His face darkened as he was annoyed upon the mention of her name.
His face darkened as he was annoyed upon the mention of her name.
Gareth placed the mug down. Let alone drinking wine, he didn't have any desire to drink water.
Vincent could tell that he was troubled. He asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Are you still worried about
your grandmother? Didn't Elisa already figure out a way?"
Jeremy shot a glance at him without saying anything.
Clearly, Jeremy didn't agree with Vincent's questions. Just like Gareth, Vincent was also vexed about
something.
Nevertheless, Gareth remained silent.
Upon seeing that, Vincent gulped down the glass of wine in his hand before putting it down irately.
"You're not the only one who's mad – I feel the same way too! That dumb woman – she doesn't know
what's going on at all. She's not even talking to me now, and she blocks all my numbers. Sometimes, I
really want to strangle her."
Vincent usually wouldn't complain about his fights with Rachel because he was worried about being

But now that he had already decided to take action, he vented his anger naturally, not worried about
their opinions of him anymore.
Jeremy looked at him before saying calmly, "It's because you didn't cherish her all this while – you've
been picking fights with her instead. Of course, things would turn out this way today. You will have to
put in more effort."
"Come on! How would I have known that this would happen? If she had given me that sooner, we
wouldn't have had any interactions at all, and I wouldn't have gotten together with her. She would not
have started hating me!"
Gareth glanced at him coldly. "So, what are you complaining about now? You don't want to be hated by
her, or are you regretting getting to know her better?"
Vincent's face turned gloomy. "F*ck, of course, it's the latter! She's just a tomboy, after all! I can't
believe that I've fallen for her now, seeing how much I looked down on her before. Do you know what a
disadvantage it is to be in the position I'm in right now?"
He filled his glass with wine and gulped it down again, flashing his annoyance at the situation.
He didn't even know what else he should say.
Jeremy smiled as he said, "Just bear with it. What goes around comes around. Karma is a b*tch, you
know."
"D*mn it!" Vincent scoffed indignently. "Whet hes it got to do with kerme? I'm doing it for my lete

At that point, Vincent suddenly realized it was the wrong thing to say and stopped himself.
Jeremy arched one eyebrow. "Hmph… it seems like you finally realize she's not just an outsider."
Vincent's brows were locked tightly into a frown. He was at a loss for words, so he took a deep breath
and said, "Alas… help me out, guys. We can't be like this forever. Do you know–"
"Why not?" Jeremy's interest was piqued all of a sudden. Even Gareth's earlier grievances seemed to
ease slightly as he focused on Vincent.
"What? How could you say that? Are you my friend?" Vincent flared up and poured himself another
glass of wine.
Gareth swept an icy glance at him. "Pestering people has always been your strong suit, hasn't it?"
On top of that, Vincent had taught him the same tactic.
However, Vincent's lips twitched as he said, "I've tried everything I could, but that woman simply
doesn't buy it. What else can I do?"
