Chapter 1384


    Sunny clenched his fists angrily.


    Aaron patted his shoulder, guided him to the other end of the bar table, and gave him a bottle of


    mineral water.

    “Chill, dude. You’ll only embarrass Xante if you rush over there now to interrupt them. You’ll gain


    nothing but her wrath, and not to mention the silent treatment, by doing that,” said Aaron.


    Even though Sunny knew Aaron was right, he struggled to quell his burning rage.


    “Listen to me. You might be able to save a damsel in distresster. That’ll show Xante what a hero you


    are,” advised Aaron.


    ‘Save a damsel in distress? What the hell is he talking about?’ thought Sunny, not understanding what


    Aaron meant. However, he decided to wait and see. Thus, he threw his head back to drink his water—


    in a bid to cool himself down—while ring at Xante.


    …


    The man sitting beside Xante was not that handsome. However, dressed in a suit and coupled with his


    gentlemanly demeanor and an air of sess, he could make a few girls’ hearts race.


    “Xante, it’s sure been a while since west saw each other. I must say, you’ve changed quite a lot,”


    said the man, swirling his wine ss and fixing his gaze on Xante.


    Xante smiled lightly. “Oh? How have I changed?”


    The man looked her up and down. “Hmm… You’ve been even more attractive and mature. Not to


    mention, you have a certain air of mystery around you now.”


    Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed sses out of habit. “I can say the same about you. You’ve be


    more mature and, dare I say, more romantic as well.”


    The man chuckled bitterly when he recalled his past behaviors. “I was young, stupid, and broke back


    then. Sorry for being a shitty boyfriend.”


    Xante looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Instead of sadness, there was actually mockery in her


    eyes.


    “You don’t have to apologize to me; you would’ve done the same thing if given the chance to start over.


    We’re all adults hardened by years of disappointment here, so you don’t have to put up an act of


    repentance. Doing so just makes you look like a cringy dirtbag.”


    The man’s face darkened a little, but he quickly smiled. “Okay, I won’t talk about the past anymore. In


    fact, let’s talk about the present. Xante, you’re single and I’m single, so what do you say to us giving it


    another go?”


    “No. I don’t think that’s necessary,” replied Xante lightly.


    The man did not expect that he would be rejected outright, so he was understandably hurt. “Why not?


    Xante, my feelings for you never changed, nor could I forget about you. Why won’t you give me another


    chance? I promise I’ll treat you better thanst time.”


    Xante took a sip of her wine before saying, “Because I don’t like you anymore.”


    Humiliation washed over the man’s face at being turned down so ruthlessly. “Is it because of that boy?”


    he asked with a frown.


    ‘Boy?’ Xante turned around quizzically and was shocked to see Sunny standing there. ‘When did he


    get here? And why is he ring at us like that?’


    “I see that your taste in men has changed too. But I don’t understand why you’d fall for a kid like him,”


    lectured the man.


    Xante turned back to look at her ex-boyfriend with a cold smile. “You have no right to judge my taste


    nor do I have to exin myself to you. All you need to know now is that I’ll never fall for a man like you


    anymore.”


    The man’s face darkened. No woman had ever spoken like that to him ever since he got to where he


    was then, so he was understandably caught off-guard.
