Veronica couldn’t help but blush every time someone mentioned her crush, "I admit that I’m grateful for your hooking me up with Moran, but that’s not the main thing. The thing is, I don’t hate you anymore, and once I, Veronica, accept you, it’s hard to change. Just don’t betray my brother.”
Ellinor grinned, shifted a bit, and laid back leisurely, “Don’t worry, I won’t betray your brother. Even if I ever have second thoughts, I’d break up with your brother first, then find someone else.”

Veronica jerked her chin up dismissively, "As long as you Howards don't mess with her, my sister-in-law will be just fine!"
Byran looked ashamed, "I came to apologize for my sister. I want to see Ellinor and apologize to her face-to-face."
Veronica said coldly, "She's resting now; she probably doesn't want to see any of you Howards."
Byran, who usually acted like a little tyrant in front of others, now shamefully lowered his head, "But..."
