Chapter 846:

As she listened to his honest words, her heart softened against her will.

She almost smiled but quickly looked up at the ceiling, pretending to stay cool. "What do you mean by wanting to hold me? Trying to take advantage of me?" she asked, pretending to tease.

Dustin explained quickly, "No! It's not like that!"

He released her slightly, looking serious. "Dolores, I'm into you. I told you that night. Otherwise... I wouldn't have slept with you."

Dolores stared into Dustin's honest eyes. Her heart thudded wildly in her chest, even though she kept her face as calm as ever.

"Do you think I'd just sleep with anyone?" Dolores asked, her voice sharp.

Dustin suddenly felt a wave of uncertainty crash over him. "I'm not sure. You were drunk that night,” he said carefully.

Dolores struggled to hide the smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. She had known her answer all along. She had just been waiting for him to be brave enough to come after her.

If Dustin had hesitated a second longer, she would have swallowed her feelings and walked away. Luckily, he had made his move.

"Dolores, does this mean we're together now?" Dustin asked, still sounding

Dolores snapped back to the moment. The word "yes" sat on the tip of her tongue, but she changed it at the last second. "Who said that? You haven't even chased after me properly. If I say yes now, you'll stop cherishing me in no time."
