Out Of Luck In Love Chapter 15
She had nearly slipped and revealed that she was married, but after some thought, she changed it to boyfriend.She did not want things to turn even more complicated after Dustin arrived.“Boyfriend?” Conan’s expression turned darker. “When did you get a boyfriend? Have you forgotten that you’re my—”“Your what?” Ninian looked him in the eye. “Conan, your girlfriend is right there. Pay attention to what you say.”Conan panicked. He knew that Ninian was really angry this time, but he had not expected that the first thing she would do after leaving his side was to find a boyfriend.“Why? Is it just to make me mad?”Ninian could not help it. She rolled her eyes. She had enough of this man!“Ninian, without my permission, you’re not allowed to date anyone!”He grabbed Ninian’s arm despite her protests and started leaving the hall. Tried as she might, Ninian could not break free. “I’ve already resigned! You have no right to control my life!”“Let her go.”The crowd parted, and a ta

After they left the gathering, Ninian got into Dustin’s car.“I’m sorry,” Dustin apologized. “If I had come on time, you wouldn’t have gone through such humiliation.”“No.” Ninian shook her head. “I should be thanking you. If you hadn’t stood up for me just now, I wouldn’t have known what to do.”“I’m your husband. It’s what I should do.” Ninian stared at Dustin’s face and hesitated for a long while before she said, “You saw what happened, Mr. Grant. Rose is right. I was Conan’s lover for seven years. If you’re bothered by it, I can—”“I don’t mind.” Dustin parked his car at the side of the road and stared into Ninian’s eyes. His gaze was firm and intense. “I don’t mind at all.”Ninian could not understand it.“Why?”“You’ll know in the future.”Dustin’s gaze landed on her wrist. It was still swollen. Without another word, he started massaging it.“Does it hurt?”His movements were gentle. Seeing how considerate Dustin was, Ninian’s eyes stung. Tears welled up in her eyes

Ninian panicked and grabbed a vase by the side before smashing it against Conan’s head.With a loud crack, the vase shattered to pieces.Blood poured out of Conan’s forehead, but he managed to calm down.His expression was dark, and blood dripped down onto Ninian’s body.The smell of blood filled the air. As Ninian stared at him, tears fell from her eyes. “Snap out of it, Conan! I don’t love you anymore!”Conan got up and let her go. “I don’t believe you.”He refused to believe it. She loved him for seven years. How could she suddenly stop loving him?“Did you know that the people in Crimson did the same thing to me that day? If Dustin hadn’t shown up, I would have died!”Conan would never know just how great her despair had been.She cried out to him for help and hoped that he would stay to save her, but he left without even turning back.At that moment, Ninian’s love for him died.With great pain on his face, Conan apologized, “I’m sorry, Ninian. Please forgive me!”Ninia

When Rose came over, Conan had returned to the couch.The entire couch and the carpet were covered in blood. His face and lips were bloody as well.Rose was shocked and thought that someone had robbed the place.“What happened, Conan? Who hit you?”“Get lost.” His tone was cold, and he hung his head.Rose thought that she had misheard him. “What did you say?”“I told you to get lost!” He looked up, and the detachment in his eyes made Rose’s heart tremble.“Why?”“What’s that in your hand?” When he saw the luggage bag in Rose’s hands, Conan grabbed the ashtray from the table and threw it against the wall.The loud clang that came from it terrified Rose so much that she did not even dare to breathe.“It’s my stuff. Since Ninian moved out, shouldn’t I move back in?”“I never said you could stay here.” Conan grabbed her luggage bag and threw it out, and Rose was scared.“Conan, what’s wrong with you? What’re you doing? This is my home! I didn’t want it, and you gave it to Ninia

“Dustin, after years of dreaming about it, you’ve finally managed to marry Ninian! You must be so happy!”“What on earth are you saying?” Dustin glared at Kiara Grant, his sister, and his face turned red.Ninian thought that she meant that Dustin had been thinking about getting married for years, so she did not read too much into what Kiara said. She just followed his family into their house.Dustin’s family treated Ninian well. They only had a meal together, but Ninian felt connected to them, like a family, which was something she had not felt with anyone else for a long time.After dinner, Helen, Dustin’s mother, immediately saw the bracelet around Ninian’s wrist.She was delighted. She had thought that Dustin was a blockhead, but he was smart and had already given their family heirloom to Ninian.“Dustin’s grandmother gave me the bracelet, and now, you’re wearing it. Ninian, Dustin is a bit of a blockhead. If he makes you sad, tell me, and I’ll teach him a lesson!”“What?” Ni

Dustin wanted to help her put on the socks, but Ninian was so shocked that she waved him off.“You don’t have to. I can do it myself.”Dustin relented and handed the coffee to her.“Do you want some coffee? I made it myself.”Ninian grabbed the cup and took a sip. “It’s good.”She seldom drank such good coffee. In truth, she loved coffee, but over the years, she only brewed it for Conan, and no one made it for her.“If you like it, I’ll brew some for you every day.”Dustin smiled. As Ninian stared at the outstanding man, she found her heart racing for him.“Are you looking for work?”When he saw the job search page on the screen, Dustin sat down beside her.Since they were so close to each other, the atmosphere between them immediately gained a romantic air.“Yeah. No matter what, I have to provide for myself.”“I can take care of you.”Dustin turned his head, and their noses bumped with each other.Ninian pulled back as if she had been shocked by lightning. Her face and

