Was Quill acting like this because she wanted to leave him?
However, it wouldn't change the fact that Quill was engaged even if he had changed.
Vera closed her eyes and allowed the hot water to wash over her, letting her feel as if her troubles were far away.
Just as she was ready to leave the bathroom, she noticed the numerous hickeys Quill had left on her neck as she walked past the mirror.
Thinking of his actions earlier, Vera gnashed her teeth, infuriated.
That b*stard! Vera wondered if he would continue to kiss and hug her when she went out. How could he continue to be so intimate with her after they'd broken up?
She couldn't even get over it just thinking about it.
Thus, she simply froze in place inside the bathroom.
After a while, a knock came at the door.
"Vivy."
Quill's voice sounded through the door. "Come out when you're done. I'll help you dry your hair."
He wanted to dry her hair for her?
Vera waved her hands dismissively. Quill's precious hands were much more suited to signing billion- dollar contracts and drying his fiancee's hair.
Thus, Quill called out to her again when she did not reply. It was only then Vera reluctantly answered, "Wait, I'm not done."
Then, she remained standing in the bathroom. Fixed on the hickeys on her neck, she wondered how to hide them. There was nothing in the bathroom, and none of her clothes were high collared.
Just as Vera was grappling with her thoughts, the door was pushed open. Startled, she never expected Quill to barge in.
She shouted, "How dare you barge in? What if I was showering? You can't just walk in as you please. What if you saw..."
"So what if I saw?" Quill moved closer, grabbing her wrist. "I've already seen everything I should and shouldn't, so what's the big deal?"
"You!" Vera was infuriated, wanting to fling his hand away.
"Since you're done, then go out and dry your hair lest you'll catch a cold."
Vera wanted to refuse but swallowed her words at the sight of Quill's dominance. Then, she reluctantly followed Quill out of the bathroom.
After that, Quill dried her hair with a towel before he blow-dried it. The sound of the hairdryer was comforting, and the air was warm.
As her hair progressively dried, Vera grew rather sleepy. As soon as Quill finished drying her hair, Vera laid her head on the pillow.
Quill put away the hair dryer only to find Vera had fallen into a deep slumber.
Quill was baffled at how worn out she looked despite sleeping a lot on the train.
However, he didn't think further but pulled the quilt over her and watched her in silence as he sat at the side of the bed.
After a while, he took out Vera's phone and scrolled through the call log and messages. It was all blank.
She'd silently changed the SIM card and erased everything on her phone. She sure was ruthless.
It seemed like she was determined to break up with him, but Quill wouldn't let her go no matter what.
She was the only love in his life, and he believed everything between them could be solved. So if anyone had to give in, he was more than willing to be the one.
With this thought in mind, Quill tucked an errant lock of hair on her forehead away with a gentle gaze.
"Sweet dreams."
