Chapter 580
Rachel took a step toward Dwight. “1-”
However, Jenson stopped her. He grabbed his daughter by the arm “Let’s go.”
Rachel had no choice but to follow her father out of the room.
Dwight stood there for a moment, alone, before leaving the casino and stepping out onto the street.
Ding!
His phone chimed. He glanced down at his phone and saw Halsey’s text.
[I’m running a fever.]
With one hand in his pocket, Dwight didn’t respond.
Then, another notification followed. Halsey had sent another text
[My head hurts. Can you come check on me?
[I don’t believe those words were your true feelings. There must be some reason why you said that to me.
[If you come now, I’ll forgive you. We can still be happy together.]
Dwight’s phone kept buzzing as Halsey sent more and more messages.
He could almost picture the look on her face–perhaps a bit spoiled, a little troubled, but also strangely endearing.

Dwight continued walking down the street, phone in hand. He couldn’t go to her. Every bit of rational thought screamed at him
not to.
He had nothing, yet he had met the girl he wanted to protect for the rest of his life.
How ironic that felt.
Dwight was planning to head home when his phone chimed again. Halsey had sent another message.
He opened it.
[I miss you.]
Halsey missed him.
Dwight stopped in his tracks. For a few moments, he stood frozen before turning around and sprinting in the opposite direction of the life he had planned.
Half an hour later, Dwight arrived at the front gate of the Lincoln family’s mansion. The lights inside were still on, casting a warm, inviting glow.
He stood there for a moment, watching, his hands hanging by his sides, slowly clenching into fists, then relaxing, then clenching again.
After a fierce internal struggle, Dwight took a step forward.
Inside, Halsey had locked herself in her room. She was holding her phone, waiting for Dwight’s response.
But he hadn’t replied.
Halsey’s lips puffed out in disappointment.
What was Dwight doing right now? Had she bothered him?
Chapter 580.
After all, he was probably working, and he seemed to be busy.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
“Who is it?” Halsey asked.
Outside, Isabel’s voice called back, “It’s me, Isabel.”
“What’s going on?”
“Someone is here to see you. He’s waiting outside.”
Someone? Was it Dwight?

Halsey, who had been lying in bed feeling sick, suddenly jumped up, her energy restored in an instant. She threw off the covers, jumped out of bed, and rushed to open the door. “Who is it? Where is he?”
Isabel hurried to stop her. “He’s still waiting outside… Wait, slow down. You might trip!”
Before Isabel could finish, Halsey had already raced out of the room, speeding down the stairs, eager to open the door.
She was overjoyed. She knew Dwight wouldn’t ignore her. He had come for her!
With a wide smile, Halsey pulled open the front door.
“Dwight!” she called out cheerfully.
But her smile instantly froze, her whole body going still. The person standing outside wasn’t Dwight. It was Gilbert.
Gilbert had come to see her.
