No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 323



I froze, staring at him in disbelief.

Ernest's dad was a truck driver, and if there was an issue with the brakes, that was on him.

For a moment, neither of us spoke, just looking at each other.

Then, Ernest, his hand on my shoulder gave a gentle squeeze. "My dad was a truck driver. If there was a brake failure, whether it was sabotage or a mechanical fault, he was responsible."

A chill ran down my spine, a cold not brought on by the weather, but by the heavy weight of emotion.

If things hadn't gotten so serious with Ernest, holding his father accountable would have been a lot simpler. But now, as we stood closer than ever, the thought of his dad being at fault in the accident left me at a loss.

"Felicia, you know I've been digging into my dad's death. This is all connected. Once I uncover the truth, I promise, I'll explain everything," Ernest's words were earnest, his commitment clear despite the personal connections.

I believed in his integrity; he was a man of his word. But I couldn't help wondering what kind of resolution he could offer if his dad was indeed involved.

This turn of events was both unexpected and unsettling.

Still, even though I had feelings for Ernest, I couldn't avoid digging into the truth about our parents' accident.

Ernest had vowed to investigate, even suspecting Lord Clark, who had already shared his side of the story with me.
