He didn't expect that Vera would be so willful and even mentioned a murderer. Didn't she know the importance of these matters? A person would only get married once in their life. If she bet her happiness on an unreliable person because of her anger, it would be too stupid.
"Yes, I'm capricious. I've never been so considerate. Are you happy now?"
Her mind was full of resistance towards him, so she spoke without thinking.
After that, she did not want to stay in the car with him any longer. She turned around and was about to open the car door to leave. However, as soon as she laid her hand on the door, he stopped her by holding her wrist. He leaned over, grabbed her wrist in one hand, and pulled her towards him. He then put his other hand between her and the door, not letting her get out of the car.
"What are you doing? Let go of me." She struggled to pull her hand back, but he was too strong. She struggled for a long time but failed to pull her hand back.
However, she did not give up. She was still struggling with all her might, trying to escape.
He quickly locked the car door and let go of her.
She tried to open the car door several times, but failed. She stared at him angrily.
"What the hell do you want?"
"I promised your mother that I would send you home safely."
After knowing that Sheridan had been imprisoned, Quill felt that Vera's current situation was very dangerous. If he let her and the man continue seeing each other, he didn't know what would happen.
However, the current situation was that she resisted him. No matter what he did or what he said, it would only make her angrier.
"I also said, you agreed to that, not me. Open the door and let me get out of the car."
In response, she heard the car moving.
The car quietly drove on the empty street in the night.
In contrast to the calmness of the outside world, her heart was almost ablaze with anger. She didn't know how things had escalated. She seemed to have gotten crazy and lost herself.
As she was thinking, she closed her eyes and leaned far away from him.
He could send her home if he liked. After that night, she would just pretend that she never knew him no matter what he did. This would be the last time.
He was surprised by her sudden silence.
They just kept quiet along the way home. She wanted to get out of the car immediately once the car came to a stop. However, he still had the doors locked. She could only sneer and said, "What? Are you still not going to let me leave, President Hanover? Are you reluctant to let me go?"
He was speechless.
The sarcastic look on her face was really a headache for him.
He advised, "I don't want to interfere with you. I just don't want you to get hurt. Don't hang around with such people anymore."
"President Hanover, we have arrived at my house. You have fulfilled your promise. Can you open the door?"
It seemed that it was useless to say anything. He unlocked the doors, and she got out of the car quickly and went up.
After Vera returned, Mabie hurried to meet her, but she didn't want to say a word and went straight into her bedroom. She didn't even shower before she buried her face in her quilt, letting her tears
fall silently.
The next day, Sheridan still came to the restaurant after work.
After what happened the day before, Vera couldn't look at him in the same way. She didn't expect Amelia to be so unreliable and introduce such a horrible person to her.
However, she hadn't decided whether or not to tell Mabie him being sent to jail before. Maybe she should privately talk to Sheridan?
