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.

I glanced around the waiting room, noting everyone's heads bowed over their smartphones, and replied nonchalantly, "Just leave it at the garage. I'II pick it up myself."

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

The Wagner family always took their cars to the same garage for maintenance, something I was well aware of.

"Mechanic mentioned your car was tampered with," Dustin's words made me freeze for a moment.

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