NovelFastChapter 509 Do You Really Not Care Anymore Jean'd tried texting Dalton.
Every message vanished into silence.
There was never a single reply.
+8 Pearls It felt like he had disappeared completely-either he'd stopped using his old account or deliberately cut ties with them.
Just like that, they lost all contact with Dalton.
No one knew where he was now, or how he was doing.
She could only hope the rumors were true, that he had gone abroad to receive proper treatment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat surprised Jean most, though, was Winston's attitude toward it all.
I'd thought he would be the type to fixate on Dalton, to chase after a response, to need ssort of closure. But- Winston seemed completely calm.
Whenever he talked about Dalton, his expression was unnervingly composed, almost detached. Even his eyes held a distant, frosty stillness.
It was like... he didn't care at all.
But did he really not care? "I haven't heard anything about him." Winston's voice cthrough the phone, smooth and indifferent.
He sounded like he didn't want to talk about it at all.
So Jean didn't push it either. She just sighed softly and said, "He's unbelievable. It's been so long, and we still don't know if he's doing okay." There was no reply.
Winston went quiet for a long while.
Then, at last, he said softly, "Let's stop here for today. I'll call you another time." "Okay." She hung up.
Over the next few days, Sienna and a few of the brothers reached out, asking about Jean's college plans. Since she'd already made up her mind, she just told them the truth- She was going to Stellaford Academy.
On the day she submitted her college choices, she got a text from Asher.
Asher: "Did you submit your choices yet?" Jean raised a brow and quickly typed back- 12:58 Sat, 12 Jul Chapter 509 Do You Really Not Care Anymore Jean: "Why? Thinking of applying to the scollege as me?" It was mostly just a joke, something playful.
But he replied almost instantly.
Asher: "Yes." Jean stared at the screen, eyes frozen for a moment.
Was he serious? Did he really want to go to the sschool as me? She tried to recall the plot of the .
If I remembered correctly, Asher-the male lead-was also enrolled at Stellaford Academy.
Of course he was. That's how he met Sarah. That's how the story moved forward.

But in the original timeline, Asher went there because he got in on his own, not because branyone else. He never cared what Jean did, let alone followed her to college. Her thoughts began to drift.
What if I didn't go to Stellaford? What if I convinced Asher to go to another school instead? Would that completely rewrite the entire storyline? The idea amused her, but she knew she wouldn't do it.
Jean: "Stellaford Academy it is. Not considering anywhere else." She fired off the message.
Asher: "Perfect. That's what I was thinking too."
Jean: "Pfft... Be honest. You'd already made up your mind You just texted e you e to act like you care what I think." He didn't reply immediately this time.
About thirty seconds passed before Jean heard the notification sound.
Asher: "I was leaning toward Stellaford, yeah. But I hadn't made But I hadn't the final call. Wwanted to know where E you were going first." Her chest warmed as she read that.
