Abelyn glared at him and went back to her pizza.
This was camaraderie at its finest. Dustin turned away to spare himself from looking at her.
Soon, dinner had ended. The three of them cleaned up and lazed around on the couch in the living room. It was a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.
“Abelyn, what do you plan on doing?” Dustin asked with concern after a burp.
What else could I do?Take it one step at a time, of course.I will definitely not get back together with my ex.
“Abelyn, you're really not going to...” Joan asked with a gulp from the side.
“No way in hell.” Abelyn interrupted her.
It appears that she really was hurt this time.Never mind, I'll just accommodate her.
A forced relationship will only lead to frustration and bitterness.
“What would you do if he comes looking for you?” Dustin asked her seriously.
“Don't say that! I don't want that to happen!” Abelyn aimed a kick at him.
“Abelyn, please behave in a ladylike manner!” Dustin teased to incense her.
“Ladylike? When have you seen me acting like a lady? What a joke.”
Joan failed to stifle her laughter.
Little did they know that Dustin's words really did come true.
Abelyn's ex-boyfriend arrived at Joan's door the next day.
“Abelyn! Get out here! Let's talk things through!” came a voice followed by a series of ferocious hammering on the door.
Abelyn was in a deep and peaceful slumber, completely oblivious to what was going on outside.
Dustin had been awakened by the disturbance outside and groggily opened the door.
“Ah!”
Before Dustin got a good look at the man, he found himself being shoved to the ground.
“You piece of sh*t, how dare you steal my
I"
woman!
