As this was said, Nash felt that there was no need for him to say anything further. Anyway, he was too old to talk about the matters between men and women. Quill should be able to settle them on his own. Quill asked him to drive off after seeing that Vera had gone upstairs.

She came home barefoot and was in a very bad shape.

She took off her shoes when she got into the car, so she didn't even take the shoes when she left. She walked to the door barefooted and then entered the house with her fingerprints.

As soon as she entered the room and closed the door, she turned around and found Mabie standing right there.

She crossed her arms and looked at her, waiting to gossip.

"You finally come back? And you're still wearing such a beautiful dress? The person who sent you back, could it be..."

"Don't ask anything, don't say anything! There's nothing at all!!"

Vera's emotional outburst interrupted Mabie's words.

Only then did Mabie notice that her daughter's face was pale, and as she spoke, her eyes turned red.

She was shocked and quickly walked up to her.

"What's going on?"

When she saw Vera in the afternoon, she obviously went out happily. Why was she acting like this after she got back?

Mabie was not sure what happened to her, but when she saw her daughter's eyes turning red, as a mother, she was very anxious and could only keep asking, "Did something happen? Who did you go out with? Did the person who just sent you back bully you?"

It was better if she didn't ask. Vera could have kept her emotions in check and walked back to her room, expressionless, before lying in bed after taking a shower.

However, her emotions fell apart once she was shown concern by her loved ones.

Her lips were slightly parted as if she wanted to say something to Mabie, but before any words could come out, her tears came first and wouldn't stop flowing.

Mabie was wiping the tears from her eyes in a flurry.

She said, "Don't cry. Tell me what happened."

"Boohoo..." Vera wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a single word.

She could only lean into her mother's embrace. Mabie opened her arms to hug her, and her shoulders became drenched. She wanted to ask further, but looking at her daughter's current condition, she was afraid that she would not be able to express herself clearly. Thus, she gave up on that idea and gently patted Vera's shoulder.

"It's okay Vivy, we don't have to discuss this. Don't cry. It's okay!"

David was about to sleep in the room. When he heard sounds from outside, he pushed the door open and came out to have a look. He came over when he saw his daughter crying so badly.

But then, Mabie made a gesture to him telling him to go back to his room and not run around. Although he was helpless, he still went back to his room.

Vera didn't know how long she cried. In the end, she was taken back to her room by Mabie, and she then didn't even have the strength to take a bath. She laid on the bed in that short, white dress. "Are you tired? Why don't you go to bed first and take a shower after you wake up?" Mabie suggested.

Vera nodded eagerly. Her eyes were swollen from crying, and she looked pitiful as she lay there.

Mabie felt inexplicably sad. She took a wet towel and wiped her face clean. Then, she touched her forehead and said softly, "Sleep well. I'll be here."

Vera closed her eyes, but her hands were still holding Mabie. Perhaps she was tired from crying, so she fell asleep swiftly.

David, who was in his room, couldn't hear any more sounds from outside. He quietly snuck into Vera's room to peek at her.

When Mabie heard some noise coming from outside, she turned her head and glared at him. She gritted her teeth and gestured for him to go back to his room to sleep.

He walked in anyway.

"What's wrong?"

Mabie glared at him and said in a low voice, "What are you doing in here? Didn't I tell you to go back to sleep? It's none of your business."

He was speechless.

"What do you mean that it's none of my business? Vera is also my daughter. Can't I show my concern?"

She retorted, "It's already late. Didn't you see that she's sleeping? It's none of your business."

He decided not to continue arguing with Mabie being scolded and shifted his focus onto Vera instead.

Mabie had already covered her with

the quilt, leaving only her petite face exposed. He observed Vera and obviously, her eyes were red. "What's the matter? Why is my daughter crying? Did someone bully her?"

After considering for a moment, she made sure Vera was sound asleep before she slowly pulled her hand out and motioned David to head out with her.

The two quietly left the room, closed the door and sat down in the living room.

"What the hell is going on? Tell me quickly. Vera is crying like this. As her father, can't I know?"

Hearing this, Mabie raised her head and gave him a mocking look. "What are you worried about? Would I not tell you if knew? Vivy was upset. when she came back. She burst out in tears right after I asked her a few want me to

questions. Oh, do yourstor

Keep asking her what was wrong when she was already crying?"

He replied, "I didn't mean that. I thought you knew it, so I asked you."

"I don't know what happened to her. Anyway, it seems like her emotions were shaken. I suppose it's something about relationship matters."

Hearing that it was about a relationship, all of a sudden, he felt relieved and said, "Alas, Vera has grown up."

She said, "Let her have a good sleep first. She's tired of crying. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay, then well ask tomorrow."

"Let's make it clear first. If she doesn't want to tell us, you can't force her."

He asked, "What kind of person do you think I am? Am I that kind of person? D*mn it!"

He was so angry that he marched back to his room. Mabie was left sitting in the room; she sighed. She did not tell David about the car she just saw downstairs. Although she didn't know much about cars, David liked cars, so he would talk to her about them. Therefore, when she saw the car, she could tell that it was an expensive car. Their family was ordinary. How would they relate to such a wealthy family? It's probably between Vera and the other person involved, but she got herself so broken-hearted. It looked like it's not a good thing...

"What rights do you have to stay by my side? rejected you so many times. Can't you understand human language? Or could it be that your brain is so dumb that you can't even understand these words?"

"Look at that woman. She's a joke. After being refused so many times, she still continues to pursue him. Doesn't she know what etiquette and shame is?"

"She is shameless. He clearly said that he wouldn't like her, and she still pestered him. Nobody can be as disgusting as she is."

"What a b*tch! No other person can be cheaper than she is! If I was to be humiliated like her, I would rather just die!"

Vera opened her eyes and woke up from the nightmare.
