Chapter: 394
“Can you be more reasonable?”
“Am I being unreasonable, or are you just a cold and heartless person who grew tired of your old toy in favor of a new one? Am I not even worth one formula in your eyes?!” Dahlla was about to lose her mind.
She wasn’t this upset earlier, but at the thought of Natasha, she felt a knife pierce her heart.
She couldn’t help but feel as if someone had taken something important from her.
“Dahlia, I don’t want to argue with you. If you called me to talk about this, then I don’t think we have anything to talk about,” Dustin said, taking a deep breath.
“Fine! Let’s not talk about the formula–let’s talk about Julie! Were you responsible for her arrest?” Dahlia changed the subject.
“If I said no, would you believe me?” Dustin said indifferently.
“Do you think I would believe you? Matt saw you plant fake evidence with his own eyes and got Julie sent to jail! I know you don’t like her, but must you be so petty? How could you do such a cruel thing over a small conflict? That’s my cousin! How could you do such a horrible thing?!” Dahlia was practically roaring by the end of the sentence.
“So you’ll believe whatever Matt says? Am I such a narrow–minded asshole in your eyes that you’d rather believe Matt over me?” Dustin asked, his eyebrows knitting together.
“You’ve done so many terrible things. How can I believe you?” Dahlia retorted back.
When Dustin heard those words, he fell silent, his mouth curving into a self–deprecating smile. He didn’t want. to explain further, nor did he have the energy to do so.
Once the seeds of doubt were planted, they could never be removed.
There had always been a chasm between him and Dahlia. It was due to a lack of trust.
No matter what he did or said, he would never receive an acknowledgment. But whenever there was a minor misunderstanding, it would explode into a full–blown argument.
That was the crux of their problems.
He had really done his best.
“You don’t have anything else to say? I knew you were lying! Why? How did you turn out this way? Why do you have to push my boundaries over and over again? Must you keep causing trouble until we turn against each other? Dahlia’s face was full of disappointment, and she felt disheartened.
“It’s not that I’ve changed, but you’ve never believed in me, whether it was before or now. Since you won’t believe me anyway, then there’s nothing to talk about. I’ll figure out a way to repay you for what you did for Gregory.” As soon as Dustin finished speaking, he hung up.
Could things go back to the way they were before?
No, it was impossible.
This was his answer to her question last night.
“Dustin, what do you mean? Are you trying to cut ties with me? You … Dahlia still had more to say, but the line had already gone dead.
Dustin’s indifference and coldness felt like a knife in her heart.
She couldn’t understand why the two of them couldn’t get along peacefully. Why must they hurt each other?
Why?