Dustin did not manage to avoid it in time and took the punch square to the face. He staggered a few steps backward.At the sight of him getting hit, Ninian panicked and ran over. “Are you okay, Dustin?”Conan had used practically all of his strength in that punch.Dustin’s mouth was bloody. In a frenzy, Ninian took out some tissue from her pocket to wipe off the blood at the corner of his mouth.“Does it hurt?”“I’m okay. It doesn’t hurt.”Dustin grabbed the tissue from her hand and smiled at her.At that moment, the final defense in Ninian’s heart crumbled.She turned around and glared at Conan.“Have you lost your mind? Do you even know what you just did?”“Do you really care about him that much?”At the sight of Ninian caring about Dustin so greatly, Conan’s heart hurt.In the past, she would only show such concern to him. When had she started worrying about another man?“Yes. I care about him because he’s not my boyfriend; he’s my husband!” Ninian held Dustin’s hand ti

“He seems to be truly regretting letting you go.”Dustin saw the dejection in Ninian’s eyes and thought that she still longed for Conan. He asked, “Are you okay?”Ninian looked away and checked the corner of his lips.When she saw that he was no longer bleeding, she felt at ease.“I’m fine.”At the sight of Ninian worrying about him, Dustin was delighted. “Are you worried about me?”“You’re my husband. Who else am I supposed to worry about if not you?” Ninian then frowned and said in displeasure, “Conan must have really gone mad. How could he hit you?”“He really does want you back.”Dustin wanted to know Ninian’s thoughts about this. He was worried that she might regret marrying him.“I won’t go back,” Ninian stated without hesitation. “My love for him died a long time ago.”“Okay.” Dustin ducked his head to hide the barely noticeable smile on his lips. But Ninian still noticed it. “How could you smile when you were just hit?”“If I can get you to worry about me after bei

“Are you saying we’ve met before?”“I met you during graduation. At that time, I lost my valedictorian speech, and you helped me find it.”As Ninian stared at Dustin, her mind returned to the time when she was still studying at university.At that time, she was one of the two valedictorians of her graduating class. While she was memorizing her speech backstage, she ran into the boy who was also preparing for his speech.He lost his speech, and Ninian spent a long time helping him search for it. In the end, they found it in a corner.Since she was really nervous at that time, she did not remember what that boy looked like.So, Dustin was that boy?“You’re that boy?”“You remember now?”Dustin smiled. “Unfortunately, we graduated. When I tried looking for you, I could no longer find any information about you. Then, a few years ago, I saw you during a gathering for a project, and I finally learned that you’d become Conan’s secretary.”“I see. So, that’s how it was.”Ninian purs

Before Conan could answer, a few police officers suddenly showed up.“You must be Rose Charlemagne.”Rose’s heart leaped to her throat.She could not care less about everything else and wanted to run, but the police officers grabbed her and pinned her against the wall.“You’re under suspicion for subornation of bodily harm for the case at Crimson. Please come with us for an investigation.”“I didn’t do it!” Rose panicked. Why was this happening even though she had cleaned up all traces of her involvement? Did Dustin really do something?“Mr. Grant, thank you for the clues you provided. We will be sure to figure out the truth of the case!”Ninian frowned. She thought that the case had been closed with no satisfying end. Had Dustin actually been looking into this?She felt touched, and Ninian held Dustin’s hand tighter.Conan asked in puzzlement, “Subordination of bodily harm? What did you do?”“What did she do?” Ninian sneered. Even at this point, Conan still did not know what

“C-Conan?”That man was not expecting Conan, so he was shocked.“Did you just say that Dustin and Ninian didn’t marry out of love?”“I have a friend who’s good friends with Dustin’s assistant. That’s what he heard.”Conan was delighted, and he felt much better.He was just about to head back when he remembered that this man had basically called Ninian unwanted. So, he picked up the bucket beside him and threw all the water in it at the man.“What’s with this?!”“If I ever hear you implying that Ninian is unwanted again, I won’t just be throwing dirty water at you!”Just then, Ninian came out of the female washroom.Upon seeing him, Ninian rolled her eyes in resignation.She should have waited for him to return to the room before she came out.Conan blocked her path and smiled.“Ninian, you didn’t marry Dustin out of love, did you? That means that your marriage isn’t real, is it?”Ninian was shocked. How did Conan learn about this?They should be the only ones who knew thi

Once Dustin posted on Instagram that he was married, his best friends all asked him out for a drink and also specifically requested him to bring Ninian along.Since he knew that Ninian did not like such gatherings, Dustin did not want to bring her over, but Ninian said, “I’m going. Since we’re married, it’s only right for me to meet your friends.”More importantly, some part of her genuinely wanted to be with Dustin.So, meeting his friends to get to know him was a good plan.Blue Duke was the most luxurious entertainment club in Rivervale.Conan arrived early in the room on the second floor.When the people saw him, they started teasing him.“I thought you would never show up at the same gathering as Dustin. Why are you here today?”“Where’s Rose? Did you decide to not bring her along because you know you’ll meet Ninian today?”Conan had already downed a few shots at this point. He glared at them, and they immediately shut up.“Conan.” When Rose showed up, Conan’s expression
