Chapter 462 They Won't Get Married
In the face of his questioning, Reina remained her cold attitude. "It's fine."
Jaylon saw that he couldn't get any results, so he didn't continue to ask.
Reina refused to say. Jaylon would contact Lacey.
Only by figuring out the reason for Reina's change in attitude would Jaylon be able to find the right solution.
Charles came up to the bed and put down his bag. "Reina, don't be angry. Let's eat first."
Reina refused, "I'll order some takeout."
Charles didn't know how to persuade Reina. He looked back at Jaylon for help.
Jaylon lightly opened his thin lips, "It's fine if she doesn't want to eat. You can take the food back."
Reina rejected the food brought by Charles today. She probably guessed that Jaylon was the one who made it.
Since Reina knew it, Jaylon no longer needed to communicate with Charles behind Reina's back.
Charles nodded and carried his school bag. "Reina, I need to go. Take care of yourself."
"Okay." Reina's expression softened when she saw Charles' concern.
Soon after, Charles was sent back by Jaylon's people. Reina ordered takeout for lunch.
For the next day, Reina didn't talk much to Jaylon.
After the discharge procedures were completed the next day, Reina went to the transportation station alone. She had no intention of going back with Jaylon at all.
Jaylon did not dare to force Reina. He could only drive behind the bus and watch her from afar.
When Reina got home, she found that all the flowers in the yard had been dug out and replaced with green plants.
Reina returned to her room and answered a few emails. She then asked someone to help her contact more employers and got some work.
If she wanted to return Jaylon's money, she had to work harder.
Reina worked until 7 p.m. before going downstairs to find something to eat.
In the corridor at the corner of the stairs, Reina saw someone downstairs through the window.
It was not Jaylon, but Argus.
Argus stood there firmly as if he had been standing there for a long time.
Reina went downstairs and opened the door.
"Why didn't you ring the doorbell?"
Argus' clothes had a faint fishy smell. He probably came after he finished his work in the afternoon.
"I did, but you didn't come down."
As soon as Argus had just returned to the port, he heard that Reina was back and immediately rushed over.
However, after ringing the doorbell for a long time, Argus found no one came down to open the door.
Argus thought that Reina did not want to see him, so she did not open the door.
But judging from the current situation, Argus thought Reina probably did not hear the doorbell at all.
"I played music when I was working, so I did not hear any noise downstairs. What's the matter?" Reina blocked the door and did not let him in.
"Nothing. I just heard that you were discharged from the hospital and wanted to see you."
"You have seen me."
The implication was that Argus could leave.
Argus did not want to leave. He looked around and said, "The groceries at home are finished, right? Do you want me to go to the supermarket with you? I can help you with bags."
"I have food at home. I don't need to shop today."
Argus could not find a reason to stay. Finally, he struggled and said, "I will take a day off tomorrow. Do you want to go out with me tomorrow
afternoon?
"You haven't gone to the sea since you came here. Ruby and her husband will go to the island nearby tomorrow. We can go together.
"We can go to the sea by sunset."
Reina was about to refuse when she saw Jaylon appear by the door that was connected to the wall. He leisurely passed the bluestone path and walked towards them.
Argus also noticed Jaylon and deliberately raised his voice to repeat his
invitation.
Argus knew that in front of Jaylon, Reina would not refuse him.
Because before the baby was born, Reina needed to use Argus to drive
Jaylon away.
Although everyone thought that the father of Reina's baby was likely to be
Jaylon, it was not sure. So, it would be difficult for Jaylon to keep Reina
around.
Sure enough, after a short hesitation, Reina agreed.
When Jaylon stopped, he just happened to hear Reina's reply.
Jaylon was far away just now and could only vaguely hear that Argus
seemed to be inviting Reina out.
Reina agreed.
Today, Reina was not even willing to let Jaylon send her home. She was
now having a hot time with Argus.
Jaylon stared at Reina with a gloomy gaze. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line, giving off a strong sense of oppression.
"Where are you going?"
No one answered Jaylon.
Argus was worried that Reina would change her mind if he stayed for too
long, so he said, "I'll go back first. I'll come to pick you up tomorrow."
Reina nodded. After Argus left, she planned to return to the house.
Jaylon took a few steps forward and blocked her way. He lowered his eyes and looked at Reina deeply. "Answer my question just now."
Jaylon's tone was stiff, and it was a sharp and forceful tone that had not
been heard for a long time.
Reina looked up at him. "If I don't tell you, are you going to lock me up at
home tomorrow?"
Because of Reina's provocation, Jaylon's attitude softened a little. "I'm just
asking. There's no other meaning."
Reina didn't say anything and bypassed him into the house.
Before Reina closed the door, Jaylon stuffed the food box he was carrying
into the house through the crack in the door.
"I just learned to make food for pregnant women today. You can eat it
tonight."
After stuffing the food, Jaylon turned around and left.
Reina carried the things back to the house and casually put the things
Jaylon sent on the table before entering the kitchen.
When the water was about to boil, Reina looked back at the milky white
food box on the table. After hesitating for a moment, she turned off the fire and went to the dining table to eat the things in the box.
Jaylon learned things quickly. His cooking skill showed how smart he was.
Reina didn't have a good appetite in the past few days, but today, she ate all
things on the plate.
Reina cleaned up the tableware and returned to the study to continue
working.
After looking at the computer for a long time, Reina felt so sleepy, and she
fell asleep at some point.
When Reina woke up the next morning, she was ready to go out for a walk
as usual. When she went out, she noticed that there was breakfast hanging
on the door.

Reina ignored it and went back to work.
Around two p.m., Argus went to her house and took her to the port.
This place was not far from the port, so Argus did not drive. He walked over with Reina slowly.
Argus did not mention making up again and told Reina some local funeral
customs. He also talked about the supernatural stories his grandmother told him when he was a child.
Reina liked to watch horror movies. When she first came here, she liked to listen to Argus tell some folk ghost stories about this country.
Reina quietly listened to Argus with admiration.
It had to be said that Argus had the talent to tell stories. In some important
parts, he was good at keeping people in suspense. After raising Reina's interest, he would slowly tell the truth.
As Argus narrated several climaxes, even in the daytime, Reina felt a chill
on her back.
They walked to the port. Reina's mood was much better than when she first
went out, at least she would smile at Argus.
Reina's change
Argus notice I was a little happy. He giggled. When Ruby saw Argus smiling, she also smiled and said, "Argus, you are smiling so happily. It seems that your wedding is coming soon." Argus blushed a little and wanted to say that there might be a while before Jaylon's voice came from behind. "They are not going to get married."
