Chapter 274 - I Believe In Her (2/2)

He came around the table and put his hand on Dylan's shoulder, ”I still haven't asked you about last night and you're already looking like a dead person. What is wrong with you?”

In fact, it was really hard for Dylan to describe his feelings as well. He had been pretty much okay when he left Xin Villa in the morning. Then suddenly something and some feelings caught up with him making him lose all his spirit.

”How do you know about last night? Did she tell-” he stopped mid-sentence and shook his head. ”Nah. You have your own ways.” Darren smiled at how his best friend caught up so easily. Not only that he was even answering his own questions now. ”Before you get mad, let me explain myself...”

While Dylan was preparing to say his side of the story, Darren chuckled at his reaction. ”Don't bother. Sweets already cleared it with me that you're innocent this time. It was her fault and she's willing to own up to it.”

Dylan's brows knotted together almost instantly. Xiu actually took his side? But why? If one saw it logically, he was partially at fault as well. She didn't have to take up all of the blame for him. Whatsoever, he was still touched and this made his initial feelings get even more complicated now.

Dylan stood up from Darren's revolving chair and walked around the table as he spoke softly, ”Can you be honest with me?” Darren raised his brow at Dylan's sudden alter in expression before nodding. ”Is she...” he hesitated. ”I mean, is your girlfriend really...” He clenched his fists in exasperation not knowing how to word it.

But he didn't have to. Darren's small smile showed that he understood his best friend's meaning. Darren sat down in his chair and began, ”Yes, she is.” Dylan's eyes went wide as he stared back at Darren in disbelief.

”You mean...”

”I mean that my Sweets is my Ah-Xiu and Ah-Xiu is my Sweets. I don't think I can rephrase it better than this,” shared Darren without any hesitation at all.

It wasn't difficult for him to figure out that the reason why Xiu drank last night was to let Dylan know the truth of her identity. However, he also knew that Dylan would eventually come to him for confirmation.

”So...” Dylan trailed off not knowing what to say at all.

”You don't believe her words?” questioned Darren.

”Do you?” retorted Dylan. ”Do you really believe a bizarre story of reincarnation? You don't even believe in fantasies!”

”Yes, I don't...” replied Darren calmly. He looked at Dylan and continued, ”But I believe in her.”
