Vera had become unsympathetic compared to the last time they met at the banquet.
When facing him, she no longer felt uneasy, no longer nervous and fearful, and even looked at him with sarcasm in her eyes. When she spoke, she also looked straight at him without any fear.
It was good that she was like this.
However, what she said was not what he wanted to hear.
Quill frowned, giving off a depressing aura. He took a step forward and said, "Then you listen to me. I want to explain about that night."
When he mentioned that night, her expression changed, and she instantly remembered the scene where she had stupidly closed her eyes and waited for his kiss. As a result, when she had opened her eyes, he had pushed her away.
He must have seen what she looked like that moment. He must think that she was stupid!
Even now when she thought of it, she felt stupid and cheap.
It had come to an extent where even she detested herself. If she continued to be entangled with
Quill, she would be humiliated for the rest of her life.
As she thought about this, Vera spoke up with a cold expression.
"President Hanover, you don't have to explain. I can see it for myself."
He looked at her with clear, glistening eyes.
He tried to explain, "I drank too much that night, so..."
"That's enough!"
She suddenly covered her ears and took a big step backward. Her eyes were wide open, and tears began to build in her eyes. "I already said that you don't have to explain. I saw it clearly myself. What else do you want from me?"
He didn't understand her emotional outburst. He just stood there and frowned harder.
He had been looking for an opportunity to explain since that night, but she never came. He even came and waited for her for the whole day.
He didn't expect that she wasn't even willing to listen to his explanation.
She covered her ears and shouted, "I was not sensible before and did a lot of things that bothered you. I promise that it will not happen again. If you really think I am going too far, please let me go for your sister's sake!"
Right after she finished speaking, she left right away without waiting for him to react.
It wouldn't be good for him to stop her since she was so emotional.
Mabie was waiting aside.
She should not have eavesdropped on the conversation between the young people, but she was curious and worried. Hence, she quietly moved closer to them and wanted to hear what they were talking about.
However, shee did not expect that Vera would suddenly become so vehement, which almost scared her to death.
Soon, she saw that her daughter had had a breakdown. She spoke loudly while covering her ears, attracting the attention of many people on the sidewalk.
The moment Vera finished speaking, she ran away.
Mabie felt that Quill had been patient for waiting for a whole day, but looking at how he caused her daughter to be so upset, she did not bother talking to him anymore.
Hence, without even looking at him, she immediately chased after Vera.
Vera was so emotional that she ran until she was out of breath. She didn't stop until she was out of energy. She bent over by the side of the road and gulped for air as if she was deprived of oxygen.
Mabie, who was behind her, caught up to her and panted beside her.
"Oh, I almost died running after you, Vivy. Are you alright?"
