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 distress later. 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 glaring 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 success, he could make a few girls’ hearts race.

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

said the man, swirling his wine glass 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 glasses out of habit. “I can say the same about you. You’ve become

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 than last 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 glaring 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 explain 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.
