Chapter 1386

Sunny decided to lower his pride as he pleaded, “Xante, can you please be more serious toward me?

You don’t have to tell anyone I’m your boyfriend, but don’t accept advances from other men either! I

can become more mature if you like that type of man! Just give me some time to learn. I promise you

I’ll learn!”

Xante was a little taken aback, but she then looked at him calmly.

“Do you really think I’ll hold any expectation toward a kid who hasn’t even graduated from high school

or who can’t even get into a university? Wait for you to become more mature? Heh, I might as well

accept you’re never going to grow up or make me stop worrying about you.”

Sunny’s eyes widened as they trembled. His ego was everything to him, yet he could only back away in

shame after being talked down by the woman he loved the most.

Xante suddenly felt guilty when she saw how hurt Sunny looked. However, she made her decision.

Sunny was too serious for his own good. It would be harder to break up with him if they continued with

their relationship.

At that point in her life, Xante did not want to be tied up with anyone, nor did she want to do anything

else other than work. She had no interest in shacking up with anyone.

“Sunny, you should go home if you want me to see you as mature. Only a kid will make their family

worry about them all the time,” said Xante.

Sunny’s grip tightened around Xante’s arm, and still, he said nothing.

At that moment, Shawn came out and asked with concern, “Xante, do you need my help?”

Xante had no intention of getting back with Shawn, but an idea crossed her mind. To force Sunny to

give her up, she grabbed Shawn’s arm with her free hand and said, “Shawn, can you please kick him

out? He’s getting on my nerves.”

Surprised, Shawn stared blankly at Xante’s hand on his arm before snapping out of his daze. Her

gesture seemed to have given him the confidence he needed to put his arm around her shoulders.

Glaring at Sunny, he said, “You hear that, kid? She doesn’t care about you at all, so let her go now.

Otherwise, I’ll call the cops and sue you for molesting my girlfriend.”

Sunny glared at Xante and finally spat out, “I hate you!”

On the verge of having a meltdown, he then let her go and ran out of the nightclub

Xante frowned with worry when she saw him running off so fast. She then ordered her men to chase

after him and make sure he got home safely. This was not out of her having feelings for Sunny but

because he was Corinne’s half-brother. ‘The boss is going to worry again if anything happens to that

kid,’ thought Xante.

Twilight was a business parked under Newmoon Group, so all the employees there worked for her.

After he successfully drove away Xante’s ‘molester’, Shawn thought he had done well, so he did not

take his hand off her shoulder. Instead, he gave her a little squeeze and said, “You’ve made the right

choice, Xante. Between me and him, I’m more suitable to be your boyfriend.”

Shawn was still the gentleman Xante remembered him to be. However, she did not like his new cocky

way of talking.

She shook off his arms and said coldly, “Thanks for your help, but I think it’s best if we don’t contact

each other anymore.”

Shawn was a little flabbergasted. “Xante, there must be some lingering feelings you have for me!”

“Nope. Not even a bit,” answered Xante firmly.

Shawn was not going to give up that easily. He decided to take another approach. “Okay, can we at

least be friends then? I really don’t think it’s necessary for us to cut ties.”

Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. ‘Looks like he’s not going to back down unless I make it

clear.’

“Shawn, the only reason I stay in contact with you over the years is because you still have some use

for me. I’m sorry if I gave you any false hope that we can get back together. With that said, I do insist

we don’t contact each other unless necessary.”

Shawn decided to give it one more go. “Xante, those are some hurtful words. Even so, I still have some

use for you, right? We can continue working together if the project allows, so we can’t not contact each

other. Even if you don’t care about me, you should care about the loss your company is going to face.”
