After chatting for a while, Teresa was ready to leave with her husband.
Before she left, she suddenly saw a figure in front, and she made a sound of disgust.
"Hey? Isn't that... the woman who refused to get off the boat? Why is she here?" Hearing what she said, Vera looked where she pointed and saw a familiar figure walking toward them.
Lauren? Why was she here? Seeing Lauren, Vera had a sinking feeling. However, before she could turn back, Lauren had already seen her and kept waving at her with a smile on her face. Seeing Lauren's expression, Teresa could not help looking at her with disdain. "She is really haunting.
I can't believe she still came. Does she plan to continue hitting on your husband?" Vera was dumbstruck.
Vera didn't like Lauren anymore. She had planned to deal with her incident after she enjoyed most of her fun. Who would've thought she still followed them.

Vera couldn't figure it out. Was it because Quill was too outstanding while her husband was violent toward her, so she wanted to seduce Quill? Thinking of this, Vera's brows furrowed tightly.
"I say, you are just a young girl. Don't be fooled by this kind of woman. She looks rather experienced; she probably has a way with men. Here she comes; you better keep an eye on your husband." "Keep an eye on my husband?" Vera did not understand. "Why should I keep an eye on him? What does this have to do with him?" "Alas, you silly girl. You don't get it, do you?" Quill was not here at the moment; he went to get swater for Vera. Therefore, Teresa spoke bluntly. "There will always be someone who would have an affair in this world. You know what I mean?" Vera was at a loss for words.
She was skeptical. Someone who would have an affair? Did she mean... Lauren? But what did this have to do with Quill? Teresa's husband was obviously not happy to hear this. He sneered, "Vera, don't listen to my wife's nonsense. There really are people who wouldn't have an affair. Like me, I've never and will never have an affair. My wife is my only love." Teresa glared at him, but there was a look of satisfaction on her face.
"Anyway, you need to discipline him and keep an eye on him. That woman looks like she's up to no good. I can already tell when we were on the boat. You don't have to be polite when the tcomes; save yourself from regretting it. You understand?" Vera finally understood what she meant. They were referring to Quill...
She didn't think about it before because she trusted Quill completely. She didn't think he was that kind of person.
She wasn't sure how much Quill liked her, but she knew Quill all too well; someone like him will never like Lauren.
However, since they reminded her out of goodwill, Vera returned a warm smile.
"Thank you for your concern. I'll be careful." Lauren, was it? If she was really that unfaithful and wanted to hit on Quill. Then Vera would let her know she was not one to be bullied easily.
Vera would never allow herself to be hurt by someone whom she had helped.
"Your husband is coming, and so is Lauren. Be careful. We'll leave first." After Teresa and her husband had walked far away, she couldn't help but glanced back and whispered to her husband.
"Vera looks too innocent; I'm not sure if she can handle that woman." Her husband snorted. "It depends on how the man thinks. If he isn't interested in other women, Vera wouldn't have any rivals, even if she is a fool. But if..." He didn't finish his words, but Teresa obviously understood and sighed.
"She looks like a nice person. That man is too excellent. I hope he's not a jerk." "I don't think so. His temperament is extraordinary, and he seems to care a lot about Vera. As for the other woman... To be honest, even if there is a man who likes her, it won't last long. It'll be just for fun." "Humph, you men really don't know what's good for you." "Honey, that's other people, not me." The two left while talking to each other.
At the stime, Lauren finally got to Vera and sat down next to her, acting very familiar.
"Vera, I've finally found you. It's not easy to find you." Lauren rubbed her hands awkwardly, trying to hold Vera's arm.

Lauren's hands froze on the spot. "Are you still blamingfor what happened two days ago?" The incident two days ago? A hint of coldness flashed in Vera's eyes, and her voice beca bit stiff.
"You mean when you wanted to sit next to my husband, but he refused, and then you furiously cursed that he and I get a divorce?" Lauren was at a loss for words when Vera put it so bluntly. She looked at Vera awkwardly.
It had only been two days, and her aura was already a little stronger than before. Vera wouldn't even address her respectfully as before, and her words becharsher. Lauren's eyes turned red at once.
"I'm sorry, Vera. I must have been blinded that day. My husband was
the one who broughton this trip. He had been abusive towardever since we got married. He said this trip was to make up for what be did. But didn't expect him to abuseagain. If you hadn't savedthat day, then I would have been beaten black and blue. When I saw a boat full of couples whiled was all alone, I grew jealous. Vera, I'm not a saint, just an unfortunate pitiful woman. There will be times that I will feel unfair, but that was just a moment of blindness. But I thought it over, and I want to apologize to you officially. I will never make the smistake again, okay?"
Lauren spoke sincerely; there was no hypocrisy in her eyes. An ideal formed in Vera's head She wasn't an unreasonable person. It would be fine if Lauren was really blinded for a moment, but what if she was deceiving or plotting against her all this time? After sthought, Vera said indifferently, "You don't have to apologize to me. You won't have the chance to make such a mistake in the future anyway." Hearing this, Lauren was a little surprised. "Vera, are you still not willing to forgive me? I really reflected upon myself." "It's not that I don't want to forgive
you, but there's no need to. It won't be long before Quill and I return, m home; we won't see you again by that time. Lauren was shocked. "Your guys are going back to your country? You won't be here for long?" X
