"I do wish that you guys would be able to get along with each other."
"Ha." Yvonne sneered coldly and looked at Thomas incredulously before saying, "Right from the start, we were never able to get along with each other. Besides, I never intended to become buddies with her anyway. Thomas, don't you think that you're being too presumptuous to force your thoughts onto me?"
This was the first time ever that Yvonne had spoken so aggressively toward Thomas and he was slightly taken aback by that. For a moment there, he could not come up with the words to rebuke her statement.
Meanwhile, Vania watched as the two siblings bickered, so she piped up, "I have no interest in being involved in your family matters."
Subsequently, she walked off.
Thomas instantly turned to look in the direction of where she trailed off, but he could no longer find any excuse to get her to stay.
At that moment, Yvonne questioned incredulously upon noticing Thomas' expression. "Do you have any idea what I have to say about the look on your face now?"
Thomas could not seem to comprehend her words. "What are you trying to say?" he responded in a slightly apprehensive voice because he could somehow sense that Yvonne might have found out.
She revealed a purposeful chuckle. "Thomas, don't tell me that you've fallen in love with Vania?"
At that moment, Thomas was shocked by her statement.
He was indeed taken aback and his shocked expression was not an exaggeration at all because he did not expect Yvonne to discover this matter he had kept to himself.
He instantly warned her, "Vania's in a relationship with Hanson, so if anyone with ill intentions hears this, that could lead to unnecessary trouble."
It was evident that he was trying his best to coax Yvonne since he was very much afraid that she would take things into her hands. No one else must find out about this!
"But then, you don't mask the longing in your eyes at all upon seeing her!" She would not have discovered it otherwise.
"I was just thinking about the issue between the two of you." Thomas frowned. Clearly, he no longer intended to talk about the matter.
However, Yvonne did not trust his excuse at all. "I honestly can't believe that you'd fall for her."
"I'm not," Thomas denied immediately.
Meanwhile, Yvonne no longer bothered to argue with him as she said, "Whatever you say, then."
She noticed his spaced-out look and shot a meaningful look at him as she asked, "Are you leaving? Or are you going to come with me?"
Naturally, Yvonne meant to ask if he intended to go after Vania.
As soon as Thomas heard that, he chided Yvonne, "Stop this nonsense and let's go. Today's incident has serious repercussions, so we need to go back and figure out a solution to resolve this."
Nonetheless, he was regretful, as even if he went after Vania right now, there would be no space for him by her side.
"Okay, let's go." Yvonne did not pursue the matter relentlessly. She knew that she had to plan her next move carefully because today's matter was indeed a troublesome one.
…
As for Vania, she noticed that Hanson was exceptionally silent, so she asked, "Darling, what's wrong?"
He had not spoken much since they returned from the event.
Hanson kept his eyes on her and there was a hint of jealousy in them. "Darling, from now on, stay away from Thomas."
Vania was not quite sure why he would suddenly say so, but she agreed right away and said, "I've always maintained a distance from him, so you've got nothing to worry about at all."
Subsequently, he replied, "I'm not worried about your actions. I'm just concerned about him."
Initially, it had merely been a deduction on Hanson's part, but after today's incident, he was very sure that Thomas harbored feelings toward Vania. However, it was beyond his expectations that something like this would come from Thomas.
