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.

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.
