No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 163



I stood there, a bit dazed, not saying a word.

I was hesitant to join the conversation, worried I might say something wrong that could upset Ernest. Besides, my thoughts had drifted to my parents and their tragic car accident.

Was it really an accident, or was there more to the story?

Back then, I was too young to understand anything. Herschel had taken care of everything. He might be the only one who knows what truly happened. I planned to ask him about it when I saw him later.

Noticing my silence, Ernest didn't press further, and we continued our journey in quiet.

My car had the Wagner family's automatic gate recognition system, so we could drive straight onto the property.

The moment the housekeeper saw me, she beamed with joy, "Felicia, you're back! I'll go inform Mr. Wagner and the lady of the house."

"Irma, no need to trouble yourself. I'll head in," I replied with a smile.

Irma glanced at Ernest, who had stepped out of the car and stood by my side. I could tell she was curious about his identity, so I looped my arm through Ernest's, "Irma, meet my boyfriend, Ernest."

Though Irma was just a housekeeper, she had been with the Wagner family longer than myself and shared a close bond with Jacqueline. So, the act had to go on, even in front of Irma.
