Her mood was full of anxiety and she started complaining. What on earth was i thinking? I should have figured it out. Why did i accept you in the first place?

Or circumstances or your thoughts had changed and your lovely phrase "this time that I have completed Junior High School, I am grown to be performing such duties" is now a mirage?
Hmm! Don't be annoyed. That was his lovely phrase and answer to all the questions asked then.
