Thomas did not want to worsen Yvonne's misconception of Vania's character. After all, they were hostile enough to each other.
If things got worse, they might never make peace.
He still had hope that they might one day reconcile.
"I only just mentioned her name," Yvonne commented, shooting him a questioning look. "Why did you react that badly?"
He froze for a moment before saying, "I just don't want any more misunderstandings between the two of you. I'm worried that you might get hurt if you go after her."
"Is that so?" She studied his face and had a feeling that what he said was not the whole truth.
He merely pursed his lips and smiled at her. "Of course," he said. "It took a lot of effort to let you come home. I do not want to give her any excuse to target you."
She stared harder at his face. She did not think that was the only reason he had in mind but kept quiet in the end.
After a few long moments of contemplation, she asked, "Now, why did you call out to me just now?"
She kept her eyes trained on his face. He seemed rather anxious as if there was a big mystery that was bothering him.

Was Vania actually going after her?
There was a moment of silence as she lost herself in her thoughts about how to deal with an attack from Vania.
Was Vania actually going after her?
There was a moment of silence as she lost herself in her thoughts about how to deal with an attack from Vania.
It was then that he recalled why he called out to her. "I was thinking since you are finally back, we should find a chance to catch up with everyone else. What do you think?"
Naturally, "everyone" referred to Vania, Bryan, and the rest.
However, his mind was so full of thoughts of Vania that he did not realize he had contradicted himself.
"Huh?" She shot him a questioning look, completely baffled by his train of thoughts.
"Just what are you thinking?" she brashly asked.
"I do not get you at all. You were the one who told me to stay away from them. Now, you are asking me to catch up with them?"
"Are you not afraid of any schemes they might plan for the gathering? Perhaps I would be the one starting trouble instead?"
There was an interrogating tone in her voice.
He did not know how to respond to her questions.
Indeed, the logic of his current train of thought was rather weird. Previously, he had told her to avoid Hanson and Vania because he did not want her to be hurt by coming in contact with them.
In reality, she was already hurt. In fact, even the entire Kepler Family was affected.
Now, however, he suggested a gathering just so he could see Vania. That made him feel guilty.
Nevertheless, he had no better excuse to meet up with her outside of what he had just suggested.
Slowly, he lost himself in his thoughts.
When Yvonne noticed his silence, she frowned harder. "Your current behavior is really incomprehensible to me."
After all, she would rather die than believe her brother had fallen in love with Vania.
Even so, he had not even realized that horrifying fact yet.
"You just need to know that your wellbeing is and will always be my priority," he eventually answered.
Deep down, he somehow felt that it was not the truth.
Not knowing what to do, Yvonne sighed and grumbled, "Do as you please."
