No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 62

Dustin halted, casting a doubtful glance my way.

I offered a wry smile, saying, "Jacqueline did some redecorating."

After that, I handed Dustin his bag. "Dustin, why don't you unpack and rest a bit? I need to sort some things out myself."

He hummed in response, and I returned to my room.

The room still held both my and Conrad's belongings, clearly showing no one had lived there since I left. It seemed Conrad hadn't returned even once. Where had he been staying all this time? With Haley at Crystal Bay Villas, maybe?

The thought squeezed my chest. It felt like I had gotten Conrad out of my heart, but the wounds he left are still healing.

I pushed those thoughts aside and started packing my things. Years of practicing minimalism could make the job easier. My clothes and personal items weren't many, fitting neatly into one suitcase.

When I almost finished packing, a knock on the door pulled me back. It was Dustin.

He had changed clothes and peered past me to the still-open suitcase, his brows furrowing. "You're moving out of the Wagner family?"

"Yeah, it'd be awkward to stay," I said, continuing with my packing.

Dustin stepped inside, his gaze landing on the open wardrobe with Conrad's clothes still hanging inside. His fists clenched at his sides.

"You and Conrad have been together for so long, and to leave like this..." Dustin's voice trailed off, "Are you sure you're okay with this?"

Was I okay with it? That word again?
