No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 51



At the pool hall, Conrad took a shot and missed everything.

Jefferson shook his head lightly, rubbing his cue stick as he said, "Has Felicia not texted you back yet or made any contact?"

Conrad stayed silent while Jefferson aimed for the most awkwardly placed ball on the table, sending it flying in a beautiful arc straight into the pocket with a solid crack.

"It doesn't make sense, right? She didn't even take it to heart when you spoke about her like that and didn't hold a grudge. What's got into her this time?" Jefferson was puzzled.

Conrad recalled when Felicia had come there to shoot some pool. "What did she ask you that time?"

Jefferson sunk another ball, then nonchalantly leaned on the edge of the pool table, lined up his next shot, and with another sharp crack, that one went in too.

"Didn't I tell you? She asked if there was anything among you, Haley, and Aiden at school. I told her straight up, no. So, her running away has nothing to do with me," Jefferson clarified, absolving himself completely.
