Chapter 712 He''s Not My Type


    Dolores was burning with frustration. She tried to pull her arm free from Dustin''s grip, but he held on tight.


    "Let go of me! I''m going back to the banquet!"


    But Dustin wasn''t ready to let her walk away, not tonight.


    This was one of the rare moments they had actually gotten a little closer, and he didn''t want things to fall


    apart now.


    "Dolores, I—”


    Before he could finish, a cheerful voice rang out nearby. "Hey! You two over there!"


    Both of them froze and turned their heads. A few people were heading over from the wedding venue.


    The sudden scene caught them off guard. Neither knew what to expect.


    The group approached with big smiles, but one of them quickly looked concerned. "Are you two having a fight?"


    "Uh..." Dolores nced down, a bit embarrassed.


    Had they really been that obvious?


    Dustin gave a small, sheepish smile. "Sorry. Didn''t mean to disturb anyone."


    The person waved it off with a chuckle. "No big deal."


    Before they could say another word, one person grabbed Dolores'' hand, another took Dustin''s arm, and the pair was gently pulled back toward the party.


    "Come on, let''s dance! You''ll forget whatever it was after a few spins!"


    As they were swept into the rhythm of the music, someone else added, "Yeah, couples fight all the time. Don''t say things you''ll regret. Cool off first-then talk it out."


    Their words hit Dolores all at once-and she realized they had misunderstoodpletely. She blinked, stunned. Wait... What?


    She quickly spoke up. "No, no! We''re not a couple!"


    Dustin was equally surprised. He hadn''t seen thating at all.


    But when Dolores denied it so fast, a quiet sting settled in his chest.


    The others picked up on his face and exchanged knowing looks.


    "Oh! So, you''re still working on it? Well, don''t blow it, man. Rule number one- don''t make her mad before


    13:31


    she''s even yours," one of the guys said with a smirk as he pped Dustin on the shoulder.


    Dustin flushed. His ears turned red, then the blush spread across his whole face. Being mistaken for Dolores'' boyfriend didn''t bother him.


    But hearing them talk like he was chasing her made his heart race-and not in a good way.


    "... You..." he stammered, lost for words.


    Anyone who knew Dustin-the cool, smooth-talking yer-would have been stunned to see him like this.


    Dolores, seeing how flustered he looked, assumed it was just the teasing getting to him.


    With a carefree smile, she slung an arm over his shoulder andughed. "Come on, don''t be ridiculous! We''re just friends. No way we''d date. He''s not my type!"


    She said it fast, loud, and with zero hesitation. Dustin stared at her, stunned. Herugh rang in his ears, but all he could feel was the sharp ache in his chest. It hit like a p, clean and unexpected.


    The group nced between the two, amused. Whatever was going on between them-it was clearly something worth watching
