My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness by Autumn Rain

"Good news! The Douglas family has agreed to call off the engagement!"

David returned home early in the morning and announced the joyous news to his family.

Simone and Monique were clearly delighted.

What neither David nor Monique knew was that if Dustin had not intervened, the Douglas family would have continued to drag on the matter.

Only Simone seemed thoughtful.

She understood that the Douglas family's sudden concession was undoubtedly linked to Dustin.

"Simone, join me for dinner tonight," Dustin said.

"Sure!" she said cheerfully.

David and Monique exchanged knowing and mischievous looks. They even made

a point of telling them not to hurry home and to take their time enjoying the evening.

Dustin booked a picturesque lakeside restaurant for their dinner.

Unlike his usual casual attire, he had gone out of his way to wear a tailored suit.

Since Simone had work during the day and would not be free until after office hours, Dustin waited at the restaurant alone.

She finally arrived after 7 p.m. The sky was nearly dark, and she looked visibly tired.
