“My mother will apologize to you in person later,” Lincoln repeated with a smile.
“She… She’ll come and apologize to me in person?”
“Yes.”
Vicky was in disbelief. ‘The headstrong Valencia is willing to apologize to me?’ 1
Even though what happened was Valencia’s fault, Vicky understood it would be impossible for an elder to apologize to someone younger than her. In fact, the best way to deal with the problem was to pretend it never existed. Even Tyler, in a bid to assuage the public, requested Vicky to apologize to Valencia. ?
Sensing Vicky’s disbelief, Lincoln added softly, “Vicky, I’ve talked to my mother, and she promised not to make life difficult for you anymore.” Then, his tone became apologetic. “I’m so sorry. I was the one who asked you to stay here, yet I didn’t manage to protect you… Instead, I let the person closest to me hurt you.”
Vicky felt a little embarrassed by how cold she treated him moments before after she heard what he said.
“It’s not your fault; you don’t have to be sorry. You helped me out so many times before, but I seemed to have caused you nothing but trouble…so I should be the one apologizing to you.” After a pause, she asked, “How did you manage to persuade her into doing this?”
“I cleared up the misunderstanding and bias she seemed to hold toward you.”
Vicky wanted to ask Lincoln if he ended up fighting with Valencia because of her but felt it would make her seem pretentious if she did ask that. Thus, she decided against asking.
Lincoln, being the sensitive guy he was, knew from Vicky’s silence what she was thinking but did not force her to say it. Instead, he said, “I’m just glad you’re okay. I’ll let you get on with your day now. Call me if there’s anything.”
“Sure thing,” said Vicky before hanging up the phone.
An hour later, Valencia went to see Vicky alone. Seeing the question in Vicky’s eyes, she coldly said, “Lincoln’s still recovering from his hives, so I thought it’s best he didn’t come with me. His hives actually worsened after he insisted on coming out of his room to help you yesterday.”
Vicky’s eyes wavered. ‘Seems like she still has no idea that it was Tyler who caused Lincoln’s face to break out in hives.’
Her heart turned cold after recalling how unrepentant and unremorseful Tyler was about what he did. In his eyes, Lincoln was a devious man willing to do anything to achieve his goal, yet Lincoln was always the one who got hurt in the end. 2
“Is he doing better now?” asked Vicky lightly.
“Well, at least he’s still alive, which is more than I can hope for after all the things you did to him.”
Vicky fell silent. It was pointless to say anything more since doing so would only elicit more sarcasm from Valencia.
Valencia did not seem like she wanted to spend more time with her, so she immediately got down to business. “The reason I’ve come today is to apologize to you and, well… I promise I won’t make life difficult for you in the future.
Having said that, I hope you can walk the other way when you see me the next time.
“And… Even though I don’t like Avery that much, I’d still choose her over you, so it’s not becoming for Lincoln to spend all his time and attention on you. I’ve made up my mind to keep their engagement intact, so I hope you’ll keep your distance from Lincoln from now on.”
