"You sure that they are in cahoots and there is no other reason?" Vernon asked to make sure.
That was the conclusion he got after thinking about the problem as well. But he felt he could be missing something. That was why he wanted to know Helena's perspective to see if there were any other answers to this problem.
Helena shook her head, "They are definitely in cahoots, but…"
"But?" Vernon looked at her with interest.
"But they are not exactly partners. They aren't on equal footing in this so-called partnership." Helena declared without any doubt.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Vernon chuckled and asked. He could already guess what she was thinking, and he could also hear her thoughts, but he wanted to hear her say it.
He wanted Helena to share all her thoughts with him without hiding anything. Maybe that could be the first step to change their relationship from ending the way it ended in their previous life.
