Chapter 502 The Repulstve Man
He did not pick up Emily from work as I had imagined. On the contrary, Emily might not even know that her husband was downstairs, at her own company
I glanced through the car window at Vincent standing in front of me and didn't hold back the look of disdain in my gaze
But he seemed to completely ignore my expression, spreading his arms open and insisting on speaking to me through the glass window, "Stop, Olive, I have something to talk to you!"
The underground parking lot was empty and Vincent's voice was still somewhat
recognizable. I was afraid that if he continued shouting like this, it would attract the attention of those who work here
After all, Emily is someone who mentions her husband every day. Vincent might even be better known in this company than I am. The last thing I wanted was to be seen with him and have to go through the trouble of explaining why we're together
Moreover, on that day, Emily just saw me returning to New York and wanted to warn me to stay away from Vincent. If she were to find out that I had met Vincent privately, I'm afraid her anger would ignite the entire Meiling building
I didn't want to cause such trouble just shortly after I started my job, so I had no choice but to temporarily compromise. I made a gesture of
silence to Vincent and then rolled down the car window
I tried to turn him down, "I don't think there was
anything left for us to say."
But perhaps my compromising gave him room for imagination. Vincent, upon hearing my retort, did not show any displeasure, but instead walked over with a smile, even leaning on my car window with both hands
He said, "Come on, Olive, I don't think we're at a loss for words. At the very least, I think I owe you an apology. Whether or not you believe what I've said today, I want you to know that I've felt guilty about you all these years and that I shouldn't have tricked you into marrying me back then because of my own impulsiveness."
I turned my head and glanced at him. It was the
first time Vincent and I made eye contact since we met today. But surprisingly, his gaze seemed genuinely sincere, not like he was joking with me
That being the case, I'm not going to go out of my way to speak harshly to him, and really, I Just want to get this over with
I calmed myself and reclaim, "Vincent, although your apology came late, I must tell you that I had already given up resenting you long ago. I never waste time on people and things I don't care about, so the guilt you mentioned has always been tormenting just yourself."
I was very certain that my expression and tone were calm, but for some reason I don't know, Vincent's face turned pale. He stood still for a long time without responding to me
Time passed second by second, I raised my wrist to check the time. It was almost time for me to meet Cinder and pick up the children, and I really couldn't waste any more energy on this neurotic man
So I started the car to give the order to leave
Vincent showed no intention of giving way and instead, he tightened his grip on the edge of my car window when I pretended to drive away
He insisted, "I hope we can still be friends
Olive, I have waited a long time for you to come back to the country to be able to have the chance to say sorry to you face to face. Don't worry, I'm also married and won't think anything rude about you, I just want to make amends and get your forgiveness for what I did back then."
To be honest, I was getting a little impatient
When Vincent wanted to speak again to persuade me to forgive him, I quickly raised my hand

I interrupted him, "Alright, Vincent, I accept your apology, OK? I accepted! I really don't give a fuck about what happened back then. I hope you won't hold onto those things in the future
Well then, I wish you happiness."
He unconsciously let go after hearing my apology, and I stepped on the gas and quickly drove away from the underground garage
Gripping the steering wheel in frustration, I thought to myself how childish Vincent really was. If a simple apology could erase all wrongs, world peace would be achieved in no time
Some men are truly the most difficult creatures to understand in the world. They persistently
believe that their own thoughts are the laws of the earth, even if it is an apology, others must accept it
I hated such men. It could never change, just like I would never accept a cola without
bubbles
Now, all I hope is that my earlier plea for peace grants me some quiet. I'm praying that somehow the universe hears my wish to never see Vincent again
