All Chapters of Taking Turns in Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Dean's tableware was still in the cabinet, and his clothes were still in the closet… He hadn't taken much with him to Merunica besides a few sets of clothes and his laptop. In fact, he didn't even bring his half of their matching mugs with him.He had used that brown mug for many years. It was the first gift Corbyn had ever given him.Corbyn had made that mug by hand at a handicraft studio. Its shape wasn't perfect; if anything, it looked pretty rough. When he gave it to Dean, he was even a little worried that he wouldn't be able to bring himself to take it out. To his surprise, Dean had graciously accepted his gift and even ended up using it for years.Corbyn never imagined that Dean wouldn't take it with him. Not only had Dean not brought Corbyn's gift with him, he hadn't brought Corbyn along either.He and the cup had been left behind, all alone.Because they were oceans apart, time zones became an issue. If Corbyn wanted to talk to Dean on the phone or via video call, he had

Just like Corbyn had asked, Dean revealed his sexual orientation to Liesel without any warning. Liesel would be lying if she said she wasn't shocked when she heard that explosive truth. It took her a few days to fully process this information.However, she clearly had superior processing capabilities. She quickly came to terms with it and thought to herself, "If a gay man can charm a straight guy into becoming gay, why can't a beauty like me turn a gay man straight?"She had great confidence in her appeal. Also, she didn't fear challenges that were highly difficult.Thus, she didn't give up on Dean. One of Dean's colleagues noticed her antics and asked him, "Is Liesel trying to hit on you?"Dean wasn't the type to beat around the bush. When he heard that, he asked Liesel seriously, "Are you trying to hit on me?"Liesel immediately burst into laughter upon hearing that. She clapped him on the shoulder and said, "What the hell are you talking about? You're gay! I'm just treating y

Veronica patted Corbyn on the shoulder and said, "I initially thought you were just pretending to be a meek househusband in front of Dean, so I wasn't that worried back then. Now, I'm truly concerned about you. Do you know why?"Corbyn looked up at Veronica.The latter continued, "While you were pretending, you really became a meek househusband."Corbyn had really become one.He felt as though a bell had been struck inside his chest, causing the sound to reverberate through his skull and striking every chord in his heart.In the past, he had always felt that he was putting on an innocent act, pretending that he didn't have an ego and that he never complained. But in reality, was he really only "pretending"?After Veronica orchestrated the "great reveal", Corbyn actually didn't have to continue his innocent act. But in truth, the dynamic between Corbyn and Dean never changed. Corbyn had never gone back to being his real self after the "reveal".On the contrary, he strayed further

Because he had to pack his suitcase the next day, Corbyn purposely set an alarm. However, it wasn't the alarm that woke him up but a phone call.The ringtone was most likely annoying by design. Its high-pitched ringing pierced into his good dream like a very sharp needle. Still in shock, Corbyn felt around for the source of the annoyance. He forced his eyes open and saw the word "Mom" on his screen. Feeling even more irritated, he answered the call. "What is it?"To his surprise, Veronica sounded very much awake on the other end of the line. "Get your ass into the office now," she said frostily.Corbyn rubbed his eyes. "Just what is going on?""Get your ass! Into! The! Office! Now!" Veronica repeated.With that, she hung up.Her attitude immediately alerted Corbyn to the fact that something very wrong had happened.Right after Veronica hung up, Paxton called. "We're in huge trouble! The Bureau of Industry and Security has come to audit!" he said urgently.Corbyn was shell-sho

Veronica had moved swiftly and decisively. Firstly, she had Victor arrested and beaten up. Victor had ended up confessing to everything with tears streaming down his face. Despite his greed, he hadn't gone to the lengths of switching out all the textbooks for counterfeit copies, so the cleanup hadn't been too tedious. At first, she had thought about getting rid of Victor completely. However, not wanting to alert the others, she had asked Victor to take time off and lie low for the time being instead of taking action on him right away.Ultimately, she didn't want Corbyn to get in trouble when he had just taken up the role, so she had no choice but to suppress the issue.Corbyn was filled with mixed emotions. He gazed into Veronica's eyes, his lips trembling slightly. His usual arrogance and rebelliousness was nowhere to be found.Veronica hated seeing Corbyn like this. She quickly closed her eyes and waved a hand. "Get out."In a daze, Corbyn left the office. He felt as though t
