Did he want to make up for it?

Vera glanced at him. When she saw Sam's apologetic stare, she could tell that he was sincerely apologizing to her.

What he said made sense to her. The two opposed each other on this matter, so naturally, it would be difficult for one to listen to the other.

However, Vera still felt that he had crossed the line.

So, she did not respond.

Sam was afraid that she would actually leave in a bout of anger, so he humbled himself and gently pleaded.

"I've apologized, so can you please get in the car now?"

Vera was at a loss for what to say.

If she continued to be mad at him, wouldn't it seem that she was being unreasonable?

Maddox seemed slightly agitated when he noticed her fluttering eyelashes. He sat up straight at once.

Minerva had been unconscious for a long time. As she was opening her eyes, the glaring light made it difficult for her to keep them open. Just as she was about to acclimatize to the comforting darkness, she heard a loud click. Then, the room lights were switched off, replaced by a distant, dim lamp.

It was only then that she finally felt at ease to open her eyes.
