Locked under Adam Jones's deathly glare, Robert Green's pupils shrank sharply, "I'm sorry, President, I misspoke."
I shouldn't have told the truth.
Adam actually didn't take it too much to heart; it was just the starkly different answers from Robert Green and Aunt Lily that sent a chill through his heart.
Who was telling the truth between these two?
Was Robert Green really his man, or was he Elly Campbell's?
Putting together the fragments in his mind, it seemed that Aunt Lily's version was more truthful, but somehow, deep down, he felt more inclined to side with Robert Green.
"Continue."
"Yes."
Seeing that Adam didn't pursue the issue, Robert Green nodded and continued:
"Four years later, the lady reappeared, and you, realizing your mistake, began to woo her anew."
Ha! "Realizing your mistake" sounds nice, doesn't it? It was more like relentless badgering, okay?
But unless Robert Green was tired of living, he would never dare voice that out loud.
