No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 213



"Felicia, thank you for loving my brother, for accepting him!"

As Susie said this, she raised her hands, offering me a mug of tea with utmost respect, her eyes brimming with tears.

In that moment, a wave of emotion hit me, too.

Susie pouted, and I took the mug from her, taking a sip.

It was like morning dew, a divine elixir, extraordinary in every sense.
