Seeing that Vera believed her, she smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, go and change your clothes first. I will bring your toothbrush and facial cleanser over by the time you're done."
Vera seemed to be very happy. She immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, Lauren. You can bring it over later. I'll head back first."
Lauren let out a sigh of relief as Vera left. She was really afraid that Vera would rush in without a care.
She was really a foolish young girl, and she was easy to deal with.
But why was Vera so forgetful? She had even left her toothbrush and facial cleanser behind. Now she had to deliver it to her. Lauren was furious, but to maintain her facade, she looked for Vera's toiletries.
Lauren searched the bathroom high and low but couldn't find Vera's things.
There wasn't a toothbrush nor a facial cleanser.
Lauren put her hands on the sink and looked at herself in the mirror with a serious expression on
her face.
Something wasn't right. If she had really left her things behind, it was impossible that she couldn't find either one. What did it mean?
It meant that Vera tricked her!
She lied to her!
After realizing it, Lauren clenched her fist. D*mn it! How could she be fooled by a girl who was so much younger than her?
Almost immediately, Lauren figured out why Vera was making fun of her!
Had she found out?
But how did she find out? She didn't let her in...
With that thought, she decided to go out and have a look.
After Vera confirmed her speculation, she went back. As soon as she entered the room, Quill asked her to have some milk. But Vera had gone to Lauren as soon as she got up; she hadn't done anything, let alone brush her teeth. How could she drink milk?
So Vera waved her hand and went to brush her teeth.
Halfway through, Vera heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Lauren, she quickly finished up in the bathroom.
As she was about to answer, Quill blocked the door. "Eat first."
"But..." Vera pointed at the door. "Someone is knocking. I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Quill immediately grabbed her wrist, brought her to a chair, and sat her down.
"Eat first. Everything else can wait." Quill ordered.
He shoved a glass of milk into Vera's hand and said, "You have to finish it."
Vera blinked; Quill didn't seem to be kidding. She suddenly remembered someone knocking at the door while she was still half- asleep in the morning. She had asked Quill about it, but he said she misheard it and told her to go back to sleep.
Quill wore the same expression as he did then.
Could it be that...
Her eyes widened as she asked, "Lauren came over in the morning, didn't she?"
Quill glanced at her with a faint smile and nodded slightly.
