No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 259



Jacqueline hadn't told me that they were going to join us for dinner.

Had I known, I'd have stayed home.

It's not that I'm a coward or afraid to face them, but honestly, their presence just kills my appetite.

"Felicia, there you are! We've been waiting just for you," Jacqueline greeted me with a bright smile, wrapping me in a gentle hug.

It's hard to be mad when someone greets you with such warmth. Still, I couldn't help but comment, "Jacqueline, I thought it was going to be just the two of us."

"Well, it was supposed to be," Jacqueline glanced over at Conrad and Haley with a shrug. "Ran into them by chance."

Chance? As if!

I'm not a kid; who would buy that?

But walking out now would only embarrass Jacqueline and make me seem petty.

So, with a hint of sarcasm, I said, "What a coincidence."

"We didn't mean to intrude, Jacqueline, on your time with Felicia," Haley chimed in.

Knowing they're intruding yet not taking the hint to leave? The nerve!
