Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 230 Chapter 230 The night before he left, Klein wanted a drink. Drinking alone was just too depressing, so he called Dustin, who was just as down in the dumps as he was. 55 vouchers "Klein, tell me, what's so wrong with me? Why am I not good enough for her?" Dustin grumbled, sounding genuinely lost. Klein shot him a sideways glance, scofling. 'If even I didn't get picked, it's totally normal a girl wouldn't go for Dustin,' Klein thought to himself. "Who do you like?" Klein asked. He was curious. Dustin glanced over at Klein, thinking, 'Like I'd ever say that out loud.

"What about you, Klein? Are you lovesick too?" Dustin teased, glancing over. Klein ignored the question and just poured himself another drink. Both of them were lost in their own thoughts and troubles. But right now, the only thing they could agree on was getting wasted. Dustin was the first to go down, and his driver practically dragged him back to his apartment. Totally out of it, he kept mumbling Lena's name, but no one was around to hear the heartbreak in his voice. ***** Lena and Dustin had been at each other's throats since they were kids.

She honestly couldn't figure out why Dustin had to be so stingy all the time. He was several years older than her, but he never gave her a break. When they were little, he'd snatch her toys. As they got older, he just loved messing with her. So ever since Lena could remember, Dustin had always been at the top of her hate list. That all changed the day her mom came home, completely shattered. "Lena, your dad... he died in a car accident," her mom said, her voice barely above a whisper. Lena felt like her whole world had just come crashing down.

She'd been waiting for her dad to bring her the newest doll, and they'd just talked on the phone yesterday. How could he be gone? None of this makes any sense,' Lena thought, her head spinning. At the funeral, that was the only time Dustin didn't mess with her. Dressed all in black, she crouched on the floor, hiding in a corner where her mom couldn't see her, crying her eyes out. But someone still found her. "Hey, Lena," Dustin called out softly. 16:57 Thu, Chapter 230 255 vouchers Lena didn't turn around, her shoulders trembling as she tried to hold back her sobs.

Seeing her like that, even Dustin, who was just a kid himself, couldn't help but feel a stab of pain in his chest. "Don't cry, Lena. I promise, I won't tease you anymore, okay?" Dustin said gently. She lost her dad so young. No words could make the pain go away, or stop the tears. Dustin just sat next to her in silence, staying by her side as she cried from sunset all the way into the night. Finally, when Yvonne came over looking for her, Lena wiped away her tears and managed to pull herself together. "Mom, I'm here!" Lena called out.

She didn't pay Dustin any mind as she dashed straight to her mom. After that, Dustin didn't see Lena for a long time. Lena changed a lot. She had always been a fearless and lively girl, but now she was much quieter, like she'd lost some of her spark. Dustin heard her mom had remarried. After that, Lena just seemed even more withdrawn. One night, the whole Harris family got together to celebrate Emily's birthday. Lena and Emily had a huge fight. Lena locked herself in her room, making it clear she wasn't going anywhere near Emily's birthday party. Lena felt pretty miserable.

Her mom had left, and her dad was gone. Her whole family was busy throwing a birthday party for the one person she couldn't stand. Lena sat on her bed, her eyes red and puffy from crying. She had always disliked how Emily was always crying, but now she was turning into the same kind of crybaby herself. She suddenly heard a knock. She blinked in surprise when she spotted Dustin outside her window. She pushed the window open, and he swung himself inside without hesitation. "What, are you here to rob me or something?" Lena joked, eyeing Dustin warily but with a hint of a smile.

Dustin messed up her hair with a rough but familiar gesture. "Seriously, Lena, what is going on in that head of yours? I brought you some cake. My mom made it herself. Go on, have a taste." Lena stared at the rainbow-colored cake, and suddenly her nose prickled, and she could feel tears threatening to spill. Dustin panicked a little, scratching his head. "Wait, are you crying because you're hungry?" "You're so annoying!" Lena snapped. Dustin always knew how to kill the mood. Lena took a bite. "Mm, that's really sweet. Why'd you come in through the window, anyway?" Dustin scratched his head.

