Seeing people were paying attention, David not only didn't feel embarrassed, but also raised his voice, addressing the bystanders, "Joanna, I'm sincerely sorry. I promise never to let you down again. If you don't believe me, I can swear right in front of everyone."
"I need everyone here as my witnesses. If I ever fail to make my girlfriend happy, may I be struck by a thunderbolt."
The bystanders detected the couple was quarrelling.
And visibly, the man was the one to blame.
However, seeing David's dashing looks and sincere apology, they started pleading to Joanna on his behalf, "Miss, your boyfriend seems genuinely sorry. It's clear how much he cares about you, please forgive him."
"Indeed, what couple doesn't fight? The arguing adds spice to a relationship."
"Young lady, please forgive your boyfriend. Looks like he's on the verge of tears."
"Yes, young lady, you..."
The onlookers were all for reconciliation, each saying their piece.
