Chapter 74 But at that moment , the Humphrey family was celebrating a banquet , and no one really noticed me . However , even if Reynaldo didn't say anything , I couldn't leave . There were pastries and drinks on the table . I took a piece of cake and silently ate a few bites until I was full . Bored and absentmindedly scrolling through my phone , a shadow suddenly cast over in front of me .. I instinctively looked up and saw Winston .
Winston looked at me quietly , with a few traces of sadness and hurt in his expression . Before he spoke , I quickly stood up and wanted to leave . The more I am around the Humphrey family , the more I want to avoid him . Now , all I wanted was for Ralda to quietly wait until the end of the banquet and then leave . I really , really don't want to create any more troubles . However , as soon as I got up , Winston grabbed my arm .
His handsome face was filled with a wounded expression : " Ralda , do you really hate seeing me like this ? " " No. " I forcefully pushed his hand away and said to him seriously , " It's 17 not that I hate seeing you , but you know , because of the relationship I have with your older brother , we have to avoid suspicion within the Humphrey family . Otherwise , they will gossip .
" " But you had already divorced my elder brother , it doesn't matter anymore , they all know , " Winston said urgently . I shook my head , " Actually , whether your eldest brother and I have divorced or not , we are no longer suitable to meet each other . I already made it clear to you last time . " " Ralda … " " Really , please don't do this anymore . I know you are worried about me , care about me , but doing this in front of everyone will only cause unnecessary trouble for me .

" Winston suddenly fell silent , his eyes gazing at me quietly , filled with hurt . I lowered my gaze , and my heart was also uncomfortable . Even if there is no possibility between me and Winston , the past friendship still remains . If possible , I don't want to say anything to hurt him . But not speaking clearly about certain things will only lead to bigger misunderstandings . " Mr. Humphrey , you don't have to worry about me , really , I was fine now . " " Mr. Humphrey ?
" Winston's expression was even more hurt . I averted my gaze and didn't look at him . He looked at me and suddenly laughed sadly , " You say you're fine . Chapter74 now , but how did you get those injuries on your body ? Wasn't it him who hit you ? " I didn't speak . He murmured again , " Actually , you don't have to avoid me like this . I came just to bring you some ointment for your scratches .
" He said as he handed me a medicine bottle , " This medicine can also treat bruises and injuries . It should be able to be applied to the injury on your leg too . " The medicine is new , and the medicine box has not been opened . It should be that he just went out to buy it .
I didn't reach out my hand to take it , and I tried to say politely , " No need , just a minor skin injury … " However , before I could finish my words , he lifted my hand and forcefully shoved the box of medicine into it . He smiled bitterly and said , " I knew you didn't want to see me , afraid of causing trouble for you . During this time , I have always restrained the urge to see you . " Today , it was rare to see you , and I felt a bit excited in my heart .
I didn't consider many things thoroughly , which caused trouble for you . I'm sorry . With such a wounded expression and saying such words , it was difficult for me not to feel guilty in my heart . I pursed my lips and looked up at him , " Actually , you don't have to apologize to me . In the end , you were also doing it for my own good . It's my fault , I let you down , and I'm the one who should apologize . " " Ralda … " Winston's eyes suddenly welled up with tears .
Chapter24 甘 He choked and said , " If I hadn't left midway due to some personal matters during that class reunion back then . Reynaldo wouldn't have had the opportunity to take advantage . I'm sorry , it's all my fault . I was in the wrong … " I sighed and was about to comfort him .. Suddenly , I saw Reynaldo standing behind him , three meters away , looking coldly in this direction . My heart trembled fiercely .
I quickly averted my gaze and said to Winston , " It's all in the past now , and that matter itself has nothing to do with you . You don't need to blame yourself . " " Ralda … " Winston wanted to say something else , but I quickly interrupted him , saying , " Please don't say anymore . I don't want to bring up the past . "
