Chapter 245

Thomas quickly approached Monica, asking in a low voice, “Monica, what are you really up to?”

He was not a fool.

At first, he thought Monica was there for him, and a part of him was secretly pleased.

But as things unfolded, it was clear Monica wasn’t there for him at all. She had set her sights on Susan!

“Why would you ask that?” Monica responded with an innocent face. “I just want to offer Susan a sincere apology.”

Thomas took a deep breath before slowly replying, “That incident happened almost half a year ago. There were countless opportunities for you to apologize. Why now? Why here?”

Her expression was even more innocent, Monica replied, “I just didn’t come to that realization before. But now, I truly understand my mistake. Thomas, won’t you allow me to make amends?”

Thomas was momentarily speechless, about to say something more.

But Monica was already standing at the door to Susan’s room.

She raised her hand and knocked.

No answer came.

Monica kept knocking.

Thomas grabbed her hand, his eyes flashing a warning, “Susan might be asleep. Don’t disturb her now.”

“Asleep?” Monica blinked. “That’s unlikely. I remember she’s a night owl.”

“You remembered wrong.” Thomas narrowed his eyes.

“How could I remember that wrong?” Monica said, trying to look pitiful. Tve made a big decision, gathered all my courage to come here and apologize. Thomas, is it that Susan knows it’s me and she doesn’t want to see me?”

“Are you

you thinking too highly of yourself?” Theresa couldn’t stand it any longer. “If you want to apologize, just do it. But Susan doesn’t owe it to you to open her door in the dead of night just to be subjected to your sarcasm. Who do you think you are, expecting the whole world to accommodate you?”

“1…” Monica fell silent, her eyes beginning to redden.

パッド

“What’s this now? Putting on an act of the poor, innocent girl?” Theresa was even more irritated.

“Rose, I really didn’t mean it like that,‘ Monica said in a woeful tone, “But with so many of us here, we might be a bit

“You’re dreaming.” Theresa snapped. “Just barge in? Do you think you have the right?”

A look of hurt crossed Monica’s face. I’m just concerned about Susan. Plus, Rose has been resistant to me seeing Susan. Could it be you know there’s something she’s involved in right now that makes it inconvenient for her to see anyone?”
