Chapter 217

Though Hayden’s rejection was firm, it was also the most hurtful kind.

Dylan was worried that Annalise might crumble, so he waved his hand in front of her and asked worriedly, “You okay? I’m not good at comforting people, but if you. ask me, only a guy like Julien could handle someone like Hayden. You’re no match for him! The best kind of love is equal. Your one-sided love and devotion won’t

end well.”

“The best kind of love is equal?” Annalise snapped back to reality, giving Dylan a look of disdain. “In my opinion, the best kind of love is when the two people support each other.”

“It seems you haven’t learned your lesson.”

“I’m really hurt.” Annalise sighed. “I think a man like him shouldn’t be with a dominant woman like Julien. Two dominant people being together might not end well.”

For some reason, Dylan suddenly felt like Annalise made a good point, but….

“Even if Hayden and Julien don’t end well, it’s still better than you and Hayden having no chance at all, right?”

Annalise glared at Dylan. “Are you trying to comfort me or rub salt in my wounds?”

With that, she walked off towards the garden, clearly annoyed.

Dylan was taken aback. He had stayed to comfort Annalise!

He shook his head in frustration. He had to admit that he really sucked at comforting people.

Annalise first ran into Julien.

Julien was busy helping Ivan grill. Payne was eagerly assisting her, praising her, “Julien, you’re not only a martial arts master, but you can also grill! A woman like you is so rare!”

Ivan nodded, “Exactly!”

“You both are hopeless!” Annalise grabbed the skewer from Payne’s hand.

Ivan turned to Annalise and said, “Ms. Annalise, she’s the woman of my dreams!”

“Kids shouldn’t have dream women!” Annalise told Ivan. “Your dream woman is your godfather’s woman, you know?”

“Who told you that?” Ivan pouted, showing his disbelief.

Annalise smiled, “Your godfather told me. I went to put my arm around him, and he said he’d hit me. I asked why he didn’t hit Julien when she was sitting so close to him. He said, ’cause Julien is his woman, and I’m not! Do you believe me now?”
