“You're out so quickly?" he exclaimed as he wrapped a scarf around Rena's neck.

In response, Rena held his hand and gave it a weak squeeze.

“When I got there, I realized that I had nothing to say to her."

Shortly after, Vera and Joseph came out.

Roscoe ran to Vera and wrapped her in his embrace. Seeing that Vera's eyes were a little red, he placed his hand on the back of her head and buried her face against his shoulder.

Watching this, Joseph couldn't help but feel a dull pain spread in his heart.

"I'm sorry," he said to Vera, his voice on the verge of cracking.

Misty-eyed, he walked toward his car slowly.

Vera leaned her head against Roscoe's chest as she watched Joseph walking away.

Although Joseph and Vera once loved each other, they also hurt each other very much. Now that Aline had to face the music, Vera thought it was time to move on from the past and let bygones be bygones.

After a while, she shouted, "Joseph!"

Joseph's body froze as soon as she called his name. When he turned around, Vera told him, “I forgive you."

For a long time, Joseph just stood there like a statue. After some time, he finally managed to nod and reply, “Okay.”

After that, he entered the car, started the engine, and slowly drove away.

With the hatchet finally buried, whatever ties connecting both Joseph and Vera had finally been severed. From now on, the two of them would no longer have anything to do with each other.

After getting into Waylen's car, Rena took off her scarf and lowered her voice, saying, "Roscoe really is a magnanimous man, isn't he?"

Waylen stepped on the gas pedal and firmly held the steering wheel with both hands.

With his eyes focused on the road, he smiled and asked, “What? What have I done to make you think that I'm petty?"

Rena leaned against the back of the chair and shot him a confused Look.

“Why would you say that? Honey, you're the most magnanimous person I know."
