No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 321

Just moments ago, Jacqueline mentioned how Conrad sounded like he was making a last will, and now Haley Perez is on about him setting his affairs in order, clearly indicating Conrad's behavior was off the charts.

A dream I had, coupled with Conrad's haunting question about what if he were to die, flashed before my eyes. Even though I've moved past loving or hating the man, the thought of facing life and death, even with a stranger, isn't something I could just ignore.
