Claimed by My First Love’s Brother Novel

Chapter 11 Don't Be Afraid of Him I froze right on the spot . The voice … The laugh …. It was Reynaldo ! I couldn't believe how unlucky I was . How come I ran into him everywhere ? I was totally screwed . Reynaldo , in a suit , stood not far away from us , exuding an air of refined nobility . A mere look from him was intimidating enough . He used to be a meek pushover , yet now , he was such a big shot , and no one could afford to mess with him .

I couldn't help but sigh again , finding it hard to believe he was the man I used to marry . Lavonne had always been the one who disliked him the most . Whenever his name was brought up , she was always indignant . Yet , now , perhaps stunned by his imposing presence , she didn't say a thing . Winston chuckled . " Reynaldo , weren't you at the hospital ? " I was surprised . Reynaldo went to the hospital ? Was he hurt ?

" Chapter 11 Dont Be Afraid of Him I couldn't help but size him up but didn't see any wound . Thinking back to how wild he was in bed , I didn't think he was injured anywhere . Then there was only one possibility . Kimberly was hospitalized , and he was with her . No wonder he was so horny ; she was injured and couldn't satisfy him . Reynaldo had already walked over while I was lost in thought . He looked at me , his sullen look sending a chill down my spine .

I dipped my head , not daring to explain . Lavonne leaned closer to me , whispering in my ear , " Is this really Reynaldo ? The meek pushover ? His temperament has changed so much . I can't even look him in the eye . Gee , being rich does change people , huh ? " His temperament wasn't the only thing that had changed , OK ? Other than his physical appearance , everything else about him had changed ! I smiled awkwardly at her , not saying a word .

Reynaldo stared at me dangerously for quite a while before turning back to Winston and asking him again , " You offered to help her . On what capacity ? " Winston glanced at me gently and then said unhurriedly , " It depends on Ralda . " Reynaldo sneered . 1305 % Chapter 11 Dont Be Afraid of Him Clearly , he was upset . Then he looked at me again and said before I could say anything , " Did you hear that ? It depends on you . In what capacity do you expect him to repay the debt for you ?

" Though he maintained a smile while asking me this , his eyes and smile were devoid of any emotion . I grew nervous and said , " Don't get the wrong idea . I've never thought of asking him to help me . " " Ralda … " Winston looked at me with distress in his eyes . " Don't be afraid of him . You have me . If you don't wanna owe him anything , I'll pay him back no matter the amount . " Lavonne chimed in indignantly , " Exactly . He took advantage of you in the first place .

If it weren't for him , Winston and you … " Suddenly , Reynaldo turned to look at her . Instantly , her voice trailed off and eventually became totally inaudible . I totally got it - Reynaldo's gaze was truly terrifying , reminding one of a predator . Lavonne tugged at my hand under the table discreetly and whispered in my ear , " Is this really Reynaldo ? Are you sure he doesn't have a lost twin ? " I pulled a wry smile . She had a richer imagination than me .

As the atmosphere was utterly tense , Winston suddenly said to Reynaldo , " Tell me . How much did you pay for her family ? I came back a bit late , or you wouldn't have had the chance to help her at all . " Chapter 11 Don't Be Afraid of Hm " Oh , really ? " Reynaldo sneered . " If not me , it certainly wouldn't have been you . " Winston retorted firmly , " I don't think so . If I had been in the country , Ralda would have come to me first . " Ask for Winston's help ?

I didn't know whether I'd do it . Hypothetical questions didn't have definite answers . Reynaldo's expression darkened even more . He tapped the edge of the table with his slender finger , his seemingly casual appearance radiating coldness . The atmosphere gradually grew more tense and oppressive . I became more and more uneasy as the sounds of him tapping the table echoed in my ears . Unable to bear it anymore , I wrapped my arms around his arm and smiled at him fawningly , " Have you eaten ?

Why don't we go home ? I cooked for you today . " He looked at me expressionlessly . Then he said mockingly , " Go home ? You always snuck out to meet someone as soon as I left . Would you be willing to go home ? " I was at a loss for words to refute . After all , he wasn't exactly wrong . Explanations seemed unnecessary . Chapter 11 Don't Be Afraid of Him Reynaldo brushed my hands away indifferently and said to me with a half - smile , " Sorry for disturbing your party .

" With that , he glanced at me meaningfully and then stood up to leave . His tall figure exuded an indescribable coldness . Panicked , I subconsciously wanted to chase after him . Winston pulled me . " Ralda , why are you playing up to him so fawningly ? You weren't like this in the past . " Lavonne sighed , " Can you blame her ? Reynaldo has changed . He seems so scary . Besides , she owes him money . " " How much ? I'll help you . " Winston looked at me seriously .

I had told him that I had feelings for Reynaldo , but he still held hopes up for us . Realizing this , I was a bit irritated . I gently brushed his hand away and said to him earnestly , " Winston , thank you . I mean it . But this is between Reynaldo and me , so I hope you can leave this to me . OK ? " He stepped back dejectedly , took a deep breath , and said to me , " You said you loved him , but … Do you know he already has someone he loves ? " I was stunned ; Winston knew Kimberly , too ?

Meanwhile , he continued , " She means a lot to him . To him , she's so special that no one can be compared to her . " " You mean Kimberly ? " I asked . Chapter 11 Dont Be Afraid of Him A trace of surprise flashed across his face , and then he looked even more dejected . " You knew her ? Then how come you still fell for him ? Ralda … " He gripped my shoulders anxiously . " Listen to me . Cut all ties with him . I don't wanna see you end up heartbroken . " Lavonne nodded in agreement .

I was utterly upset as his words " She's so special that no one can be compared to her " kept echoing in my ears . If she meant that much to Reynaldo , why did he sleep with me ? Was it really just to humiliate me ? My mind was in turmoil . I pried Winston's hand away and said in a low voice , " You don't have to worry about me . I promise I won't end up heartbroken . I'm sure of it . " Promises were always easy to say , but only a few could actually keep them .

As I strode out of the restaurant , I was glad to see Reynaldo's car at the entrance . I shook my head to get rid of those troubled thoughts , got into the car quickly , and smiled at him cheekily , " Why are you still here ? Are you waiting for me ? " He glanced sideways at me and said , his voice extremely flat .
