I was the adopted daughter of the Wilfred family. I had loved Renaldo Wilfred for ten years.
People said that I, Cybill Felice, was an arrogant and domineering young girl.
But in front of Renaldo, I was as humble as a dog.
I came when he summoned and left when he waved his hand.
But I didn't care. I was satisfied as long as Renaldo could let me stay by his side.
However, he sent me to the hellish Ashvale Girls' School.
"When you stop pestering me, I will come and pick you up."
A year later, I finally learned to keep a distance from Renaldo.
But he begged me in tears, "Cybill, please don't be so aloof to me!"

On Levey's birthday, who was Renaldo's grandfather, he came to the girls' school to pick me up.
Standing at the school gate, I saw the long-lost sun and the dazzling man under the sunlight.
My steps were hesitant.
The silver McLaren stopped at the school gate. Renaldo leaned against the car door, looking down and holding a cigarette in his hand. I couldn't tell what he was thinking.
The principal, Mrs. James, sent me out and whispered in my ear, "Cybill, you know what to say and what not to say, right?"
I shivered and reflexively straightened my back, answering loudly, "Yes."
Mrs. James nodded in satisfaction and handed me over to Renaldo.
Renaldo saw me, opened the car door, and reached out to take my luggage.
I stepped back as if being electrocuted, not daring to look at him, "I can handle it myself."
Renaldo pursed his lips and said nothing.
The sports car raced all the way. We didn't speak for a long time.
Renaldo didn't speak, and neither did I.
It wasn't like this before.
I used to talk non-stop when I was by Renaldo's side even though he didn't speak.
No matter how trivial things were, I would share with him, e.g. food, the novels and movies I liked.
But I didn't do that anymore.
The teacher's words still echoed in my ears, "When words are excessive, they are unnecessary. When speech is excessive, it will lead to wrong."
Speaking too much would lead to mistakes. A woman should be virtuous and gentle. How could she keep talking non-stop?
I still remembered when I first entered school, I met a girl who looked a lot like my idol.
I praised her beauty and chattered with her about every detail of my idol.
Then she told on me to the teacher.
I would always remember the day when the teacher put adhesive tape on my mouth and then tore it off.
She did it repeatedly, until dripping blood stained the adhesive tape and my mouth swelled so much that I couldn't speak anymore.
While that girl stood aside, looking at me with a disgusted and impatient expression.
I had seen that expression on Renaldo's face before.
It turned out that he hated me talking incessantly to him.
Now, every time I opened my mouth, I would remember that burning and unbearable pain. It was better to keep quiet.

I didn't expect Renaldo to speak first, breaking the silence in the car.
"Why did you lose so much weight? Is the food at school not good?"
How could I not lose weig...
