren't you at home?"

This afternoon, Anaya called him and asked him to go home for dinner. He thought they would eat at home, but he didn't expect to meet them here.

There were many people around and their parents were present. Jaylon didn't want to say much, so Anaya didn't ask again but explained, "Mom and Dad will go back to Canada in a couple of days. We wanted to try the local dishes in Boston, so we came over. Do you want to join us?"

Since they had met, Jaylon casually agreed.

Carlee's gaze lingered on Reina for a few seconds before asking her son,

"Carlee, who is this?"

Jaylon answered vaguely, "My friend."

Hearing this, Carlee did not say anything else.

The elevator door opened and they went upstairs together.

After entering the private room, Hearst casually pulled out a chair for Anaya

and sat down beside her.

Anaya was worried that Reina would be uneasy, so she asked Reina to take

the seat with her left hand. In this way, they could chat during dinner.

The food here was cooked in advance. After they sat down, the waiter began to serve the dishes.

Reina rarely came to such a fancy restaurant. In addition to her special identity, she was a little reserved when facing Jaylon's parents. When Carlee asked Hearst about the arrangements for their honeymoon trip, Reina looked down at the table and concentrated on eating.

Just now when the dishes were served, the waiter only brought in wine.

Hearst ordered a drink for Anaya, and soon the waiter came in with a cup.

The waiter was a young girl, and seemingly she was not used to her work.

When the waiter served Anaya the drink, she accidentally bumped into

Reina, who was next to her, causing the spoon in Reina's hand to fall to the

ground. The waiter realized that she had bumped into someone, so she quickly picked up the spoon and apologized in a panic.

Reina said, "It's okay." Just as she was about to ask the waiter to bring her a

new spoon, a hand reached over and put a new spoon on her plate.