"I don't know. Maybe it's kind of cool?" 16:57 Thu, Jan Chapter 230 E55 vouchers. "Alright, I'm heading out. Take your time with the cake, and try not to cry anymore, okay?" Dustin said, already halfway out the window. Lena bit her lips, watching as Dustin determinedly climbed back out through the window. "Dustin, thank you!" she called out. Dustin paused on the windowsill, glancing back with a soft smile. "You're welcome." Maybe this was the first time Lena had ever talked to him so nicely. Carter watched as Dustin hopped out the window, his face a mix of confusion and disbelief.

"Seriously, what are you doing. bro Dustin brushed the dust off his hands. "Nothing much, just getting some early practice for the long jump. Jumping from upstairs really lets you go the farthest." "Later!" Dustin tossed over his shoulder as he headed off. Carter could never figure out why teenage boys were always so obsessed with showing off. He shook his head and went upstairs to call Lena down, but she seemed to be asleep already, so he just gave up. Lena didn't bother asking anyone else for help at home. She just clung to the only big shot she could rely on, her grandpa.

"Grandpa, I want to move into the dorms," Lena said, her voice soft but determined. James shot her a look. "Nonsense! Why would you want to live in the dorms? Who's going to make you all those yummy snacks every day?" Lena pouted. "I don't like Emily. She bugs me, and I don't want to play with her." James sighed. "Why don't you like her?" "I just don't." Lena replied, her tone stubborn. There were so many things she didn't like. She honestly didn't even know where to begin. "Alright, just stay home. You don't have to play with her.

You've still got your grandpa." Lena never brought up living in the dorms again. But the summer after the entrance exams, someone snitched to her grandpa, saying she was dating someone. "Emily, was it you who told Grandpa?" Lena demanded, her voice sharp. Emily put on her most innocent face. "Whit, I swear, it wasn't me. I didn't say a word." Lena had barely started dating before her grandpa swooped in and shut it down. "Grandpa, who snitched on me?" Lena huffed, clearly annoyed. James rolled his eyes and said, "Who told me isn't the point. You're only fifteen.

No need to get caught up in all that drama. After you graduate and turn eighteen, you can do whatever you want. Until then, I'm calling the shots." Lena locked herself in her room again. What her family didn't know was that she and her boyfriend mostly just talked about homework and grades. 16:57 Thu, Jan 1 ít bám Chapter 280 Her original plan was to throw him off his game because they ended up in the same class in high school. She figured down snag the top spot for herself. But now, her plan fell through. "Sorry, we have to break up.

My grandpa won't let me date you anymore; Lena said, her voice vent best revchine, "Lena, can't we just keep it between us? Your grandpa doesn't have to know. I... I really like you, the boy pleaded, hege flickering in his eyes. Lena turned him down without a second thought. "Sorry. Really, I'm sorry? And just like that, her one-day trial relationship card expired.

What Lena didn't know was that, on that very day, some kid showed up in front of James, loaded down with bags, and snitched on her for that blink-and-you-miss-it romance, And that was the first time Emily ever got thrown under the bus for something she hadn't even done. Dustin was cradling their daughter, gently rocking her to sleep, while Lena scrolled through her phone. "Why is Luther Miller sending me a wedding invitation? Lena muttered, frowning at her screen. Dustin's eyes narrowed. "Who's Luther Miller?" he asked, sounding a bit suspicious.

Lena shook her head and said, "No, you don't know him. He was that boy in high school who always ranked first" Dustin asked, "You planning to go?" "No. It's been ages since we last talked. Not gonna waste my money on someone I barely remember, Lena replied, not even bothering to look up from her phone. Dustin turned around, a sly grin on his face. "Yeah, not going is for the best. He's not really anyone important anyway." "Right, Emma? Daddy's totally right, huh?" Dustin asked his daughter. Emma blinked her big, sparkly eyes and babbled in agreement, "Goo!" See?
