Chapter 2759 Leave Him
Abelyn promptly scrambled out of bed and dashed out of her bedroom. However, there wasn’t a single soul in the living room.
“Dustin? Joan?” she greeted tentatively before she realized her mistake the next moment. How could Joan be here? She must have gone home! But Dustin is probably still here, no? Or has he gone out?
While she was circling the place in search of Dustin, he suddenly came out of the kitchen with a spoon in his hand. “I’m here.”
Oh, it turns out that he hasn’t gone out, after all.
“Um… about last night…” Abelyn started hesitantly as she stared at the man in front of her.
“What about last night?” Dustin deliberately prompted, suppressing the aggravation within him. Well, well… she actually drank like a fish without considering her ability to hold her liquor!
“I presume that nothing happened between us last night?” Abelyn gazed at him solemnly, her expression grave. If something really happened between us, my entire life would be ruined!
“No,” Dustin replied quietly.
All at once, Abelyn’s eyes lit up. Ah, he’s truly a gentleman that he didn’t take advantage of me! At the same time, her lips curved into an approving smile.
“Alright, go and wash up. Then, wake Joan up,” Dustin ordered while heading back to the kitchen to resume his cooking.
“Uhh…” In the bedroom, the person on the bed whimpered. Joan then opened her eyes and stretched before slipping out of bed.
“You’re awake?” Dustin greeted her.
“Yeah.” Joan twisted her neck to soothe the muscles. Right on the heels of that, she inquired wearily, “Where’s Abelyn? Is she up?”
“Yup. I’m here.” Abelyn waved a hand at her in greeting, her expression calm and unruffled. On the contrary, Joan was assailed by waves of fury.
“Abelyn Chipman!” Her voice was colored with rage.
Sensing her ire, Abelyn leaped up from the sofa and instinctively backed away. As she stared at Joan before her, fear crept into her eyes. What’s wrong with her? Why does she appear so mad?
“Why, have you forgotten everything that had happened last night?” Joan drawled, gradually drawing closer to her and pinning her down on the sofa.
Huh? What happened last night? Abelyn’s face was a mask of bemusement as she gazed at the person in front of her. “What happened?”
Good heavens! Is she for real? Has she truly forgotten everything? Joan’s eyes went wide, and she pinned her gaze on her. She created trouble once she started drinking, and now, she has forgotten everything!
“Then, tell me what’s the deal between you and that bartender.” Joan regarded her warily while anticipating her answer.
What else could it be other than the obvious? Both of us are single, and we like each other quite a bit…
“I like him, and he likes me as well,” Abelyn stammered.
Like hell he likes her! That bartender only chose to date her for her money, and the only reason she likes him is that he resembles her ex-boyfriend! We can all see that plain as day, so why is she so blind and simply insists on keeping up the pretense?
Joan rubbed her hands anxiously, her worry shooting through the roof.
“Please reconsider it carefully, Abelyn. We’re both extremely worried about you.” Dustin’s voice was tinged with a hint of disgruntlement.
After all, most of Abelyn’s family were abroad. Besides, it was a sudden decision for her to return to Chanaea this time, so she had no other close friends besides Dustin and Joan.
“What’s there to reconsider? I really like him a lot,” Abelyn retorted willfully.
Like him? Does she really like the bartender or her ex-boyfriend? Joan eyed her skeptically upon hearing that.
“Leave him, Abelyn. He isn’t serious with you. In fact, he has tons of women out there.” Joan was very blunt, but it was the truth.
