Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2668

Heartbroken

“What is it?” asked Abelyn after she hung up the phone.

“Who’s the man who answered the call?”

“It’s my boyfriend.” Abelyn replied, nonchalantly.

“You’re dating someone?”

Abelyn tutted. “What? You’re allowed to mess around, but I can’t date someone?”

“Abelyn, listen to me. It was just a misunderstanding! You’re the only one I have eyes for. I love only you. Please give me another chance?”

“Hmm. No!” Abelyn then hung up and blocked her ex-boyfriend’s number right away.

Just then, Dustin lay on the bed, feeling guilty.

Was Abelyn that hell-bent on twisting the knife in his gut? He suddenly became quite agitated as he thought of it.

“Okay, you can come out now!” shouted Abelyn from the living room.

Dustin then shuffled out awkwardly and looked at Abelyn. “Um, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that was your boyfriend.”

“Ex-boyfriend,” Abelyn added.

This caused Dustin to perk up immediately.

“Ex-boyfriend? Well, why didn’t you say so earlier? If I’d known that he was your ex, I’d have told him off as well,” quipped Dustin.

However, Abelyn merely sat on the sofa. There was a lingering sadness in her eyes as she gazed into blank space. It was evident that she still loved that man, but a reunion was impossible.

One would always want what they cannot have. But they would never cherish what they had at the moment. This was human nature—complex and fickle. Abelyn raised her head and looked at the ceiling above, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes.

Sensing that something was wrong with Abelyn, Dustin’s demeanor shifted. He became more serious and sat next to her to comfort her.

“Well, it’s your life,” said Dustin, his voice hushed. “You have the freedom to do whatever you want, and I’ll always support you.”

Abelyn was so moved by his words that she broke down in tears, and lay her head on his shoulder.

The two stayed on the phone and chatted briefly before ending the call.

“Joan!” Out of nowhere, she suddenly heard Dustin call out to her.

Oh? Haven’t he leave yet? Joan rubbed her eyes and squinted hard, trying to see the person in front.

“For heaven’s sake, it’s me. I haven’t left, and I need to talk to you!” Dustin shouted from below and waved his arms frantically.

After confirming that it was indeed Dustin, Joan went downstairs immediately.

“Alright, I’m coming. What is it?”

“Hurry. Abelyn wants to go drinking, and I think you should go with her.” Dustin had grabbed her by the wrist and was pulling her towards the door.

What’s up with this strange request? Abelyn did not have a particularly good impression of Joan. Why would she even hang out with Joan, let alone go drinking with her?

“Dustin, stop it.” Joan was not too happy about this request at all.

“No, I won’t. She’s had her heart broken, and I need your help comforting her. Since you’re both women, I’m sure you’d have a lot in common,” explained Dustin hurriedly.
