Chapter 4
When Cindy came out wearing my most cherished dress, my face turned pale.
Reynold said confidently, “Anyway, since you haven’t worn this skirt since I gave it to you, why not let Cindy wear it first?”
I forced a smile. I didn’t wear that dress because I couldn’t bear to.
Over the years, Reynold has only given me one birthday gift.
And after he found out that I had a crush on him, he never gave me anything again, so I kept this
dress hidden like a treasure.
But now, I nodded lightly and said, “Okay, I can’t wear it anymore. I was actually planning to get rid of it or give it away.”
In the following days, Cindy clung to Reynold every day, seemingly intentionally showing affection
to me.
On the day when Reynold personally knelt down to propose, I was feeling restless and ended up getting into a car accident. Although it wasn’t serious, I was still taken to the hospital by passersby.
They came in a group to see me, and Cindy’s face wrinkled and she was about to cry.
“Reynold, did Ella intentionally get hit by a car because we were engaged?”
“It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t insisted on you proposing, Ella wouldn’t have had an accident…”
She blamed herself incessantly, and Reynold felt sorry for her and comforted, “It’s not your fault, dear. The milk tea I ordered for you has arrived, go and get it first.”
As soon as Cindy left, Reynold furrowed his brow and angrily accused me.
“Ella, did you have to cause trouble on the day I proposed to Cindy? Are you so determined to scheme and break us apart? I have told you before, put away all those thoughts of yours, there can never be a future between you and me!”
I smiled faintly.
“Reynold, you misunderstood, I only saw you as a brother.”
“And you’re overthinking. My car accident had nothing to do with you.”
Reynold didn’t believe it, and he pondered before speaking, “I was about to marry Cindy soon, Ella. If you could be more open–minded, you should find a boyfriend and let go of your feelings for me.”

I nodded, “I already had a boyfriend.”
“There is none, there is no need for you to lie!”
Reynold’s gaze dar and fell upon my face. He felt an inexplicable restlessness in his heart,
and for a moment, he couldn’t catch his breath.
Just at that moment, Cindy entered the room with a cup of milk tea.
She handed me the milk tea with a smile, but deliberately showed off the diamond ring on her ring
finger.
“Ella, you were wasting your efforts. No matter how hard you tried, it would only make Reynold despise you even more. Can’t you see? Reynold only has me in his heart. This ring, he personally put it on my finger. Give up on this hope.”
As I was leaving, Reynold gave me a deep look.
“It doesn’t matter if you didn’t have a boyfriend. You are Noah’s sister, which means you are my sister too. As long as you don’t have any of those messy thoughts, I could take care of you for a
lifetime.”
Upon hearing these words, Cindy cast a resentful glance at me, but pretended to be understanding.
“Yeah, you can also treat me like a real sister. Both Reynold and I would take care of you.”
But I did not lie.
I really had a boyfriend.
My gaze gently fell on the gardenia flower on the bedside table, which was given to me by my boyfriend Kevin.
At first, I just agreed to Noah and went on a blind date to give it a try. However, when I arrived at the coffee shop, I realized that Kevin was actually the male model I had slept with that night.
I blushed instantly when I saw him, but to my surprise, he seemed to expect it and lightly’ughed as he pinned me against the wall.
“Shy? Why, weren’t you very proactive the last time we met?”
I originally felt embarrassed and didn’t want to contact him again, but I didn’t expect to be followed by a gangster on my way home one night.
Kevin appeared and gave the other person a few punches, and then he sent me back home.

On the way, I asked him, “Weren’t you a male model?”
He drove, looking straight ahead, and raised an eyebrow, “Who told you I was a male model?”
“It was clearly you who was in such a hurry that day, recklessly flirting with men. Fortunately, I was inspecting the club that day, otherwise I wouldn’t have known which man you had harmed.”
I got so angry that I punched him, but he grabbed my hand and put it in his pocket.
“Ella, I liked you for a long time, will you be my girlfriend?”
Even the car accident, it was said that Kevin was distracted and didn’t look at the road because he
was proposing, which caused the minor accident.
Every time I think of his face, a faint joy rises in my heart.
After being discharged from the hospital, I would leave early and return late. When I came back at night, it was already past eleven o’clock, and Reynold was standing at the door, dressed in casual attire.
His face was complicated, “Ella, have you been intentionally avoiding me lately?”
I was stunned and then laughed, “You’re overthinking.”
Reynold, however, blocked my way and furrowed his brow, gripping my wrist tightly. “It’s better if I’m just overthinking things. My wedding with Cindy is coming up soon, so I advise you to stop playing any tricks.”
I broke free from his hand and said sincerely, “I wish you a happy marriage.”
Reynold’s face finally relaxed, but his gaze fell on my neck, and his expression changed again and again.
“Who did your neck? Could it be another mosquito bite?”
That was the mark Kevin insisted on leaving during the day, saying he wanted to assert his sovereignty.
I used to be afraid of causing misunderstandings, but now I openly have a boyfriend, there is no need to hide it.
“It had nothing to do with you, right?”
Reynold’s face grew even darker.
After I finished speaking, I turned around and left, but I didn’t notice that Cindy, who was hiding in

the corner, had a pale face and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
“Darling, I took you to a nice place.”
That day, I received a message from Kevin and was getting ready to happily go out for our appointment when I saw Cindy playing on my swing in the yard.
“Ella!”
Reynold’s voice came through, and I pretended not to hear.
When he came back in the evening, Reynold angrily kicked open my room door.
He slapped me in the face, and anger was uncontrollable on his face.
“Ella! Why are you so malicious? Cindy just played on your swing, and you were so jealous that you had to tamper with it and make her fall. Are you satisfied now that she’s in the hospital?”
