Chapter 890: He Wants to Buy the House

The other party’s sudden apology caught Summer Shawcross off guard for a moment. After a brief pause, she let out a sigh and shook her head.

“It was all when we were kids. I don’t really care about it anymore.”

Hearing her words, Caden Willow nodded lightly, but he couldn’t help speaking again, suddenly bringing up a name.

“Right… you and Dustin Hughes…”

The moment he suddenly mentioned Dustin Hughes, Summer’s expression changed, and she abruptly spoke in a serious tone.

“That kind of insidious, petty man has nothing to do with me anymore!”

Her sudden shift in attitude startled both Caden and his mother.

A moment later, a hint of joy finally surfaced on Caden’s face.

“So that’s how it is. I thought you and he…”

Back then, everyone knew it was Dustin who had saved Summer, and The Shawcross Family treated him as their lifesaver. His relationship with the Shawcrosses was very close.

So… many people assumed that the relationship between Summer and Dustin was destined to be unusual.

Now, hearing her say this, Caden suddenly felt relieved.

Summer only gave a slightly awkward smile.

At this moment, Caden continued speaking.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to bring him up on purpose. It’s just that I remembered running into him on this street half a year ago. At the time I almost thought I’d mistaken someone else for him.”

“You ran into Dustin Hughes?” Hearing him say that out of nowhere, Summer’s expression shifted, and she couldn’t help but mind.

By then Dustin had already achieved his goal. What was he doing back here!

Caden nodded, then went on, “He was loitering at the gate of The Shawcross Family home. He ran into me then, and we exchanged a few words.”

“What did you two talk about?” Summer’s face showed puzzlement as she couldn’t help asking.

“It was also about the Shawcross house. He said… he wanted to buy it, and asked if I knew anything about the current owner of that place.” Caden spoke as he recalled.

After listening to Caden, Summer was stunned for a moment. She really hadn’t expected that Dustin would actually want to buy her family’s old house too!

Only after a moment did a look of disdain appear on her face.

“He probably wants to buy that house so he can humiliate me all over again!” Summer couldn’t help blurting out.

The Shawcross house could end up in anyone’s hands, but absolutely not Dustin’s!

As Summer’s voice fell, Caden’s expression showed some surprise. He was very curious about what had happened between her and Dustin that made them turn into enemies, but in the end he didn’t ask. Instead, he shifted the topic back to information about that house.

“I did try to look into who owns The Shawcross Family house now, but… it seems the other party has a pretty strong background and deliberately keeps things under wraps, so… I didn’t manage to find out much for you.” At this point, Caden sighed and spoke with some guilt.

Summer shook her head, then couldn’t help saying,

“It’s fine. I know in my heart that the chances of getting that house back are slim. But… I still want to give it a try.”

Even knowing that, even if she found the current owner, they might not agree to sell the house to her, as long as there was a sliver of hope, she still wanted to try.

Hearing her say that, Caden nodded.

“How about this: wait till after lunch and then you can head over and take another look. Maybe the owner has just happened to come back from out of town,” Auntie Zhu, who had been standing by, quickly suggested.
