The light wind parted Vera's fringe slightly. Her eyes were filled with determination, but other than that, she was expressionless.

"I've already said what I wanted to say. If there's nothing else, please leave, President Hanover."

The tall figure stood firmly before her and stared at her without giving any response.

He had no intention of leaving. She waited for a while, but he still didn't leave. She simply turned around and went back to the restaurant without looking at him.

When she entered, Mabie was watching them not far away. She watched her daughter conversing with the young man by the door.

Although he wasn't very close, Mabie still saw the man's appearance clearly. He looked like a successful man. He remained expressionless from the beginning, not giving away anything. No wonder he could make Vera so heartbroken.

When Mabie saw her daughter heading back, she wanted to stop her but failed. She ended up following her to the kitchen.

"How did it go? Did you do as I told you? Did you two talk it out?"

"Yeah, we did."

Vera, who was initially so energetic, replied weakly after she met with Quill. She looked like a puppet with broken strings, lying there lifeless and uninterested.

"Since you both talked it out, what's the outcome? Why do you look so weak? Did you not reach an agreement?"

"Mom, don't be so nosy." Vera turned and put her head on the table.

Mabie began talking again.

"I am just concerned about my daughter's love life. How is that being nosy? It's not like I'm putting my nose into other people's matters. I saw that handsome man from afar. He's been waiting for you for the whole day. Whatever it is, don't just get upset."

"I wasn't simply upset. He waited for me regarding other matters. I have already clarified things with him and we will not stay in contact."

Vera seemed to have lost all her might after saying that, and buried her face in her palms.

Mabie was speechless.

Since her daughter had said so, she didn't know what to say anymore.

The man remained standing outside till the restaurant closed. Several employees even quietly commented as they left work together.

"Ah, he is so handsome. He seems to be more handsome than the man who came to find Vera last time. He has been waiting for Vera the whole day, hasn't he? Why did she ignore him?"
