No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 188



She had a thing for girls who carried themselves with ease and openness. In her words, if someone had a small-minded appearance, it was likely their spirit and grace were just as limited.

Judging people by their looks is generally frowned upon, but Jacqueline has seen enough of the world to have her opinions hold weight.

"I can't help you," I told her straight up.

"Why not?" Haley panicked a bit.

I bit my lip lightly. "Jacqueline has a strong sense of self. It's not easy to sway her."

"But she adores you. She might listen to you," Haley pleaded, her eyes dropping in a display of vulnerability. "You know my situation. Without Rad, I don't know how I'd survive."

Her husband was gone, and she wasn't worried back then, but now, the thought of Conrad leaving her was unbearable.

I nearly laughed.

"If you know how much Jacqueline adores me, then you should understand she'd never accept you," because in Jacqueline's eyes, I was the only daughter-in-law she'd ever accept. No one else would do.

Haley fell silent.

"Ms. Perez, the happiness you seek is something you have to fight for yourself, not depend on others for," I said, standing up.

"What if there were no kids involved, would his family accept me then?" Haley murmured.
