Regal sighed before shutting down the laptop. He turned to look at her and said, "Are you trying to get me killed? If anyone from your family sees us together, they would bury me alive—"
"I told you that I am only here to talk to you." Glynn placed her hand on Regal's and said to him, "I just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between the two of us. Truly, Regal—I... I had no idea that my mother said those things to you. If I had known then, I would have run away from home to be with you."
If she had run away from home, then it would be his skin that would have been peeled off, thought Regal when he recalled the warnings that Mrs. Nelson had given to him when he was dating Glynn. He requested, "Glynn, you should go back. It was I who tried to reach way past my station and did something wrong. I have learnt my lesson and I will never bother you again."
