Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2529

“Whoa, who would’ve known, huh?”

“She’s clearly lovestruck!”

“Dustin, why don’t you just accept her?” A few girls began echoing similar sentiments.

“Shut up!” Dustin snapped.

Joan did not feel annoyed by this scene. Instead, she felt relieved for Dustin.

In life, it was already a blessing to be loved by another, and to her, love trumped fame and fortune. Joan flashed a smile at Dustin.

However, her smile was like a stab to his heart.

Shouldn’t she be jealous? Why can’t I detect any jealousy in her eyes? Dustin sighed softly, a wave of sadness washing over him.

“Dustin, can you be my boyfriend?” asked the woman.

For a woman, a confession like that required immense courage.

Everyone released collective gasps and stared wide-eyed at Dustin as they waited for his answer with bated breath.

“First of all, there’s someone else I liked. And second, even if there isn’t, I still wouldn’t want you as my girlfriend,” Dustin replied briskly while sneaking furtive glances at Joan every now and then.

However, Joan did not once look at him. Instead, she had her head bowed as she trained her eyes on her phone, pretending not to know anything.

“Is it because of Joan? That someone else is Joan, isn’t it?” the woman demanded.

As on, everyone shifted their attention to Joan.

“It doesn’t matter who that someone else is. What matters is that I don’t like you,” came Dustin’s cruel answer.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Since we’re all done eating, it’s time to head home.” Once again, Joan’s closest friend came to the rescue.
