章 366: N-no, I’m fine!

Thanks to a certain store clerk, the atmosphere between Ethan and Vanessa had become a bit awkward.

At least for a while after that, neither of them said a word.

They just walked in silence toward Vanessa's house.

Eventually, Ethan figured it was best to clear things up, so he took the initiative to break the uncomfortable silence.

"Hey, don't be mad, okay? It's not what you think. This is all Olivia's fault—she's the store clerk, and she's terrible at passing on messages. She always gets things wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, Vanessa stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Ethan, a bit confused.

"Mad? Why would I be mad?"

Huh? That's not the reaction he expected.

Could this be one of those classic situations where a girl says she's not mad but is actually furious?

Ethan wasn't about to take any chances. He decided to play it safe and asked, "Are you sure you're not mad?"
