He didn't look good, and he looked even bedraggled after being drenched in the rain. However, he stood stock still, composed. The corner of his lips twitched when he saw Vera coming out.
Then, he took a step forward, but she subconsciously took a step back.
Hence, Quill's footsteps came to a halt.
"Vivy."
He called out to her in a hoarse voice, with anguish in his eyes.
What was the meaning of this?
Vera hadn't a clue, but she didn't want to know at the moment either. Only one thing mattered to her.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Quill thought Vera was referring to the birthday celebration earlier, so the fact that someone had told Vera Yulia was his fiancee did not cross his mind.
Thus, his mind was only focused on that, and there was a long period of silence before he replied, "I didn't know how to tell you."
After all, it was his most traumatic memory.
No matter who, no one would be willing to relive their past trauma.
The same went for Quill. However, everything that day happened too quickly for him to react.
Nevertheless, he regretted it after he left, but Vera was no longer in the restaurant when he went back for her.
It wasn't until he heard the staff talking about the effort Vera expended that Quill realized how much she wanted to celebrate his birthday.
Unfortunately, she didn't know about his past, and Quill never expected his past trauma to resurface. However, he had to grab the bull by the horns now.
If so, he was willing to be completely honest with her, but that was a tall order indeed.
First of all, he didn't want to rehash the trauma.
Second, he didn't like bringing up his past for no reason.
However, this time, he was here to make it clear, once and for all.
As luck would have it, Vera was asking Quill about Yulia. Did he mean it was hard for him to tell her he had a fiancee?
What an amazing excuse...
Vera sniffled and heard her heart shattered to
pieces.
"You didn't know how to tell me? So... It's true then."
Was Yulia really Quill's fiancee? Then... Was she really a homewrecker?
If even the receptionist knew about this, that wouldn't that have meant... the company was privy to this? She was the only one kept in the dark.
At the thought of her constantly visiting Quill at his office and even taking Yuila to the hospital with him, Vera found it ridiculous while everyone else looked at her like she was a mistress.
However, Quill did not say a word in reply to her question but remained silent.
Most times, silence was a terrible thing.
Because it would mean a tacit admission.
Under that circumstance, his silence meant the vindication of her doubts.
Boiling it down, Quill and Yulia's engagement was real, and she was a bona fide homewrecker!
