Following that, he continued walking off, leaving Fabiola momentarily too stunned to even react. After all, he was always so gentle with her, yet…
Just as she was about to chase after him, Neal grabbed her by the wrist before saying, “…What did you mean by that, Fabiola? That aside, stop sticking by that jerk’s side-”
“Neal. I… I need to talk to him, so leave me alone,” interrupted Fabiola before continuing to run after Hanley, leaving Neal speechless. To think that she would prioritize that man over him… How depressing!
As he was pursing his lips, he began wondering if this was how Fabiola had felt in the past… Every time he had rejected her… Had they all hurt this badly? Clenching his fists, he swore to himself that he would no longer do such things to her again…
Moving back to Fabiola, she ended up silently following Hanley for a while… and in the end, she couldn’t help but mutter, “…Are… you mad…? That aside, I really have been waiting for you this entire time, you know…? I know I should be mad that I found you shopping instead of working, but I’ll let that slide. Also, I went to sea and capture more fish for you to cook! They’re still in the fish tank…”
Pausing for a moment, Hanley pursed his lips before replying, “…Though I’m honored that you wanted my company, I can’t imagine you being sad because of my absence.”
“…I mean, you weren’t there to see it…” muttered Fabiola who had no idea that he was implying that she had been having fun with Neal instead.
When Fabiola arrived home, the depressed woman immediately locked herself up in her room. Why the hell was he acting all cold like that all of a sudden? It made no sense! That aside, why was she being so bothered about this…? Even after all the times that Neal had rejected her advances, none of them hurt as much as Hanley’s rejection…
Fast forward to that night, Lea invited Fabiola out to have some fun… but it didn’t take long for her to realize that Fabiola was not in the mood.
Fabiola herself kept thinking about Hanley’s iciness, and in the end, she knew this couldn’t go on. She had to have a proper talk with him! With that, she got her phone out… But before she could even start dialing, she received a call from an unknown number…
