Chapter 1149
He didn't expect that Vera would be so willful and even mentioned a murderer. Didn't she know the importance of these matters? A person would only get married once in their life. If she bet her happiness on an unreliable person because of her anger, it would be too stupid.
"Yes, I'm capricious. I've never been so considerate. Are you happy now?"
Her mind was full of resistance towards him, so she spoke without thinking.
After that, she did not want to stay in the car with him any longer. She turned around and was about to open the car door to leave. However, as soon as she laid her hand on the door, he stopped her by holding her wrist. He leaned over, grabbed her wrist in one hand, and pulled her towards him. He then put his other hand between her and the door, not letting her get out of the car.
"What are you doing? Let go of me." She struggled to pull her hand back, but he was too strong. She struggled for a long time but failed to pull her hand back.
However, she did not give up. She was still struggling with all her might, trying to escape.
He quickly locked the car door and let go of her.
She tried to open the car door several times, but failed. She stared at him angrily.
"What the hell do you want?"
"I promised your mother that I would send you home safely."
After knowing that Sheridan had been imprisoned, Quill felt that Vera's current situation was very dangerous. If he let her and the man continue seeing each other, he didn't know what would happen.
However, the current situation was that she resisted him. No matter what he did or what he said, it would only make her angrier.
"I also said, you agreed to that, not me. Open the door and let me get out of the car."
In response, she heard the car moving.
The car quietly drove on the empty street in the night.
In contrast to the calmness of the outside world, her heart was almost ablaze with anger. She didn't know how things had escalated. She seemed to have gotten crazy and lost herself.
As she was thinking, she closed her eyes and leaned far away from him.
He could send her home if he liked. After that night, she would just pretend that she never knew him no matter what he did. This would be the last time.
He was surprised by her sudden silence.
They just kept quiet along the way home. She wanted to get out of the car immediately once the car came to a stop. However, he still had the doors locked. She could only sneer and said, "What? Are you still not going to let me leave, President Hanover? Are you reluctant to let me go?" He was speechless.
The sarcastic look on her face was really a headache for him.
He advised, "I don't want to interfere with you. I just don't want you to get hurt. Don't hang around with such people anymore."
"President Hanover, we have arrived at my house. You have fulfilled your promise. Can you open the door?"
It seemed that it was useless to say anything. He unlocked the doors, and she got out of the car quickly and went up.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
After Vera returned, Mabie hurried to meet her, but she didn't want to say a word and went straight into her bedroom. She didn't even shower before she buried her face in her quilt, letting her tears
fall silently.
The next day, Sheridan still came to the restaurant after work.
After what happened the day before, Vera couldn't look at him in the same way. She didn't expect Amelia to be so unreliable and introduce such a horrible person to her.
However, she hadn't decided whether or not to tell Mabie him being sent to jail before. Maybe she should privately talk to Sheridan?
She then walked to Sheridan and asked.
"Are you free tonight?"
Upon hearing that, Sheridan was stunned and then nodded. "Yes, what's the matter?"
"I feel sorry that you come to the store to help everyday, so I intend to treat you to dinner this evening. I also have something to say to you. What do you think?"
As soon as she said that she had something to say to him, he subconsciously thought that she wanted to discuss the marriage with him, so he immediately nodded.
In the evening, Vera said goodbye to Mabie and went out with Sheridan. David was having tea when the both of them left. He rubbed his chin in satisfaction seeing his daughter and another man looking like a couple.
"What are you laughing at?" Mabie sat down beside him and glared at him discontentedly.
David smiled and said, "I think our daughter is about to get married, isn't she?"
"Why would you think the daughter is going to get married? Can't you see that she doesn't like Sheridan?"
He was a little surprised. "Really? Are they not getting along well?"
"Yes, but don't you think she's very polite to him? It's just like how she treats customers who come to the restaurant to eat."
After hearing her words, he thought for a moment and realized that what she said made sense.
Vera and Sheridan left in a taxi to go to a nearby restaurant.
She wanted to make things clear, so she simply found this restaurant. Besides, she was thinking about how to talk to him without hurting his self- esteem.
Hence, she did not notice a silver Bentley slowly following behind their taxi.
In the restaurant, Vera and Sheridan sat opposite each other.
"This restaurant has a pretty good ambience." He looked at the price on the menu and said with a little hesitation, "It's just that the price is a little expensive."
When she heard this, she naturally said, "Don't worry. I've said that it's my treat today so I'll pay the bill."
He was waiting for these words, but he didn't want to make it obvious.
"I'm a man. How can I let a girl pay the bill? It's too uncouth."
"It doesn't matter."
"Since it's our last meal together anyway, there would be no next time," she thought to herself.
After all the dishes were served,
Vera still had no appetite. She
looked at Sheridan, and said slowly "I'm very grateful for your help during this period of time, but... I feel that I should make some things clear to you."
"Well, go ahead and say it."
"You are really nice and diligent. My parents like you very much, let alone Amelia. She is full of praise for you."
These words made him happy. As
expected, if this woman thought he was excellent, was his plan going to succeed Marrying a virtuous wife and taking the restaurant as well. He would only need to sit back and take the money and let this woman do all the work. Not bad at all.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly said the opposite, "But I think that we are not compatible, so..."
When he heard this, his expression changed dramatically.
"What did you say? Not compatible? Which part? Haven't I done well enough?" He asked.
She explained, "No, you've done very well. It's just that... marriage is about spending a lifetime together, so... I feel that we should be more cautious."
