He thought she was kicking up a fuss? Vera had not expected Quill to sweep her frustrations under the carpet.
Was this a small fry to him? "Since you think I'm fussing over nothing, then don't cto me, ever again." After that, Vera walked into the house, slamming the door in Quill's face.
Meanwhile, Vera met her eavesdropping parents' gaze.
The three of them lapsed into an impromptu staring contest.
After stime, David scratched his nose in embarrassment and chuckled. "Vivy, it's absolutely normal for lovers to quarrel. You can be mad, but there's no need to be so harsh to him." Vera stood stiffly in place, her expression as grim as the dead.
David continued, "Your mother and I heard your conversation with Quill. We think you sounded commanding, but..." "Mom, Dad." Earnestly, Vera looked at them and said, "I'm calling it quits." Mabie was silent.
Similarly, David was speechless.

Vera didn't want to explain, so she shook her head and said, "Anyhow, I will never be with him ever again." "Vivy, I've told you before. Lay it all out in the open. Don't you think it's a little too much to break up over a lover's spat?" Too much? Vera didn't think so after finding out she was a homewrecker. Instead, ending it was the best solution. "I'm going to bed." After that, she stalked into the room without any other explanation.
Mabie and David exchanged glances, after which Mabie asked, "What do you say?" David replied, "How would I know? She does look pretty serious this taround. Should we... ask Quill what happened?" Mabie agreed. After all, she knew how much Vera loved Quill, so there must be a reason for her to break up with him so suddenly.
As the thought cropped up in her mind, Mabie decided to quietly push open the door.
However, Vera suddenly walked out of her room and said, "Mom, Dad, go to bed. I've already made up my mind. No one's to ask about it." Mabie's hand froze in midair.
Then, David nudged Mabie in the back. "Why don't we just leave it as it is? We'll talk after she's calmed down." Mabie nodded. She was her daughter, after all, so she was naturally on her side.
Meanwhile, Quill had waited outside for a long time, wanting to give Vera a call. However, her phone was off, and it seemed like she was trying to test his patience. Alas, Vera did not live alone, and he didn't want to bother her parents so late in the night.
If he had known this would happen, he would have bundled Vera directly into the car when she'd cout earlier.
He would lock her in the car and explain everything inside. Even if she were to get mad, at least they would keep it contained.
However, now...
Quill raised his hand and rubbed his temples, exhaustion clear in his eyes.
After Vera returned to the room, she couldn't stop her tears from falling. She went into the bathroom and splashed cold water on her face to gather her thoughts.
As she looked at her swollen eyes in the mirror, she forced herself to smile.
It wasn't bad that she'd found out about it now. At least she hadn't told Quill she was pregnant, and that spared her sof her dignity.
She was pregnant...
The smile on Vera's face crumbled as she thought of the baby in her belly. Her hand slid down gradually, caressing her belly.
Why now? Why did she have to get pregnant now? She had been ecstatic about the news, but now? If she broke up with Quill, what would becof the baby? Previously she had felt that she would never love anyone else but Quill, and she still held her ground.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, what was she going to do with the baby now that they were no longer together? Vera slowly closed her eyes. Should she keep the baby or not? The next day, Mabie went to wake Vera up with a cautious tone. However, she didn't expect Vera to look so put together. She had her breakfast quietly, and she seemed to have a good appetite. Mabie was afraid Vera wouldn't want to eat, but she did, to her surprise.
She looked up to meet her parents' blank gazes after she was done with her breakfast. She asked, "Mom, Dad, why aren't you eating? Can staring atfill you up?" To their surprise, Vera was even teasing them. David and Mabie exchanged glances before Mabie asked, "Vivy, are you okay?" Flashing a smile, Vera replied, "I'm great. Mom, don't worry about me; eat your breakfast." David also thought Vera's reaction was out of the ordinary, so he asked, "Are you really? It's only been one night. Did you guys make up over the phone?" Make up? Impossible!
Although the smile was still hanging on Vera's face, it had obviously faded m a little after listening to David's M words. However, she quickly recovered and said, "No, never. I meant what I said yesterday, and it is final." Both David and Mabie were baffled by her words.
"I know you're curious about what happened, but I don't feel like talking about it. I'll tell you guys when I feel better."
Mabie then put her hand on Vera's wrist. "Silly girl, you don't have to tell us if you don't want to. We're your parents; we won't force you to do anything. But... don't you think you might regret your decision?" Regret? It saddened Vera to leave Quill, and she loved him dearly. However, she refused to be his mistress while still being all c'est la vie, no matter the magnitude of her love for him.
Hence, ending the relationship was the best choice.
Vera shook her head.
"I won't regret it." Since she was so determined, David and Mabie did not say anything else.
After that, Vera informed them that she was leaving to open up the restaurant and left.
After she left, Mabie sighed and said, "They were doing fine before; what happened? Judging from hero M expression, I don't think there's any chance for them to get back together." "Forget it. Whatever will be will be." "I wouldn't want to force her to get back together with Quill, would I? Although he's decent, we should respect Vera's decision." "What a pity. I really like the lad too."
