Chapter 633 Lend Me Some Money


    At that moment, a bar waiter approached hesitantly, interjecting, "I''m sorry to disturb you, but could I have a


    word?"


    Both Dolores and Dustin turned their frowns towards him.


    "What seems to be the problem?" Dustin asked, his annoyance clear as he was mid-exnation.


    At the same time, Dolores stood with her hands nted firmly on her hips, her entire posture radiating cold


    indifference.


    The waiter, nervously pointing towards a nearby table overflowing with empty bottles, exined, "Yourpanions left in a rush and didn''t settle their bill. It seems we missed stopping them. Thankfully, you''re still


    here."


    Dolores''s eyes bulged in astonishment. "They left without paying?"


    Dustin let out a chuckle and said, "Unbelievable. A bunch of jerks, hitting the bar and then vanishing without paying the bill."


    He then teasingly nced at Dolores, whose face was beginning to cloud over. "Looks like you''re stuck with the bill for those scoundrels, Ms. Davidson. Rough night, isn''t it?"


    Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Dolores pressed her lips together in annoyance. Abruptly, she held out


    her hand to Dustin and said, "Lend me some money."


    "What?" Dustin, caught off guard, scrutinized her. "You''re not serious, are you? Surely you can cover this."


    Dolores stayed silent, though a flicker of embarrassment crept across her face. Noting her difort, Dustin ceased his teasing, quickly withdrawing his wallet and handing some cash to the waiter. "Keep the extra," he said casually.


    "No, I insist on getting the change," Dolores said firmly, extending her hand towards the waiter to ensure she


    received every penny.


    Dustin was left speechless, recalling that Dolores hadn''t always been so frugal.


    Dolores noticed his stare and exined withposure, "Remember, I''m just borrowing it. I''ll settle with you


    The waiter promptly handed back the change to Dolores.


    Dolores tucked the money away with deliberate care, and the sight of her guarded manner pulled a quiet smile


    from Dustin.

    However, Dustin''s smile soon disappeared, reced by a grave look. "Dolores, is yourpany facing


    difficulties?"


    "Stop specting." Dolores responded, attempting to leave.


    Dustin caught her wrist firmly, preventing her escape. "You nearly avoided discussing it earlier. If there weren''t issues, you wouldn''t be negotiating with those types of people. It''s ironic, isn''t it? You criticize us for secrecy towards Linsey, yet here you are, concealing your own problems."


    Dolores''s face mirrored theplexity of her emotions.


    The following morning was bright and clear as Gorman drove Linsey to the courthouse.


    "I could havee on my own," Linsey said as she unfastened her seatbelt and turned toward Gorman in the driver''s seat. "Your back''s still hurt, but you insisted on bringing me here anyway."


    Gorman returned her gaze tenderly and replied, "On a day as important as this, I wouldn''t miss being by your


    side."


    Aware that Linsey was still cautious of his romantic intentions, Gorman quickly changed the subject.


    He said, "Besides, you saw it yourself. Ever sincest night, the Lawson family''s been desperate to get to you. My men could hardly keep them away. If you showed up alone, they''d track you down without a doubt. But with me here, and my team, we can keep them at a distance for now."
