No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 127

Awkwardness was palpable, but it was probably for the best that Ernest found out.

Grabbing his phone from the table, Ernest stormed off, leaving Deborah muttering, "This is a disaster."

I wasn't fazed, though. Ernest and I never intended anything serious, so whether he was angry or misunderstood didn't bother me one bit.

After all, we met by chance, I had no plans to date again. It wasn't that one heartbreak had turned me cold; I simply lacked the emotional bandwidth.

After breakfast, I planned to drop Deborah off at work before heading to a job interview.

I was surprised to get an interview call so soon after sending out my resume just yesterday. But hey, the sooner I started working, the better.

Reaching the parking lot, I spotted Dustin's car. He parked, got out, and opened the back door for Jacqueline to step out.

Clearly, they were here for me.

"Jacqueline," I greeted her first.

"Felicia," Jacqueline took my hand, tears suddenly streaming down her face.

Her emotional display caught me off guard. Turning to Dustin for help, he handed her a tissue, saying, "Mom, you're going to overwhelm Felicia. If you've got something to say, just say it. Why the tears?"

Jacqueline dabbed at her eyes, "Felicia, can we go home to talk? Please?"

I glanced at Dustin for an explanation. "Mom's been trying to reach you. She couldn't get through to you, and you didn't respond to her messages. She's been worried sick all night and insisted on coming here first thing. She's found out about what Rad did."

It was clear why she was here.
