Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1712

Jory met his gaze. “She rejected me because of how flawed I was then. Don’t tell me you assumed that I was always this impeccable?”

Boisterous laughter burst from Dustin. “That person must be unlucky. I bet she’ll eat her heart out if she knew how great you turned out to be.”

“No, it wasn’t just because of my flaws. She rejected me because she has feelings for someone else.” Jory shook his head whilst uttering this. A brief second passed before he voiced his doubt, “Dustin. Should a woman marry someone she likes or a different person who’s impeccable in every regard? What do you think?”

“You shouldn’t ask me this…” Dustin shifted uncomfortably. He then explained, “You know I won’t say the right answer.”

Jory snorted bitterly. “That’s true, because we both love someone we can’t have.”

Dustin froze momentarily. Once he snapped out of it, he looked over to Jory. “We? You mean—”

“I saw her again.”

Jory paused for a brief moment before continuing, “Speaking of which, the first time I met her was like a scene in a movie…” Jory reminisced whilst gazing absent-mindedly into the space. However, Dustin’s patience was wearing thin as he interrupted, “Who is she?”

Jory coughed and couldn’t bring himself to meet Dustin’s eyes. Seeing this, Dustin questioned further, “Is she related to your plan?”
