Even after saying what she wanted to, Jennifer's expression remained mysterious. "All right, I've told you everything I know. Please keep this between us. See ya." After she left, Vera was still standing mindlessly at the spot, unable to digest what the receptionist had divulged to her.

Yulia was Quill's fiancee?

If what she said was true, then... What is she?

A homewrecker who forcibly wedged herself in between two lovers?

"Missy, are you going to get in the car or not?"

The driver's urge pulled Vera back to reality. "I'm sorry, sir. Could you please wait for me for a little while? I have something to confirm."

"Wait for you? What about my business?"

"Please, sir. I'll tip you more for the fare later."

Hearing what she said, the driver nodded with satisfaction and replied, "Fine, go on then. But don't make me wait for too long."

After that, Vera ran back. But she stopped again halfway.

Wait, why should she ask Yulia about it?

If she really was Quill's fiancee, then Vera should ask Quill about it instead. After all, Quill was her boyfriend.

She wanted to hear it from him.

Thinking of this, Vera turned back. Seeing that she came back so quickly, the driver looked at her quizzically.

"You don't need to go in anymore?"

"No. I just remembered I have something else to settle. Let's go."

"Where to?"

At first, Vera had wanted to give him the Hanover Villa address, but it turned into hers when her words reached the tip of her tongue. "Let's go." Although she didn't know where Quill was at the moment, she decided to let him cool down if he didn't want to see her.

Besides, Vera's mind was in a state of chaos. Jennifer's words had left her gobsmacked.

She thought she should go home and think things through.

After returning home, Vera went to bed before even having dinner. As she laid down, tears flowed unconsciously, and then the floodgates opened.

D*ckhead...

Even if he never celebrated his birthdays, he could've just told her. Then she wouldn't have done so. Why wouldn't he say a thing? Vera curled up into a ball as she hugged her quilt. Her tears were like beads on a broken string, jostling their way out of her eyes. She had spent so much time and effort preparing it. All she wanted was to celebrate his birthday and... tell him she was pregnant. However, he left just like that. She couldn't even replace him.

D*ckhead... A*shole...

Vera kept cursing Quill in her heart. She turned over and continued to cry.

Why couldn't he just tell her?

Knock, knock...

"Vivy, what's going on? You came home without a word. Don't you want to eat something?"

Mabie's voice startled Vera. She quickly yanked the quilt over her head. She couldn't speak now because she had just cried. If she did, her voice would definitely betray her, and Mabie would be suspicious. If her mother found out she had cried, Mabie would definitely interrogate her.

Therefore, Vera could only hide under the quilt and pretend to sleep.

"Vivy, come out and eat."

Mabie stood at the door to the room, calling Vera, but there was no response from inside. Therefore, David came over and asked.

"Is she asleep?"

Mabie raised her eyebrows when she heard that. "This early?"

"Her dark circles have been very heavy recently. She might be tired. Let her sleep. She can eat when she wakes up."

Hearing this, Mabie thought David was right. Hence, she left her alone.

On the other hand, Vera continued to cry under her quilt.

Probably because she got too tired from crying, Vera fell asleep.

After some time, someone seemed to be knocking on her door again.

Vera was woken up by the noise. Then, she heard Mabie asking, "Vivy, are you awake? Quill is here for you. He said he couldn't get through to you."

When Vera heard Quill's name, her grim expression changed in a blink of an eye. Stunned for a moment, she quickly sat up.

"Quill is here?" She thought.

What time was it?

Vera took a look at the clock and found it was already midnight. She looked out the window and saw that it was pelting heavily outside.

To Vera, nothing could be worse than the weather coupled with what had happened that day.

She remained seated in a daze when Mabie came in.

"What's wrong with you? Did you hear what I said..."

Before she could finish her words, Mabie noticed Vera's eyes were as swollen as walnuts. She was shocked. "What's wrong? Why are your eyes so swollen? Was it Quill?" Vera looked at Mabie in a daze. After a while, she shook her head and said, "No. Where is he?"

"He's outside. I let him in, but he refused. I was wondering why. Did you two fight?"

Fight?

If it was just a normal fight, then it was definitely not a big deal.

"No, but there's something that I want to replace out from him," Vera said as she lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Seeing her daughter like this, Mabie couldn't help holding he "What do you want to ask? If you don't want to see him, I can..."

"Mom, I'm fine."

Vera held Mabie's arm and forced a bitter smile. "There's something I have to replace out from him."

"Alright, if you insist. I've got your back."

After that, Vera changed before she walked outside.

Quill did not enter the house but stood in the corridor and waited for her. When Vera went out to look for him, Mr. and Mrs. Zais were whispering.

"What happened to Vivy? It's already so late; why didn't Quill come in?"

Mabie pinched him and said, "They seemed to have fought. It shouldn't be a big problem. Just let them figure it out themselves."

David clicked his tongue and shook his head helplessly as he said, "You girls sure get mawkish easily. Screaming over issues that aren't a big deal, giving us a headache."

Hearing that, Mabie glared at him

with wide eyes. "Take that back! How dare you blame women for being unreasonable when you men are so insensitive towards serious issues? That's your daughter you're talking about. I'll throw you out if you dare say another word."

David fell silent.

Well, best not to mess with the tigress. He decided to be economical with his words.

David rubbed his nose and sat back on the chair, quietly waiting for the result.

After Vera came out, she found Quill standing in the corridor, his clothes nearly soaked. She subconsciously felt sorry for him and wanted to invite him in. However, when ske recalled what she had heard she turned her heart to stone.
