A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2668

“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.

“Tell me how I ended up this way! The man I finally fell in love with was such a messed-up person! He f*cked up, and he still wants me to take him back?”
