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 come to 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 some time, 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.

"There's no way I can be with him anymore."

Mabie had not anticipated Vera to be so adamant, even in front of them. Testing the water, she asked, "What happened?"

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?
