Why isn't she here?

But Bryan didn't hear any of their words. He was worrying about Veronica. "Why they had to involve Veronica?! I won't spare them!!" Bryan thought while clenching his fists and a line appeared between his brows. Bryan was too much annoyed.

Bryan came out of his thoughts when he heard his mom calling out his name again, "Bryan!! Where are you lost? Are even listening to us?" Bryan's mom said with a worried face.

"Sorry, what were you saying?" Bryan asked. His eyebrows were still twitched. Bryan's not in the mood to say anything, but he doesn't want his family members to misunderstand Veronica.

He doesn't want his family to Veronica with that Nancy. Because Bryan knows too much well that Veronica is not at all like that. She (Veronica) is a pure and innocent soul.

"Did something happen between you two?" Ventura asked again.

"Are you suspecting something, mom?" Bryan asked back.
