No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 295

I knew Herschel and Jacqueline treated me like their own. But ever since I stumbled upon that contract, a nagging doubt crept in every time I faced them. I wanted to get the doubt out of my mind. I wanted to love them openly and accept their love without reservations.

Lord chuckled, "Like father, like daughter."

His words stopped me cold. He had just claimed he couldn't remember my father. He was lying to me.

Why?

I caught my breath, my fingers digging into my palm.

Then, Lord scoffed lightly, "Herschel mentions him every chance he gets. How could I forget a man I only met twice over a decade ago?"

My throat tightened. "Herschel talks about my dad... why?"

Lord stood, and a bodyguard approached, but Lord stopped him with a gesture. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lush lawn. "What do you think Herschel would talk about your dad, Felicia?"

‘Classic Herschel, always playing his cards right.’ I thought. I had no clue what Herschel might have said, and I dared not speculate.

I stood up and joined Lord by the window. "Herschel was one of my dad's only friends."

Lord didn't respond, his gaze fixed outside.
