Ultimately, Dominic couldn't take it anymore. Despite his tight grip, he pulled Nancy away from Vespera, seized her wrist, and pushed her into a chair.
He yelled angrily, "Look at the mess you've made of yourself!"
Nancy probably realized that her irrational actions had turned her into a spectacle. She felt deeply embarrassed. With her hands covering her face, she was even more hesitant to lift her head and let him see her current disheveled state.
Vespera used a tissue to clean the tears and snot that had gotten onto her. She watched Dominic reprimand Nancy, noting the clear anger in his expression. Most of the time when she had seen him, he was composed, distant, and poised.
Even when upset or displeased, he seldom lost his temper. He gave the impression of someone who could always manage his emotions, never showing his feelings on his face, reflecting a strong sense of self-control.
Nancy was the only person who, whether during their time in Seloria or upon her return now, could consistently unsettle him. In a way, wasn't that a kind of uniqueness? Maybe he had truly loved her at one point. To transform love into hatred, there must have been love initially.
There was a fundamental distinction between liking someone and loving them, wasn't there?
"You two should talk. I'll wait outside," Vespera said calmly.
By the time Dominic turned to face her, she had already crossed the threshold and walked away without glancing back. Vespera went to settle the bill. She exited the restaurant under the owner's somewhat curious gaze and stood beneath a tree's shade.
