Reyes didn’t go far, and he didn’t want to go far, but he felt that Toya might need him to go far away so that she could be alone. So he wasn’t very close to her.
However, Toya’s dejected gaze made him stop.
This distance was enough.
She didn’t seem to like that he was too far away.
He called while watching Toya stare at the duckling on the lake.
After hearing the familiar opening speech, Reyes instructed, “Bring antiseptic and band-aids as well as a pair of female shoes about size 5.5.”
“In addition, pay attention to Carter Madison. Don’t let him near Toya again.”
After he agreed, he said in a rare serious tone, “Master, there’s a problem with the Madison family’s arms market. Many people are fighting for a share of this piece of pie. Should we get involved?”
Reyes clicked his tongue lightly and ordered without hesitation, “Don’t get involved.”
“But this is clearly a very good opportunity…”
The problem with the Madison family’s arms market was related to the fact that Hernandez had not shown his face for two months. If a big shot of his level was not watching over such a dangerous deal for a long time, both subordinates and partners would not be at ease. Since Hernandez had not shown his face for two months, there would definitely be a problem.
At a time like this, the ones who were the most anxious were definitely Toya’s brothers. They must be anxiously gathered around Hernandez’s bed and waiting for him to reveal any information related to business so that they could take over.
If the business fell now, it was hard to guarantee that they would not do anything to the useless Hernandez.
Even if he didn’t participate in the splitting of the Madison family’s market, there would be others involved. However, he didn’t want to be one of the drivers of Toya’s father’s death.
Reyes interrupted him. “Do you feel that your work is boring now? So you want to go to the arms market to have some fun?”
Sending medicine and shoes was indeed boring.
The person on the other end of the line didn’t dare to say anything. He smiled obsequiously. “No, no.”
But it was a little too late to back down. Reyes shook his wrist and decided that he had to teach him a lesson. “I don’t think we’ve practiced in a long time. Friday morning or afternoon? Pick one yourself.”
The person on the other end of the phone was filled with regret and said with a contorted expression that everything would be done according to Reyes’s schedule.
Reyes hung up.
He thought about it and dialed again.
“Master, is there anything else?”
“You don’t have to bring the shoes here anymore.”
——
The duckling had already slithered away, and the duck buttocks with white feathers disappeared from Toya’s sight.
Reyes came over with a cotton bud, antiseptic, and band-aid. He rubbed medicine on her in the way he had cleaned the sand for her before.
Perhaps it was because she had misunderstood that Reyes had left her alone, but this time, she was cooperative. She held it in even though it tched.
After putting on the Band-Aid, Reyes looked up at her. “Done,” he said.
Toya glanced at her feet and then at Reyes.
“Thank you.”
In fact, she really didn’t think anything would happen to her feet. She hadn’t taken more than a few steps when Reyes picked her up.
Reyes sat beside her, but he wasn’t very close.
He didn’t say anything or ask anything.
The two of them sat on the bench without saying anything.
Toya felt calm enough. She needed to talk to Reyes.
“Can you pretend that you didn’t see what happened today?” This was definitely a euphemism for Toya.
She used the word “can”.
As if she was discussing it with Reyes.
Reyes didn’t answer. Instead, he asked the obvious, “Carter Madison is your nephew?”
“Yeah.”
Toya blushed and felt ashamed. It was shameful to be liked by her biological nephew.
And that didn’t necessarily mean he liked her. Carter might just want to bang her.
Reyes had thought that he might encounter many love rivals, but why were the identities of these love rivals so strange?
First was his father, Butler, and now, Toya’s biological nephew, Carter?
He rubbed his forehead and comforted Toya. “I won’t tell anyone.”
“Thanks.” Toya already hated repeating the word.
“Are we still going to the Student Union?”
“…I’m not going.” They didn’t really need her anyway.
Reyes paused. “Did you get engaged to Butler because you couldn’t stay home anymore?”

This was no different from saying that Toya was homeless.
If Reyes hadn’t seen or heard Carter today, Toya might have shamelessly denied that moving into the Wilson family and being driven to the Wilson family were two different concepts.
But now, she really couldn’t say that she was doing well in the Madison family’s house.
She decided not to cover it up any longer. “Yes,” she admitted. “There was no place for me in the Madison family’s house anymore. My father was in poor health and couldn’t hold out much longer. He was afraid that my brothers would bully me, so he asked Butler to be engaged to me.”
“Butler was just returning my father’s favor..”
