No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 211



The night I left home, Ernest's place was cloaked in darkness, his windows void of light, indicating he wasn't there. By the time Dustin called me, I was already waiting at the train station.

This time, I opted for the high-speed rail instead of flying.

Even though it would take an extra two hours, I preferred the feeling of being grounded to floating in the air.

"Felicia, your car's ready. Where are you? I'll bring it over," Dustin's voice, always so warm and soothing, reached me.

Dustin paused, and I added, "I know the place."

Of course, I felt guilty because I was the one who had it tampered with.
