No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 413



Back when I was Conrad's constant shadow, I'd always nudge him to mingle more, to knock off that aura of being untouchable. He had gotten somewhat better, but now, he's back to standing out like a sore thumb.

"Ever since you two split, Conrad's been walking around with that gloomy face, like everyone owes him money or something," Jefferson grumbled to

me.

I offered a faint smile, not really biting at his bait, instead, I tossed in my own request, "Jefferson, I need a favor."

I knew he was swamped with the upcoming football finals, but he was the only one I could turn to.

"Let's hear it," Jefferson didn't immediately commit.

I bit my lip, hesitating, "I need you to dig into the real cause behind my parents' car accident."

His eyebrows knitted in concern the moment I laid down my request, and as I shared my suspicions and the accident report with him, I added, "Jefferson, you're the only one who can help me."

"Felicia, what's the point in digging all that up?" he challenged.

I glanced down at my feet, "I know it won't bring my parents back, but I need closure. I need to face the truth about what happened to them."

He was silent for a moment, then, "You sure you want to go down this rabbit hole? Consequences be damned?"
