Reyes thought Toya was walking toward him to return to her room with Butler.
The feeling of injury did not last long before it was dispelled by her question.
What did she mean by “his mother used to live there”?
Reyes’ mother had died when he was very young, and he didn’t really remember her.
Butler didn’t like to talk to him about her either.
It wasn’t that he missed his mother that much.
No matter what, he could not remember her.
He could not recall her appearance or her preferences.
Not to mention the room she used to stay in.
But this is Butler’s room. He supposed it was sort of where his mother used to live?’
Why was Toya suddenly asking this?
Did she mind living in his father’s room with another woman?
Thinking of this possibility, Reyes’s heart ached again.
Toya had no idea what Reyes was thinking. She just thought he seemed a little sad again.
She nodded and said nothing more.
Then, under Reyes’s surprised gaze, she turned and walked up the stairs.
He called after her.
“Where are you going?”
Toya stood on the stairs and turned around. She looked at him coldly and said confidently, “Of course I’m going back to my room to sleep. Do you know what time it is?”
Reyes was stunned.
Go back to which room to sleep? Don’t you live with Butler? His room is right here.’
Toya continued, “Tomorrow is Monday. We still have classes in the morning. Since we’re in the same school, let’s go together tomorrow. Don’t be sad. Go back to your room and rest early.”
After saying that, she continued walking up the stairs.
Reyes finally reacted and caught up to her in three strides.
He probed, “Isn’t your room on the first floor?”
Toya glanced at him and thought he looked strangely excited.
“It’s on the second floor. From what the housekeeper said, it’s next door to your room.”
Reyes couldn’t help but smile.
No wonder she’d suddenly appeared behind him. She didn’t live with Butler at all.
In any case, this made him very happy.
When Toya glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, she felt that if he had grown a tail behind him, he would be wagging it very quickly now.
Didn’t he dislike her? Why was he so happy?
Was he afraid that she would pester his father?
Toya threw away the worries in her mind. The Wilson family’s structure was simple, and Reyes’s thoughts wouldn’t do anything to her no matter how complicated they were. She didn’t have to worry too much about him.
Reyes followed Toya up to the second floor in silence. He only felt relieved when he saw her enter the room next to his.
He went into his room and closed the door behind him. He couldn’t help but laugh for a moment.
Perhaps it was because of some more hurtful thoughts in his mind, but he was much more resilient now. Just the fact that Toya did not live with his father made him happy for a long time.
But after laughing, his heart started to ache again.
There was no way he could hide his love for her. As long as he saw her, even if his heart had shattered into pieces, it would be able to beat instantly.
He could not control himself, nor did he want to.
Her entire body seemed to be filled with traps to lure him in. Every single one of them was beautifully decorated, making him unable to stop himself.
He was already head over heels. In the past, he was still trapped in a cage made of his body. Now, his body was about to fall as well.
The only thing holding them captive was his self-control.
Self-control was a precious resource. He’d expended so much of it in front of Toya that he couldn’t control himself when he returned to his room.
He thought of her cold face and watery blue eyes.
He thought about her slender fingers gently brushing past the corner of his eyes.
He thought about the tip of her tongue and her soft lips.
He thought about her long and slender legs and fair arms.
Reyes was drenched in cold water, but the flames of desire inside him burned hotter.
He thought, She’s my stepmother, stop those inappropriate thoughts!
But his body… was even more excited.
Reyes closed his eyes in self-pity while letting the other self take over his mind.
When he opened his eyes again, he thought he saw the cool young woman in a white dress lying in front of him. Her back was wet, just like he’d seen in the principal’s office the other day. Through the dress that had become transparent because of the water, he saw the bra strap that clung to her body, and the beautiful collarbone beneath the bra strap.
She just laid there while letting her wet clothes cling to her butt and boldly showed off her hips.
Reyes’s vision blurred for a moment, and the dress covering her lower body disappeared.
His breathing quickened and his eyes turned red.
Her butt was raised a little higher and he poked it into the crack.
Even if it was just a fantasy, even if there was nothing in front of him, the thought of poking into the body of the girl he liked still brought him an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
The girl who lived in Reyes’s mind gasped seductively, while the real her slept soundly next door.
