In the Zais family home.
"How is it? Did Vivy tell you when she would be coming back?"
Actually, Mabie got up bright and early to cook some porridge. The couple didn't sleep all night because they were too worried about their daughter, so Mabie got up to cook first thing in the morning so that Vera could eat some porridge as soon as she got back.
Who would've thought that she hadn't come back after a long wait; she didn't even give them a call.
Therefore, they called her instead. After hearing that Vivy was coming back soon, Mabie urged David to quickly finish his bowl of porridge and eat a little more.
"Didn't she say that she would be coming back soon? Why are you urging me? Eat up."
David said, "I didn't sleep all night because I was worried about her. I haven't seen her yet; how could I eat?"
"Don't eat if you don't want to. You better have the energy to talk to Vera when she comes back. Don't eat like mad in front of her."
David wanted to roll his eyes at Mabie's scolding. "How can you speak like this, Mabie? Don't tell me you're not worried about Vera. How could you have such good appetite?"
Mabie was so angry with him that she took away the bowl in front of David. "If you don't want to eat, just leave it and go. Not only won't my conscience hurt, but I'm also doing very well. Can't you think for one second why I'm asking you to eat up? If you got angry about what Vera would say later, how would you have the energy to teach that b*stard a lesson? I think Sheridan probably did something to Vera last night, or else why would he end up in the hospital?"
Hearing that, David instantly came to his senses.
"I see! Then I have to hurry up and eat more. If Sheridan really dared to bully Vera, I swear I'll beat him to a pulp!"
After saying that, David was going to take back the bowl in Mabie's hand. Mabie sneered. "Get your own food; don't you have any hands?"
David didn't answer.
He had no choice as he refuted Mabie earlier, so she scolded him back. David did not dare to say a word; he could only go into the kitchen and get some porridge himself.
Quill sent Vera back to her place. Vera unbuckled her seat belt and turned to look at Quill.
"Thank you for sending me home, and... last night as well... thank you."
As she said that, Vera saw Quill unfastened his seat belt.
She was dumbfounded and asked blankly, "What are you doing?"
"I'll go with you to explain the situation."
Vera was totally dumbstruck.
How could she let that happen? If Quill went up, Mabie would definitely misunderstand. Thinking of this, Vera quickly stopped him.
"It's already nine. Don't you have to go to work?"
"I've pushed back my schedule. I am free in the morning."
"But, you're the president of a company. Won't it be bad if you don't go to work?"
Just when Vera was still trying hard to persuade him, Quill suddenly stopped his actions and turned his head to look at her in silence.
