No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 459

He cracked a smile, "Looks like you really resent me."

"I wouldn't say that, but feeling cheated is pretty accurate. After all, you wasted ten years of my youth and emotions," I said, deciding to lay it all out now that the topic was on the table.

"What about my last ten years?" he asked softly. "Felicia, I loved you too during those years. I was all in."

Our eyes met briefly before I looked away. "I don't deny that, but the moment you cheated with Haley, you erased all your efforts with your own hands."

"Don't people get a chance at parole, a shot at redemption? Why can't I?" Conrad seemed unwilling to let go.

"With me, you don't," I replied just as our food arrived.

Conrad wanted to say more, but I cut him off, "If you want me to stay for this meal, then drop the past."

His expression turned serious, and he went quiet. We barely touched our food; it tasted bland since our minds were clearly somewhere else.

After dinner, Conrad took me to a hotel, arranging for me to stay in the room next to his.

Before entering my room, I said, "I want to see Jefferson as soon as possible."

"I know," Conrad replied, a hint of silence in his voice. "Call me if you need anything."

This time, I didn't dismiss his kindness and nodded before entering my room.

As I was about to go in, Conrad called out, "Felicia, do you really know Ernest?"

I turned, puzzled.

He didn't answer, just walked into his own room.

Frowning slightly, I wondered what he meant by that.
