“Scumbag! Bah!” jean cured.
Chester couldn’t bear to hear his good friend being scolded. He couldn’t help but it rupt them, “Don’t say that. Dewan has his own struggle.”
Since couldn’t obtain any specific information from Rowan, I decided to ask Chester, “oh, what’s his issue? Why don’t you tell me?
