"You're actually awake?!" Vera asked in surprise and the answer of the affirmative.
"I've been awake the whole time." Vera was dumbfounded.
"Then why didn't you move an inch when I've been searching high and low." Then, Quill let out a low grunt. "I didn't have the heart to disturb you seeing how much fun you're having." His voice was hoarse from sleep.
His words were mockery in her ears, and she suddenly pounced on him, beating him out of anger.
"How could you?! You were wide awake, yet you didn't say a thing. You must be entertained seeingrummaging around like ssort of thief, right? It's bad enough you took my ID and purse for yourself, but you're even poking fun at me. You're enjoying all of this, aren't you?" Quill had a triumphant smirk in the beginning, but it gradually faded after Vera lost her temper.
"Not at all. If possible, I wouldn't want to confiscate your ID and purse. But if I don't, you'd run away the next second. What am I to do then?" What would he do then? For a moment, Vera was swayed by his words. Would he be affected by Vera's absence? Did Quill need her? However, she still couldn't give up the moral high ground no matter how much Quill needed her. It was fine if she remained blissfully unaware, but if she continued the relationship after finding out, then what would that make her? With that thought in mind, Vera clenched her jaw as she retorted.

"You wantto look for another woman?" "Yes!" Vera nodded vigorously. "I don't want you anymore, so go and find another one!" "Do you think you're the only one who has a say in this? If so, then why did you pursuein the beginning?" "Oh..." Vera said matter-of-factly, "I was captivated by your looks, but I've gotten bored of it. So, I'm dumping you. Plus, I realized you don't care about your girlfriend at all. All you know is to get your head stuck in your affairs. I visit you and bring you food to your company all the time, but what about you? What have you given me? What have you done when your employees talked aboutbehind my back? Your fiancee..." Vera suddenly paused at that.
D*mn it. Why did she mention his fiancee? Wasn't she just digging her own grave? Realizing something was amiss with her words, Quill narrowed his eyes and asked, "Fiancee?" Then, Vera faced away and ignored him.
Quill clearly knew what was going on, but he still played dumb. Did he think she was ssort of pushover? "You obviously know what I'm talking about." Quill frowned deeply at her words. At first, he thought Vera was mad at him because he'd left the birthday celebration she'd painstakingly organized for him.
Furthermore, he'd said such hurtful words to her. Hence, Quill naturally thought Vera wanted to break up with him because of that.
However, judging from the situation, he seemed to be wrong.
With that though, Quill asked, "So the reason you broke up withisn't because of my birthday?" His birthday? Although he left in a hurry after her painstaking efforts of planning it, she felt a little guilty, thinking she had triggered his trauma when Yulia told her Quill never celebrated his birthdays. That had definitely upset her, and she also wanted to know why he refused to celebrate his birthday.
However, the unexpected news of Yulia being Quill's fiancee cright after.
It was a double whammy to her.
If Yulia wasn't Quill's fiancee, Vera might not have taken her words to heart.
Nevertheless, she was immensely bothered by what Yulia said. "I thought you'd cured his habit of not celebrating his birthdays. After all, you two are dating. Shouldn'the have told you about it?" Seeing Vera remaining silent, Quill grabbed her shoulder, "Vera?" Vera raised her head and locked gazes with him. "Why do you keep askingwhat you already know? Are you finding this amusing, or is it that you want to humiliatefurther?" Her words confirmed Quill's belief that the birthday celebration wasn't the reason Vera was livid.
"What do you mean by fiancee?" Vera's eyes widened in shock. She wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words in the end. Then, she let out a harsh bark of laughter.
"What do I mean? You're askingabout your fiancee? How the hell would I know?" After that, she struggled to break free from his grip, and her voice was hysterical, "You have a fiancee, yet you swear I'm the only one for you. You sure are a phony, Quill Hanover!" Quill was left dumbfounded.
After a long period of silence, Quill spoke with a helpless tone.
"Who told you I have a fiancee?" Vera, who was livid, was dumbstruck after hearing this. She stared at Quill as she asked, "What do you mean?" "So you're breaking up withbecause of that?" Quill didn't answer her question. Instead, he burst into laughter. "You silly girl..." Vera was bewildered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat was going on? What did he mean by that? Was he denying the fact that he had a fiancee? Vera could dismiss it as a lie if she'd heard it from other people, but Yulia had personally told her about it. Hell, she even said it in her text.
As the thought crossed her mind, Vera bit her lower lip and said, "Don't lie to me! Are you denying the fact that you have a fiancee?" Helpless, Quill pleaded guilty. "I've always been single! When have I ever had a fiancee?" "What about Yulia? Isn't she your fiancee?" Yulia? Quill's eyes flashed with confusion at her name. "Yulia? She's just a family friend. I've told you about it. How cshe's my fiancee?" Yulia? "Liar! You're even calling her nso affectionately!" Vera replied angrily as she gnashed her teeth.
"I'm sure it's not as affectionate as I.ne
Vivy." Quill lowered his head and Voi pressed his forehead against Vera's. Then, he continued in a hoarse. voice, if you're breaking up withbecause of this, then you'd be punishing an innocent man." "Innocent?"
"Mm." Quill nodded in reply. "Yulia isn't my fiancee. She's just a close childhood friend at most, but there's nothing between us. I don't even see her as a sister." X RULE #1 choose married women Vera thought Quill would at least see Yulia as a sister, so she never expected him to deny that.
"I've been looking for my biological sister the whole time. Honestly, Yulia's just someone I used to hang out with when I was a kid." They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
