I looked at her with reddened eyes. I could not stop myself from embracing her. "Take care of yourself when Theo and I aren't around.”
After the shock, Quinn helplessly said, "Why are you suddenly so emotional? It's not like you're never going to see me again."
There was a pang in my heart. I let go of her and held back the urge to cry, saying, "I know you didn’t envision an ordinary woman like me spending the rest of this lifetime with Theo. We had plenty of conflicts in the past, but I know you did it all for Theo's sake. Besides, you've never done anything to hurt me. I know you're just tough on the outside but soft on the inside. You mean no harm."
Quinn was stunned. After a long time, she realized what I was saying and asked with unease, "Why are you suddenly saying these things?"
I smiled. "Thank you."
I embraced her again after saying that, but the pain in my heart remained.
There were no good or bad in this world, just different opinions.
Quinn was kind to me now, so I regarded her as a good
person and someone who was worthy of my kindness.
Petra was the same.
Quinn patted my back and asked a little worriedly, " Did something happen? Talk to me so we can find a way to solve it together.”
I let go of her and said with a smile, "I do need your help on one thing.”
"Hurry up and tell me." Quinn was worried about me and seemed a little eager.
“Can you lend me ten dollars?"
