No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Could she really be here just because she resents me?

No, things couldn't be that simple. Haley must have another agenda up her sleeve.

Just as I was gearing up to retaliate, Ernest and Grant Smith came over. Ernest positioned himself by my side, his gaze icy as he stared at Haley, "What does her kid have to do with us?"

Haley shuddered, probably overawed by Ernest's imposing presence. She seemed even more vulnerable, her finger pointing at me, "If it wasn't for Rad, it wouldn't concern her."

"They've known each other for ten years, back when you were probably still in the dark about so many things. So what if they were seeking each other out?" Ernest's comeback was a surprise to me.

A look of astonishment flashed in Haley's eyes, clearly not expecting Ernest to defend me in such a manner, showing complete disregard for her insinuations.

At this moment, I kind of got why she was causing a scene here. She was trying to wreck things between me and Ernest.

But in trying to sabotage my relationship with Ernest, wasn't she afraid I'd go back to Conrad? Wouldn't that leave her completely out of the picture?

"But she's always trying to stir trouble between me and A-hang," Haley tried to pin more accusations on me.

Ernest's handsome face briefly twisted into a sneer, "If your relationship was solid, nobody could stir trouble, much like your attempts to make me misunderstand Licia."
