No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 780

My connection with her was all because of Conrad, though now he's nothing more than a distant memory for both of us.

Life sure is unpredictable like that.

"So, you haven't seen him lately?" I asked with a faint smile.

Haley was straightforward as usual. "Nope."

"Missing him, are you?" I teased with a playful tone.

"A little," Haley admitted without hesitation.

"Well, if you miss him, go find him," I encouraged.

Haley's lips curled into a sardonic smile. "If I knew where to find him, I wouldn't be asking you, would I?"

This woman always spoke to me like she was ready for a fight, with a sharp edge in her voice.

The more fiery she got, the calmer I remained. "It's funny how the guy who used to be at your beck and call is now just a ghost of the past... Men, right? So unpredictable."

"Felicia Hudson, spare me the sarcasm," Haley shot back, clearly irritated.

I looked at her, so different from the woman I once knew, and wondered what Conrad would think if he saw her now.
