No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 226

But at that moment, all I could do was play it cool, watching her approach me, getting closer.

"Felicia," Haley stood in front of me and called my name again, her eyes brimming with tears.

I squinted slightly, not saying a word, just waiting for her to continue.

She was brewing her emotions; I couldn't ruin that for her.

"Can you stay away from Rad?" she finally said.

My brows furrowed, "Hmm?"

"You guys broke up. He's with me now. So, you're history. I don't want you popping up around him, messing with his emotions," Haley's gaze was shaky, tears rolling in her eyes.

I laughed. So, she was blaming me for Conrad's cold treatment towards her earlier.

"Ms. Perez, are you telling me you can't cover the damages and want me to pick up the slack?" I taunted.

Haley's face turned a shade paler, thinking I was mocking her financial situation.

But I wasn't laughing at her poverty; I was laughing at her ridiculousness.

"I couldn't afford it before, but now it's different," Haley shot back, clearly not one to be easily defeated.

Her confidence was solely because she was now officially with Conrad.

She used that to stab at my heart, but I wasn't about to let her walk all over me. I feigned an epiphany, "Oh, right. I almost forgot you're no longer the unwanted widow of Aiden Martin."

Hearing Aiden's name made her freeze, and then the tears started flowing, "Felicia, you don't have to use Aiden against me. I don't want you around Rad, not just for me, but for your sake too."

I smiled lightly. "Is that so? I'd love to hear how exactly this is for my sake."

Haley wiped the tears from the corner of her eye, "Rad is really bitter towards you. He hates how quickly you moved on, even feels like you never truly loved him all these years."

I frowned slightly. "Did Conrad tell you that?"
