No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 55



Conrad didn't say a word but gave a mocking nod after a long pause. "If you want to make a scene, be my guest."

Even then, he didn't think he was in the wrong, still believing it was all my fault.

I was too tired to argue with him any longer. I said, "I'm moving out of your place."

"Your place?" Conrad's sharp eyes narrowed. "Felicia, you have never truly thought of it as your home, have you? What a waste of my parents' affection for you."

I bit my lip. Didn't Conrad understand that it wasn't his parents' affection I wanted, but his? I had decided to break things off with him, so there was no point in saying anything more.

"Mr. Wagner, I've got things to do," I said, leaving out the part about quitting because I intended to finish this job.

"Felicia, are you breaking up with me?" Conrad asked again.

It seemed he hadn't been listening earlier. Looking at him, whom I had adored for ten years, I left him with words that severed all ties, "Yes, Conrad, I'm breaking up with you. From now on, we go our separate ways, no strings attached."
