Chapter 430 Strange Soup
When Lacey was at home, she saw Jaylon's car downstairs and knew that he was the man who sent Reina back last time. She couldn't help but be excited.
After that night, Lacey asked someone to investigate Jaylon's identity, but they were in different classes, and the people they met were even more different.
Although Lacey knew that Jaylon was the executive president of Mimo Group in America, she couldn't get in touch with him.
Lacey hadn't seen Jaylon contact Reina for the past few days. She thought that she would never see him again, but she didn't expect that this person would personally send Reina back again.
Lacey thought Reina did not have any strength, but that Reina had a pretty face.
Jaylon had sent Reina home twice, and it was obvious that he was
interested in Reina. Lacey thought that she had to help Reina win this man's heart.
"Reina, aren't you going to attend a friend's wedding? Why are you back so late?"
The wedding banquet ended at two o'clock. It was already half past five in the afternoon.
Seeing Lacey smile kindly, Reina had a bad feeling. She said to Jaylon, "Mr. Malpas, put me down. You can go back."
Lacey knew Reina's personality best. Judging from Reina's look, Lacey thought Reina did not like Jaylon.
But Lacey liked Jaylon's money very much and could not let him go. "Reina, this gentleman was kind enough to send you back, but you didn't ask him to stay for dinner. It's impolite."
"Sir, come in and have dinner before leaving."
Jaylon lightly replied with an "okay" and carried Reina into the house.
Reina rented an old apartment with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom. The conditions were not too bad, but for someone of Jaylon's status, it was still a little shabby.
Perhaps it was because of the shameful contract in the past, Reina was always unable to raise her head in front of Jaylon. There was a slight sense of inferiority hidden in her heart.
After entering the apartment, Reina was not worried that Lacey would say something she should not say, but that Jaylon would most likely dislike her family's environment.
However, Jaylon just put her on the sofa with an indifferent expression. There was no trace of disgust on his face.
Reina thought, or perhaps Jaylon is looking down on me in his heart, but he did not show it.
Reina grabbed the hem of her clothes tightly and sat on the sofa without saying a word.
Lacey walked over and intended to go into the kitchen, saying, "Reina, come over and help me cook."
Hearing Lacey command Reina in such a habitual tone, Jaylon was dissatisfied.
He took into account that Lacey was Reina's mother, so he held back his
anger.
"Her foot is injured. Let me do it."
As Jaylon spoke, he rolled up his sleeves.
"You know how to cook?" Lacey was a little surprised.
Jaylon replied frankly, "No."
Reina was amused by him. Sensing Jaylon's surprised gaze, she immediately stopped laughing and returned to her usual cold appearance.
Of course, Lacey would not let Jaylon cook. In the end, she entered the kitchen herself.
Jaylon looked down at Reina, his face expressionless, but Reina felt that he was in a good mood.
He said, "I thought you wouldn't smile at me."
Ever since the two of them reunited, Reina had never smiled at Jaylon. On
the contrary, she smiled at others countless times.
For example, Reina once smiled at Vincent, her first boyfriend.
When Jaylon thought of Vincent, the good mood that he had just had
instantly disappeared.
Although Jaylon had asked Reina that night and already knew that the two
of them had only held hands in the past, he still felt as uncomfortable as if a rock had been pressed against his heart.
Before Reina, he had never been close to any woman, not even hugging or holding hands.
Jaylon hoped that Reina could be the same as him.
But she was not.
Reina clearly felt that his mood had changed. She did not know why Jaylon
was happy for a while and then put on a face, but she did not take the
initiative to ask him.
If it was possible, she could not wait for Jaylon to not talk to her and leave immediately after having dinner.
Suddenly, Jaylon asked, "Have you been in contact with Vincent recently?"
"I have already resigned. How can I be in contact with him?"
In fact, Vincent had contacted her on Line recently, and Vincent was also
helping her with the fake identity card issue.
