Chapter 2963
Shaking his head, Jake heaved a sigh.
Ah, this is all thanks to De Duff! "Where did you go that you''re only home at this hour?"
Dustin instantly sprang up from the sofa and strode over to the woman who was slowly making her way
into the house.
Chuckling, Abelyn replied sheepishly, "I just went out for a drive"
Oh, really? But why did someone tell me that she was with Jake Wilson this afternoon? Could it be that
the two have of them have again struck up a deal? Dustin eyed the woman in front of her, his stomach
in knots.
He found her behaving rather out of character these days.She had lost her bubbly and cheerful
disposition of the past, turning grim instead.
Many a time, she would space out though he had no idea what she was thinking.
Don''t tell me she betrayed Joan?
"What did you do this afternoon?" he deliberately asked.
"Nothing.Why?"
Abelyn swiftly replied.
As Dustin studied the woman before him, a wave of displeasure welled within him for some reason.He
hated being lied to no matter who it was.His hands clenched into fists, and suspicion glinted in his
eyes.
Argh! I love her so much, yet she went to meet Jake Wilson behind my back! No matter the reason, she
should still tell me about it, no? At the sight of his towering rage, something urred to Abelyn.
"I went to meet Jake Wilson today" she admitted in a mere whisper with her head lowered.
All at once, Dustin''s eyes lit up.
Clutching her shoulders, he promptly questioned, "And then? Why did he ask you out? And what did he
say to you?"
Fear seized him that she would be manipted by Jake.
"He just wanted to instigate me to hurt Joan, but don''t worry, for I''ve already declined.Joan is my best
friend, so how could I possibly hurt her?"
Abelyn murmured though the disdain brimming in her eyes told another story altogether.
Phew! Fortunately, she didn''t get taken in! Breathing a sigh of relief, Dustin hugged her tightly.
However, stark disappointment enveloped Abelyn.
Do I alwayse second to Joan Watts in his heart? At that thought, a cold gleam shed across her
eyes.
"Dustin, what if...This is a purely hypothetical question, okay? What if Joan and I had a huge row one
day? What would you do? Who would you side with?"
Abelyn asked, staring at the man in front of her seriously.
In all honesty, Dustin had never found that question difficult.
Indeed, he had once loved Joan, but the person he now loved was undoubtedly Abelyn.
However, regardless of whom he loved, he would still side with the person in the right.
In that sense, he was still very much rational.
"Why would you suddenly ask that?" he queried in a low voice, kissing her on the forehead gently.
He knew that his answer wasn''t the one she wanted.
"Answer me! You must answer me!" Abelyn urged frantically.
"Alright, let''s have dinner, okay?"
As Dustin said that, he headed in the direction of the dining room while dragging her along.
"Dustin Silverman!"
Abelyn snapped as she blew a gasket.
Could it be that everything he said back then was a huge lie? And don''t tell me that everything between
us now is also fake? "You would side with Joan, right? You still love her, don''t you? What about me,
then? What am I to you?"
Abelyn bellowed in a shaky voice.
Why did she suddenly be so unreasonable? Dustin regarded the woman in front of him skeptically
as aggravation swamped him.
While she still quibbled with me in the past, she never once acted this unreasonable and kept harping
on the same thing! She knows full well that she shouldn''t bring up Joan before me, yet she has
How pointless! Suppressing the brewing fury within him, he forced the corners of his mouth up and
shed her a smile.
