Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

Chapter 313 Are You Afraid of Me?

Winston was not used to having intimate contact with others, so he subconsciously struggled, but Reina held him

even tighter.

He frowned, turned his head to look at Reina, and was puzzled.

Reina was decent and cold, so she would not be so rude to hold a man's hand like this.

He looked at her and waited for her explanation.

Reina stood on tiptoe and explained in a low voice, "Sorry, I have an acquaintance. Could you pretend to be closer

to me?"

Hearing this, Winston looked around and soon met a pair of deep and quiet eyes. It was Jaylon.

He stood in the crowd, having no emotions in his eyes and looking cold. There was a light scar on his brow, adding

a bit of firmness and maturity to his temperament.

Winston remembered that the last time he was outside the hotel, Jaylon also looked at them like this, as if he knew

Reina.

From Reina's reaction, Winston guessed that Jaylon might have taken a fancy to Reina and pestered her.

Winston could tell that the wound on Jaylon's brow was hurt by a knife, and Jaylon's aura was stronger than

ordinary people's. Jaylon gave others a feeling of oppression and aggression, and he seemed not to be just a

businessman.

If Reina was targeted by him, she might be in danger.

Thinking of this, Winston raised his hand and held Reina's shoulder.

Winston clenched his hand into a fist and placed it behind her shoulder. It was not intimate.

Winston met Jaylon's gaze sharply as if he was warning Jaylon. In the face of Winston's provocation, Jaylon did

not have much of a reaction. He only calmly withdrew his gaze and went to talk to the people around him.

Anaya also noticed Jaylon, so she did not ask Winston why he suddenly embraced Reina.

After Anaya chatted with them for a while, the auction officially began.

Before Anaya came, she had already known the items that would be up for auction. But she was not interested

and only bought a few items.

Anaya came here today to give out her money, so when she had had enough, she stopped.

After the auction, Anaya, Hearst, and Winston left the hall together and separated in the parking lot.

After Anaya and Hearst left, Winston looked at Reina and asked, "Shall I give you a ride?"

"No. I will take a taxi..." Before she finished the words, Reina saw Jaylon coming out of the hotel and suddenly

changed her mind. "Yes. Thank you."

Winston also saw Jaylon and went to the other side of the car to open the door for Reina.

Before Reina got in the car, Winston deliberately looked at Jaylon.

But Jaylon had no expression on his face. He didn't even look at them, as if he didn't care about them.

Winston withdrew his gaze and got into the driver's seat.

On the way, Winston asked casually, "Do you know that man?"

Reina answered vaguely as if she was intentionally avoiding the question. "I met him a few times when I was

studying in Canada."

Seeing that she didn't feel like talking more, Winston didn't ask more.

Although Winston and Reina had known each other for several years, they weren't close to each other. It was just

a recommendation from a friend of Winston that Winston would let

Reina pretend to be his girlfriend.

Therefore, it was impolite for Winston to ask too much about

Reina's personal affairs.

The car stopped in front of the traffic light. Winston looked at the countdown on the sign and suddenly heard his

phone ringing.

He picked up the phone and looked at it. It was from an international number.

After the call was connected, Yarden's anxious voice came from the phone. "Winston, Aracely was just hit by a

child in the mall and fell from the stairs..."

Yarden's voice was trembling violently, anxious and afraid.

Winston's mind went blank for a moment when he heard the bad

news. But he calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "Is she hurt? Is it serious? Have you sent her to the

hospital? Which hospital is it?"

Winston had asked too many questions, and Yarden was in a mess. He stammered, "She... She was just sent to

the operating room. She seems to have hurt her legs. And... And her arms seemed to be hurt as well..."

Winston was extremely anxious. Seeing that Yarden couldn't make that clear, he immediately said, "Send me the

address. I'll go there now."

After that, Winston hung up the phone.

"What happened?" Reina was still a little confused.

"Aracely was sent to the hospital. I have to rush over now. Sorry that I can't send you back." Winston tried to calm

himself down.

Winston had always been a calm and collected man. Seeing him so anxious, Reina knew that the situation must

be very serious.

Afraid of delaying his time, Reina did not ask about the details and directly opened the car door to get out. "Be

careful on the road."

Winston nodded randomly. When the green light lit up, he immediately stepped on the accelerator.

The lights at the end of the car quickly disappeared. Reina did not stop the taxi. She walked forward for ten

minutes and waited for the bus at the bus stop.

It was already late. She took the last bus, and forty minutes later, she finally arrived near her home.

There was still a distance from the bus stop to her home. And Reina walked slowly.

She wore high heels tonight, and after walking for twenty minutes, the skin on her heel was worn.

Passing by the supermarket, Reina went in to buy a band-aid.

Coming out of the supermarket, she was about to leave when she saw a Benz park across the road. Her face

turned pale for a moment. Reina grabbed her bag and walked toward the man opposite her. In the old

neighborhood, several street lamps were extinguished for a long time, but no one repaired them.

The man stood under the street lamp that was out. He leaned against the car, half hidden in the dark. He held a

cigarette between his slender fingers and was smoking.

Seeing Reina come over, he extinguished the cigarette and quietly waited for her to come closer.

Reina stopped when she was 10 feet away from him, not daring to move forward.

"Jaylon, you said that you would not come to me again." Reina tried hard to make herself look strong and calm, but

her high- pitched voice still betrayed her. She was nervous and at a loss. "I didn't come to America for you." Jaylon

straightened up and walked slowly toward her.

His voice was steady and powerful as if he was a well-trained soldier.

But Reina knew that he was not a soldier, and he did not have a trace of the integrity of a soldier.

What he had done in the past was more immoral than anyone else.

He closed in step by step, and Reina uncontrollably took a few steps back, wanting to distance herself from him.

Jaylon stopped, looked at her with his deep eyes, and said, "Are you afraid of me?"

Jaylon drawled his voice as if he was playing with weak prey.

"No."

As she said this, Reina stopped in her tracks and stared at him warily.

Jaylon saw that she was on guard and did not approach her. He looked straight at her, and Reina didn't know what

he was thinking.

"You said before that you had someone you wanted to marry. That was why I broke the agreement and let you go.

"But the man who you said loved you as much as his life just dumped you halfway down the road?"
