No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 274



The amusement park was never the issue; the problem was Conrad.

As the dream flashed through my mind, along with the reason for this call, I asked Dustin, "Is it something about Conrad? What happened to him?"

Dustin didn't respond immediately. After a pause, he finally spoke, "You know, you could just ask him directly."

I chuckled. "Well, I just didn't want to stir up any jealousy with his current flame."

That got a laugh out of Dustin too.

"How about we grab a meal together when you're free, Felicia?" Dustin offered.

He had just said we were like family, so I didn't refuse.
