Vera was dumbfounded.

After Quill made the payment, Vera couldn't help scolding him, "Are you crazy? How can you pay twenty thousand for two tickets? Do you think this is a first-class flight?" Wasn't this daylight robbery?

Although she knew Quill was rich and twenty thousand dollars was merely a change to him, she was shocked at how easily he spent the money.

The two men glanced gleefully at their phones before they looked at Vera and Quill, honey-lipped.

"Miss, your boyfriend sure is generous. You're so lucky to have him, so make sure to hold him tight!"

Vera replied, "This is none of your business. I never said he's my boyfriend."

She wanted to break free, but Quill locked her in his arms, refusing to let her go.

"Oh, looks like you're having a lovers' quarrel. No wonder he's chased you all the way here, but that shows how earnest he is. Not bad, dude. I wish you well!"

At first, Quill thought they were loquacious and wanted them to pack up and leave quickly.

However, unprecedentedly, he thanked them after receiving their wishes.

After that, the two men quickly packed up and left. In the meantime, Vera continued to struggle, but Quill never gave in.

In the end, Quill set her things down by the bunk and made her sit down.

It was silent as everyone was sleeping. After the two men left, the whole area basically fell into silence.

Vera could neither speak loudly nor lose her temper in such a quiet environment.

Thus she only looked at Quill as she figured out what to say but faced away in the end.

After a while, she turned her head back and said, "Are you mad? How can you spend twenty thousand dollars on two sleeper bunks?"

Quill didn't know what to say.

He didn't expect her to hold on to that.

Looking at her glare, Quill sighed and said helplessly, "It doesn't matter to me."

What concerned him was that Vera was being bullied earlier in the other carriage.

If he didn't bring her here, she would continue to be stuck in the situation.

Then, Quill started making the bed while Vera quietly watched from the side. She noticed his actions were rather clumsy; it was obvious it was his first time doing this. As the thought crossed her mind, Vera asked, "Is this your first time on a train?"

Quill's hands paused, and then he said, "There's a first for everything."

Was he insane?

"I bought the ticket at random. How did you replace me?"

Vera still couldn't believe Quill was on the train, even now. She felt as if all her pain was just a dream.

No, perhaps all the blissful moments were the actual dream.

She was awake now.

It was time for her to stop daydreaming.

In reality, they were from two different worlds. He belonged to someone else.

Quill fluffed up the pillows and lifted her legs. Then, Vera subconsciously grabbed his arm and asked, "What are you doing?" "Aren't you sleepy? Get some rest."

Quill said as he took off her shoes. Before Vera could even resist, he had carried her onto the bed and placed the covers on her. What was going on? He did all that straight without an explanation after appearing in front of her.

Thinking of Yulia, the sadness in Vera's heart increased.

"You haven't answered my question yet. How did you replace me?"

Quill gently tucked her in and pursed his lips tightly. However, Vera's gaže was piercing enough to make him raise

head and say, "When

s a will there's a way

"Get some rest. You look horrible. We'll be there once you wake up."

His tone was as light as a feather.

However, Vera's heart was wrenching. She closed her eyes, trying to stop the tears from falling.

"Are you trying to make it up to me? Do you think I'll forgive you for hiding the truth by doing all this?" Hearing that, Quill's gaze darkened.

It wasn't that he didn't want to tell her, but there was no need for her to know his traumatic past.

It was his alone. Why should he let her in on it and suffer with him?

What he wanted to give her was a warm, blissful

world.

Instead of the blazing scene filled with piercing screams.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"Then why didn't you say a thing?" Vera was still unable to accept becoming a homewrecker.

She felt a splitting headache at the

thought of this. Hence, she turned her back to him before he could say anything. "Forget it; no need to explain it is what it is. Go down and go home at the next station. Stop following me."

She had left home to calm herself down and to forget Quill as well.

If he insisted on following her, then what was the point of this journey?

Her rage flared the more she thought about it. Vera simply pulled the covers over her head, ignoring Quill.

In fact, although Quill thought things weren't that serious, he didn't plan on telling her in her fit of rage as she was incapable of reasoning at the moment.

Alas, she would definitely overthink

after her efforts were made into a laughing stock. Hence, Quill decided to accompany her over the next few days and do whatever she wanted

until she had calmed down.

Only then would he tell her his past.

A deep sigh sounded from above her, and Vera heard Quill say, "Get some rest. I'll be here."

Hearing this, Vera's tears spilled out of her eyes.

Before all this, Vera would feel safe and secure if he said this to her.

However, it just felt like cruel mockery now.

Quill had a fiancee.

Yet he chased after her while his fiancee was at his company.

Ironically, Vera had no clue. She even handed Yulia to Quill on a silver platter, took her to the hospital, and brought her food.

Yulia was most likely laughing her head off.

Vera recalled the message Yulia sent her earlier.

She said Quill was hers, and he would shoulder the responsibility.

Vera didn't want anything to do with it at all...

Tears streamed down her face like a never-ending waterfall, but because Quill was next to her, she could only suppress her sobs as she bit her lower lip hard.

However, some of her plaintive cries still escaped no matter how hard she tried.

Quill's heart wrenched as he heard her sobs.
