Chapter 823:
Linsey found herself chuckling at the exchange, then hastily added, “Sorry.”
Dustin seemed unfazed by her laughter, his attention solely on Dolores.
Feeling cornered by his intense gaze, Dolores gave in with exasperation. “Fine, fine, we're friends. | haven't even
finished speaking, and you're already upset?”
Even though Dolores maintained a facade of calmness, Linsey was aware of the underlying turmoil, evidenced by
the increasing pressure of Dolores’ grip on her hand.
Despite her best efforts to endure the discomfort, Linsey eventually had to pinch Dolores’ palm gently to snap
her out of her daze.
Upon regaining her composure and realizing her emotional turmoil in Dustin's presence, Dolores quickly said,
“Step aside. Linsey and | are famished. We're going to eat.”
Dustin's face lit up. “Why don’t | take you both out? There's this new restaurant I've been meaning to try.”

somewhere else, just nit, and we'll go there.”
Dolores couldn't resist a retort, hinting at her independence. “We don’t necessarily need your ride; I've got my
own car.”
Dustin acknowledged this with a nod, still amiable. “That's totally fine. You can drive if you prefer. I'm just
offering options here. It’s really whatever you two decide.”
Linsey smiled slightly, deferring the decision. “I'm open to anything. Dolores, why don’t you pick?”
Dustin then cautiously focused on Dolores, saying, “Dolores, the decision is yours.”
Dolores, taken aback by Dustin's demeanor, felt slightly embarrassed but kept her cool.
She responded lightly, “Okay, let's try the place you mentioned. Just remember, if the food's no good, you're on
the menu next.”
And with that decision made, Linsey and Dolores joined Dustin in his car, heading to the restaurant.
Dustin positioned himself in the driver's seat and took a quick look in the rearview mirror before starting the car.
He was still reeling from Linsey’s return, debating internally whether he should inform Collin.
Collin had been tirelessly looking for Linsey for years.
