Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2572
Dustin knew that it was a very realistic problem, just that he could not deal with it with an iron fist.
At home, he was engaged in a pensive mood and did not realize the door was being opened. Suddenly, a woman’s voice startled him. “Dustin, between women and career, which one would you choose?”
He turned to the direction of the familiar voice. When did she return?
“What’s wrong? Are you very surprised to see me?” Abelyn approached him
“You…” he pointed at her and stammered.
“Forget about when I came back and cut to the chase. I’m asking you, between the photography studio and Joan, which one would you choose?” she asked him directly.
Dustin loved Joan as much as he desired the photography studio. He turned to look out the window and spaced out.
“All right, I’ve got my answer.” Abelyn walked over and sat on the sofa.
“Let’s drop that topic. Why are you back?” Dustin attempted to change the subject.
“I won’t be leaving anymore. This time, I’ll stay here permanently,” she answered casually.
“Have you decided?” he queried.
“Yes, I’ve arranged everything, including shifting the company headquarters back to the country.”
Finally, she’s back. Staring at the woman before him, Dustin felt sorry for her.
He knew how much that woman had suffered. Had she not been utterly disappointed, she would not have returned so easily.
“What about him?”
“Dead,” she gave a short reply while exuding a disquieting aura.
He fell silent and subsequently headed to the kitchen.
“You can cook?” the astounded woman asked from the living room.
“Only when you’re here,” the man answered.
Abelyn was Dustin’s best friend since college. They used to discuss all academics matters together and were seen by other classmates as the two top students. Even though they spent a lot of time together, no one had ever crossed the friendship line. This was because Dustin had never viewed Abelyn as a woman. Likewise, Abelyn had never seen him as a man.
