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.

But I couldn't help but smile. "Listen to you, talking as if your brother was the last man on earth."

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

The clear, floral fragrance of the tea enveloped my taste buds, unlike anything I had ever experienced before.

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