“You!” Bruce was extremely upset. If it weren’t for Jonathan’s poor health, he would have liked to give him a firm pat on the shoulder, just like Terence did when he was displeased.

For some reason, he liked Angela the moment he saw her, and his fondness for her grew with every word they exchanged.
