No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 28



With just a few sentences, I managed to flush Haley's face with embarrassment and anger.

Honestly, her whole persona was a disaster. If she would be the other woman, at least, she should own it with some dignity. After all, Conrad had transferred the deed of the house he was supposed to give me to her. She had every reason to feel confident.

But no, she chose to play innocent despite being caught red-handed. It was like trying to be a saint and a sinner.

"Felicia, you know, Rad won't appreciate this attitude," Haley dared to lecture me.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I'd be a fool if I hoped for Conrad's approval.

"Keep his affection for yourself," I retorted, leaving her speechless.

Tears of self-pity quickly welled up in Haley's eyes. It was a good thing I had Ivan with me. Otherwise, her theatrics might have left me speechless.

"Felicia, what do you mean by that? Aren't you two supposed to get your marriage license today?" Haley asked, her eyes gleaming with curiosity and, frankly, a bit of hope. Her ambition couldn't be more transparent.

Suddenly, I decided not to let Haley have the last laugh. "Oh, we're getting it. Conrad consulted with an astrologer for the perfect time. 10:58 A.M., he said. It's supposed to guarantee a long and happy marriage, 'til death do us part, surrounded by a big, happy family."
