Kelly realized that something was going on between Vera and Sam. However, as a girl, she stood on Vera's side. If Vera was not willing to let Sam send her home, Kelly was also willing to help her. She pulled Vera close to her and glared at Sam.
"I don't think she's disturbing us at all. If Vera wants to take our car home, I'm more than happy to let her join us. I'll also have someone to chat with, so I won't be bored. Moreover, it has been a while since I saw her in person. Con, let's catch up." After that, Kelly circled her arm around Vera's shoulder like a man would and walked her in the direction of the car.
Sam and Aaron looked at each other. Sam had nothing else to say, but he saw a trace of anger on Aaron's face. When the two women left, Aaron looked at Sam with contempt.
"Bro, you're horrible at this. It's bad enough that you've failed, but you had to dragdown too. I'm not blaming you, but could you stay away from us next time? I had such a good opportunity." Sam was also very helpless. He forced a laugh and said, "I was trying my best, but you guys walked out all of a sudden. What was I supposed to do?" Aaron sighed and looked heartbroken.
Kelly shouted from a distance, "Aaron, what are you still doing there? Do you want to stay here with him?" Aaron saw a silver lining and immediately replied, "No! I'll be right there!" After saying that, he gave a look to Sam to wish him good luck and caught up with Kelly and Vera.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSam remained where he was, looking at Vera, who was taken away. He felt helpless, and he realized that Vera was still resistant towards him. It was such a headache.
After getting into the car, Vera and Kelly sat in the back seat. Aaron sat in the front all alone and drove sulkily. The conversation between Vera and Kelly was heard from the back seat. "Thank you, Kelly." Vera looked at Kelly with gratitude and apologized. With a heroic expression, Kelly patted her chest and said, "What are you thankingfor? I should always help a friend in need. Furthermore, you're my goddess's best friend. If I helped you, it would indirectly mean I was helping her." Vera was dumbstruck.
Another one of Minerva's fangirls.
She didn't think that Minerva's work would attract so many fangirls. Vera felt happy for Minerva, but at the stime, she felt incapable because she hadn't becsuccessful after all these years of work. "But, wasn't that Young Master Yardley's assistant? He likes you?" Kelly was straightforward with her question. She didn't beat around the bush, and it made Vera's cheeks turn bright red. She coughed lightly.
"I don't think... it counts as like." "I didn't know you get shy so easily?" Kelly stared at her red cheeks as if she had just discovered something new. Kelly held her chin in her hand and said, "So he's pursuing you?" Vera nodded and let out a soft hum.
"Ha, he's not bad. He looks rather decent. You should give him a chance." Kelly actually began to evaluate Sam seriously. She suddenly remembered something halfway through her words and said to Aaron driving in front, "He's much more handsthan you." Aaron was flabbergasted.
He silently gritted his teeth. What did he ever do to Sam? Not only did he ruined his chance to be alone with Kelly, but now Kelly said that he looked more handsthan him.
Thinking of this, Aaron felt extremely unsatisfied deep down. "But he's not as tall and strong as me. I look way more assuring than him. If someone were to bully you, I could protect you from them and kick their a*ses.
Kelly glared at him. "Big whoop, stop being such a show-off. For a big guy like you, you sure know how to flatter yourself. You're nothing but a meathead." "So what if I am a meathead? Regardless, you're stuck with me." Aaron sneered.
Kelly flushed and glared at him. "Shut up!" Vera blinked and suddenly realized that she had done something wrong unknowingly. Although she avoided Sam, she bectheir third wheel! No wonder Aaron's expression didn't seem quite right. That was why.
All of a sudden, Vera felt so awkward that she stopped talking.
When they arrived at Vera's place, the corner of Vera's mouth twitched, and she said to the two of them, "Thank you for sendinghome. I'll buy you guys dinner the next tI have a chance." Aaron said, "You're welcome. Don't invite us to dinner next time. I just want talone with Kelly. Thank you." "Wow, that was honest." Vera uttered.

He touched the back of his head with a silly smile on his face. Kelly turned to Vera and said, "Don't 't listen to his nonsense. His brain is not built like everyone else's. You should head upstairs; we'll leave after you go up." "Thank you. I'll be leaving then. Drive safe." Vera quickly went upstairs, then walked to the window and looked out. She saw Kelly looking up, and then she waved at her. Kelly got back into the car with a smile and left.
Looking at the two of them leaving, Vera stood there in a daze. Kelly bickered with Aaron, yet she was very happy. Everyone seemed to be very happy, except her... "Why are you standing there like a fool?" A voice suddenly cfrom behind. Vera was shocked and jumped in surprise.
She turned around and saw Mabie staring at her with a glass of water in her hand.
It was already very late, and Mabie looked so scary. Vera placed her palm over her heart and said, "Mum, why do you have to be so scary? Can you not do this at such a late night? I felt like my heart was about to jump out." "Tsk." Mabie snorted, not taking it seriously. She walked over to the window and looked out, her face full of curiosity. "You say I'm scary, you're the one standing by the window in silence. Do you thelife that's not scary? If I didn't know, I would have thought you were about to jump out the window." "We're on the third floor. Even if I wanted to jump down, I would have gone to the rooftop, alright?" Mabie said, "What are you looking at? Your lover? Did a man send you home?"
Vera took off her shoes and her accessories one by one. Instead of answering Mabie's question, Shen e asked, "Minerva invited you to attend the party. Why did you leave so quickly? Where have you guys been? I didn't see you the whole time." "Oh." Mabie sat down next to her.
"We were just having fun with
Beanie. Your dad loves that kid and thinks he's very smart and adorable.
He's bubbly too. He even said that would belony eleven it would be great if you were to get married earlier and give birth to an adorable and smart baby-tike Beanie." Vera stopped in her tracks, and then she slowly raised her head.
"Mom, are you rushing me?"
"What do you think?" Mabie raised her brows. "You're not young anymore, Vera, and you're auPohly daughter Moreover, you brought over such an adorable child for us to take care of; of course, we'd want a grandchild even more." "It's still too early forto get married! You guys just have fun with Beanie. Don't put your hopes on me, for now." Vera changed into her flats and went back to her bedroom to take a bath. "Mom, you should go to bed early. I'll go to bed after taking a bath. I'm exhausted today." X
