Despite it all being a misunderstanding, the two of them had quite some conflicts in the past.
“All right, I get it, Abelyn! Sheesh, I can't believe you're still mad at me after so many years, and over something so trivial too... Look, I apologize for whatever I have done to wrong you in the past, okay?”
Abelyn was a very petty person who held on to grudges, so it was only natural that she remembered every little thing people did to wrong her.
Jessica on the other hand wasn't one to sweat the small stuff and paid no heed to the trivial conflicts they had in the past.
That was especially the case as she was a little impulsive in her ways which was the main reason
behind most of their conflicts.
Abelyn found herself unable to stay mad at Jessica when she saw how sincere she was with her apology.
“Okay... I'm sure I must've been at fault as well back then, so I would also like to say I'm sorry...” she said shyly while looking at her through the corner of her eye.
“Now that you two have made up, how about we all head inside and catch up?” Joan said happily while pushing them into the house.
No problem is unsolvable as long as both parties are willing to communicate!
Just like that, the four of them sat down on the sofa in the living room.
The three girls then proceeded to dominate the conversation and rambled on endlessly with a complete disregard for Dustin's feelings as he struggled to participate in the conversation, but to no avail.
I can't understand a thing they're saying... Geez, women sure are a pain in the neck... Dustin let out a sigh and shook his head.
“Why don't you go make dinner, Dustin?” Abelyn pointed at the kitchen.
What? Did she just tell me to make dinner? Dustin was dumbfounded.
“What, you got a problem?” Jessica shot him a fierce glare.
“Okay...” he mumbled as he got up and slowly made his way towards the kitchen.
He decided to do as told as sitting there with them was pointless and boring anyway.
