Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 791:

“You sure know a lot about this,” Dolores commented thoughtfully. Then she smirked and teased, “I bet your wedding would just be as laid-back and fun as this one.”

Dustin smiled back and replied, “Not just me. I think you would enjoy a wedding like this too.”

Dolores was surprised by his statement.

She stared at the crowd and could see the group of men and women dancing joyfully with the bride in the center.

Even from the distance, Dolores could tell how happy the bride was on her big day.

She smiled at this, but her smile soon disappeared when she tried to imagine herself in the same situation.

Instead, a bitter smile tugged at her lips, and she said, “Marriage just isn’t in the cards for me.”

Dustin was shocked to hear her say this. “Why not?” he asked.

Dolores hesitated. She seemed on the verge of actually answering his question.noveldrama

However, she instead said, “I just don’t want to. I don’t have to have a reason.”

For some reason, Dustin felt a tightness in his chest as a result of her words. Trying to convince her otherwise, he said, “Just take a look at the couple. They look so happy. What could be better than getting to marry the one you love?”

Dolores let out a long sigh. Then, in a calm voice, she asked, “Do you think Linsey liked Collin four years ago?”

The question caught Dustin off guard. His face shifted. He was unsure how to respond.

As close friends of Linsey and Collin, they both knew the story—how it started, how it ended.

So, Dustin quickly realized why Dolores brought it up. She was clearly trying to challenge what he had just said about marriage being a happy thing.

After a short pause, he answered, “Of course she liked him. I could see it. Linsey really liked Collin back then.”

“No,” Dolores said firmly. Her voice was steady and slow. “She didn’t just like him. She loved him with her whole heart.”

Dustin nodded. “You’re right.”

Dolores went on, “I saw it. She was glowing. I’ve known Linsey for over twenty years, and that was the first time I saw her that happy. She gave her all. No holding back.”

She paused, drawing in a shaky breath. Then her voice dropped. “And look how it ended. She was hurt, lied to, betrayed. Accused by the man she loved most of being shallow and materialistic. If it had been me, I don’t think I could’ve survived it, let alone…”

Her voice trailed off. A flicker of shock crossed her eyes. Regret followed right after.

She had almost said too much—almost revealed that Linsey had given birth to a pigeon pair abroad.

She bit her lip. She shouldn’t have let her guard down, not even with Dustin.
