No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 173



Standing at the door with a rigid expression that mirrored mine was Conrad.

Ever since we broke up, it seemed that every encounter we had was designed to make the other's blood boil.

I quickly averted my gaze from Conrad, thinking that some sights are better left unseen. Out of sight, out of mind, as they say.

Ernest, acting as if nothing was amiss, took my hand but didn't try to take my phone. Instead, he said, "Let's take a better picture some other day."

The suggestion was laden with possibilities.

It also carried an air of casual intimacy typical of a couple.

Conrad took a few large steps towards me and commanded, "Felicia, come outside with me."

His tone was authoritative, the demeanor of someone used to getting their way.
