Victor Morgan could sense that this woman didn't want to get close to him. Even though he had clearly shown his desire for a deeper connection, she was still pulling away.
She had made her position crystal clear. If Victor Morgan pushed any further, he'd just be shameless.
"In that case, let me at least drive you home. It'll keep the Pemberton family from causing more trouble. I don't mean anything by it; I'm just worried about you being a woman alone."
Vera Warner was still a little touched. After a moment's thought, she didn't refuse and let Victor Morgan drive.
In the car, Victor Morgan found that being with her felt so comfortable, bringing a kind of inexpressible joy.
"Miss Warner, can you tell me about our past?"
"I think it would be better for you to ask Sylvia Schuyler about these things. I know you're curious right now, but some things will only trouble you the more you think about them. I hope you can stay healthy, Mr. Morgan."
