No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 106

I couldn't help but laugh as I took his words, "Don't tell me you mistook her for me."

"I…," Conrad began, his eyes meeting mine before I cut him off.

"Conrad, it's not like you've been kissing me much either, have you?"

His expression soured instantly.

We'd been in a relationship for over three years; sure, there had been hand-holding and cuddling, but passionate kisses were almost non-existent. If he did kiss me, it was always on the hand, cheek, or forehead. Even on the rare occasions our lips touched, it was nothing more than a brief peck.

My words left Conrad speechless and visibly agitated. He suddenly let go of me, running his hand through his hair. "Yes, I'm the jerk who got carried away and kissed her. But it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing; it doesn't mean anything."

"Only sleeping together means something, right?" I retorted sarcastically.

Conrad's frustration boiled over. "Is that what you think of me? that I am such a shameless person? If I were that kind of guy, wouldn't I have made a move on you long ago instead of where we are today?"

His words caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but laugh. Was he implying that had he 'made a move' on me, I wouldn't be making a fuss now? What era did he think we were living in, where a woman could only be with one man?

I decided not to delve into that mess but hit him where it hurt instead. "Or maybe you're just not interested in me, and that's why nothing happened, right?"

Only then did I realize how his words, though aimed to wound me, became my weapon against him.

He widened his eyes. "So, we can't get past this, can we?"

"We're already past it; we've broken up. It's you who keeps bringing up old issues," I reminded him.

"Broken up?" Conrad scoffed. "Felicia, don't think I don't know. You left me to be with Ernest. You've been cozying up to him, staying together at Galaxy Harbor."
