No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 237

Conrad showing up was a surprise, yet somehow expected.

Given that today was the day for the final lighting checks at the amusement park, it was only natural for him, the park's magnate, to drop by for a pre-look.

As we caught each other's gaze, Conrad already made his way over.

My hand warmed as Ernest took it in his.

I have to admit, Ernest was nailing the role of my boyfriend, especially when Conrad was around. His possessive demeanor kicked in immediately, as if marking his territory.

Conrad's eyes briefly lingered on Ernest and me holding hands tightly, but his expression remained unfazed, his tone even and calm, “What time does it start?”

The message was clear to both Ernest and me; he was here for the lighting test.

“In ten minutes,” Ernest responded.

“Where's the best view?” Conrad inquired next.

Ernest's grip on my hand tightened slightly. I looked at him, and he back at me, his eyes seemingly asking my opinion.

He's been here countless times; he knew the answer. But by deferring to me, he was respecting my input.

“Different areas have their own viewing spots, but the main one is the Ferris wheel,” I replied, sticking to the official script.

Conrad's gaze shifted to me and then back to Ernest, “Where will you two be observing from?”

Was he planning to join us? Wasn't this awkward for him?

Then again, he had moved on, probably having let go of whatever we had. What was there to be awkward about?

"Licia and I are going to do a quick run-through first, and..." Ernest paused, "Tonight's not the big final test; I just wanted to give Licia a personal tour."

Something flickered in Conrad's eyes before he softly replied, “Hmm.”

What did that ‘hmm' mean?
