"You're such a jerk." Conrad's roar was low as he grabbed Ernest by the collar.
My heart skipped a beat, and without caring about my own sorrow, I was about to intervene when Ernest coolly responded, "Mr. Wagner, maybe you think I'm despicable because you've never put your heart into treating Licia the way I do?"
Conrad's gaze narrowed sharply. "Ernest, your little high school tricks won't fool Felicia. She doesn't like all that smoke and mirrors, get it?"
Didn't I like it? Indeed, I had once told Conrad I didn't.
I remember our first Valentine's Day after we became an item; he didn't get me anything, not even dinner.
The next day, while having lunch with Jefferson and some friends, Jefferson jokingly asked how Conrad had spent our first Valentine's Day together.
I was so embarrassed at that moment, and later, when Conrad apologized saying he had forgotten, I had to save face by claiming I didn't like such things.
But what girl doesn't appreciate flowers and a bit of romance? The problem was, he never offered any!
"Do you still think she doesn't like it?" Ernest asked softly.
Conrad looked over, not sure if he could see the tears on my face, but he had seen them before.
He should know my tear-streaked face was because of what?
Apart from the tears of joy and longing because Ernest used AI to bring back my parents, there were tears of being touched and happy for Ernest's heartfelt efforts.
Ernest's love was in the details, his love was in every meal he cooked, his silent protection, and the personal light show he put on just for me...
After a long stare, Conrad finally looked away, still with a chilly gaze at Ernest, "Felicia loves me. We've been together for a decade, and she would die for me."
Ernest didn't speak, and Conrad scoffed, "Don't believe me? Have you noticed the small dent on her left middle finger? That's the proof."
