Detecting the delight in his tone, Vera frowned. "Brother Nathan, I'm really sorry about what happened just now."
"It's alright." On the other end of the line, concern was evident in Nathan Leafcastle's voice. "He... he didn't lose his temper with you, did he?"
"No."
"That's good. Then let's talk again when we're both free."
"Brother Nathan!" Vera bit her lip. "Actually, aside from apologizing, there's something else I wanted to tell you. I really appreciate everything you've done for me, but I think, in the future..."
She secretly clenched her jaw, finally steeling her heart.
"We should stop seeing each other."
Nathan Leafcastle was silent for a moment on the other end of the line.
"He's the one who asked you to do this, isn't he?"
Vera remained silent.
"Vera, don't you think this man is incredibly overbearing and selfish? With him, you don't even have any freedom... With a man like that, will you truly be happy?"
Vera turned her face, looking at Kris Cooper not far away.
