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.
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.
