Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2760

Someone Is At The Door

Joan and Dustin had both investigated the bartender. Not only was his character atrocious, but he was also an extremely rude person. Thus, if Abelyn were to get together with him, he would definitely be trampling all over her in the future. Neither of them could stand watching her being duped.

"Joan, Dustin, I hope both of you can understand, respect, support, and acknowledge my relationship." Abelyn was exceedingly serious and earnest, but it all appeared to be a joke in Joan and Dustin's eyes. Why did she suddenly become so naive? Understanding eluded Joan. How could she possibly fall for a degenerate? Although that bartender is very handsome and skilled at sweet talk, he undeniably can't bring her happiness. What's more, he can't even stay faithful to her!

As the three of them continued staring at each other in the living room, the atmosphere turned incredibly awkward. Joan and Dustin wanted Abelyn to back out of the relationship, but she herself was adamant about sticking with that bartender. They remained in a stalemate as neither party could convince the other.

Knock, knock, knock!

Out of the blue, knocking sounded on the door. Hearing that, Joan's brows creased deeply, and she guardedly mused, "Who's outside?" Don't tell me those reporters followed me here?

"I don't know." Dustin shook his head. He sounded slightly disquieting, worried about the same issue as Joan.

In the end, they both returned to their respective rooms, leaving Abelyn in the living room. This was Abelyn's villa, after all, so she should be the one opening the door to avoid any other troubles cropping out further.

After putting away her irritation and schooling her expression, Abelyn slowly got up and headed to the door.

"Who's there?"

"It's me!" A familiar male voice drifted into her ears.

Upon hearing that, Abelyn instantly jumped with joy and opened the door. Throwing herself into the arms of the man at the door, she coquettishly asked, "Why are you here?"

"I missed you, so I came. Why, am I not welcomed?" the bartender questioned.

"Hey, how could you say that? Of course, you're welcomed! Wait a moment. I'll just change, and we'll go out..." As Abelyn said that, she whirled around to dash back into the house. "Hold on!" All of a sudden, the bartender grabbed her arm.

Pivoting, Abelyn looked at him while blinking her eyes in curiosity.

"Why don't we stay home instead of going out? Don't you like staying in?" The bartender pulled her into his arms and rested his chin on the top of her head.

Um, well... I do, but there's someone else in the house! Dustin and Joan don't like him to begin with, so an altercation might transpire if they were to know that he's here!

"Let's go out instead since I'd like to go for some fresh air. Pretty please?" Abelyn kept shaking his arm while putting on a pitiful expression.

At that, the bartender lifted his head to the sky and inhaled deeply, a chill flashing in his eyes.

"Alright, then. Whatever you say," he concurred at long last.

Subsequently, Abelyn raced to her room to change.

Ugh! What a damn fussy woman! The bartender then swept his gaze over the place and took in everything. In the next moment, the corners of his lips turned up. Well, well... She's really a rich woman! Very quickly, Abelyn came out, and the two of them left the villa. Before leaving, the bartender glanced over his shoulder at the villa.

"Where is Abelyn? Where did she go?" Joan asked Dustin after stepping out of the room.

"She has probably gone out," Dustin replied placidly while staring at the door.

Could it have been Abelyn's friend? Ah, never mind if she wants to go out. Joan then walked over to the sofa and sat down.

"What about you? What's your plan?" Dustin inquired solemnly, turning to look at her.

What plan can I have? At this stage, I can only bide my time.

"I have people looking for Lucinda Xenos, so there'll probably be news soon," Joan answered softly while gazing out the window with squinted eyes.
