No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 211

The night I left home, Ernest's place was cloaked in darkness, his windows void of light, indicating he wasn't there.

By the time Dustin called me, I was already waiting at the train station.

This time, I opted for the high-speed rail instead of flying.

Even though it would take an extra two hours, I preferred the feeling of being grounded to floating in the air.

"Felicia, your car's ready. Where are you? I'll bring it over," Dustin's voice, always so warm and soothing, reached me.

I glanced around the waiting room, noting everyone's heads bowed over their smartphones, and replied nonchalantly, "Just leave it at the garage. I'll pick it up myself."

Dustin paused, and I added, "I know the place."

The Wagner family always took their cars to the same garage for maintenance, something I was well aware of.

"Mechanic mentioned your car was tampered with," Dustin's words made me freeze for a moment.

Of course, I felt guilty because I was the one who had it tampered with.

"Is that so?" I feigned surprise.

"Felicia, has someone else been driving your car?" Dustin pressed, concern lacing his tone.

I knew he was worried about me. I bit my lip, pondering over how to respond.

Then, Dustin added, "Whoever did it wasn’t out to harm you, just to cause some trouble. Luckily, it happened when you were heading home. It could have been more problematic if you were elsewhere."

With that, I no longer felt the need to make up excuses. "I understand."

After a brief silence, Dustin spoke again, sensing the noise around me, "You're out, aren’t you? It sounds busy."

"Mhm," was all I replied with.

Dustin, picking up on my reluctance to continue the conversation, softly said, "Just be careful, then."
