No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 26



Looking in the mirror, I tried hard to smile, reminding myself that I needed to be happy and cheerful, aiming for happiness every day.

As I descended the stairs, Jacqueline had whipped up breakfast and swapped the living room's décor to the festive ones we only use for Christmas.

"Felicia, come right back once you and Conrad finish the paperwork. We'll celebrate properly and hash out the wedding details," Jacqueline seemed more excited than I was.

"Sure!" I replied.

Jacqueline looked at me. "You look stunning today. A white coat would have been more striking."

"I'm wearing a white dress already," I explained.

Don't sweat her old-school tips. Times have changed-colors aren't a big deal now. Felicia, just wear what you feel great in. Ignore Jacqueline's advice." Herschel interrupted, changing his tune for me.

I smiled, feeling a warmth in my heart.

Jacqueline pulled me to the dining table, and besides the usual lavish breakfast, there were two eggs and a sausage arranged in a way that made my cheeks flush.
