Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 792:

He had helped her before, yes. But he was still Collin’s best friend.

She fell silent in an instant. Thankfully, Dustin didn’t notice. He was too lost in his own guilt.

He didn’t know why, but seeing Dolores like this always tore at him. Her sadness weighed heavy on his chest.

The more he thought about it, the worse he felt. His voice was tight as he spoke. “I was to blame too. I told Collin to be honest with her, but he was scared. I didn’t push hard enough. And now… two people who loved each other are living apart.”

Dolores’s eyes narrowed. Her tone turned sharp. “Two people who loved each other? Don’t kid yourself. Collin never truly loved Linsey.”

“That’s not fair. He did love her. He just didn’t know how to show it. He didn’t understand how much honesty matters,” Dustin replied.

Hearing that only made Dolores angrier.

Love wasn’t an excuse for causing someone so much pain.

After all, the past four years had been really hard for Linsey.

She clenched her fists. “You make it sound like Linsey’s suffering doesn’t matter—like Collin is the real victim here. Spare me.”

Her cheeks flushed with anger. She turned, storming off.

Dustin’s words had pushed her too far.

He always had a way of defending Collin, and she was tired of it.

“Dolores, wait!” Dustin panicked and reached out, grabbing her wrist.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. Please, don’t be mad.”

Dolores was burning with frustration. She tried to pull her arm free from Dustin’s grip, but he held on tight. “Let go of me! I’m going back to the banquet!”

But Dustin wasn’t ready to let her walk away, not tonight.

This was one of the rare moments they had actually gotten a little closer, and he didn’t want things to fall apart now.

“Dolores, I—”

Before he could finish, a cheerful voice rang out nearby. “Hey! You two over there!”

Both of them froze and turned their heads. A few people were heading over from the wedding venue.noveldrama

The sudden scene caught them off guard. Neither knew what to expect. The group approached with big smiles, but one of them quickly looked concerned. “Are you two having a fight?”

Dolores glanced down, a bit embarrassed.

Had they really been that obvious?

Dustin gave a small, sheepish smile. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to disturb anyone.”

The person waved it off with a chuckle. “No big deal.”
