NovelAppChapter 96 And there he was, clearly green with jealousy.
What a jerk, huh? Flirting with the young widow on one side while not wanting to let go ofon the other. He really wants to have his cake and eat it too.
I spent several minutes in the restroom before coming out, only to overhear Haley's voice, sounding pitiful, "Rad, you still have feelings for Felicia, don't you?" "She's my fiancée," Conrad's reply confirmed my suspicions; he still had feelings for me.
"But she broke up with you," Haley's voice was soft and delicate.
She really knew how to play her cards right in front of a man, even her voice was perfectly modulated.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"That was her breaking up, not me. Besides, she can't live without me. She was just angry; she'll get over it," Conrad's words tookby surprise.
So, he considered my breakup just a tantrum, still believing I couldn't leave him.
But him saying all this in front of Haley, did that mean there was really nothing between them? "You men are all the same, not appreciating what you have until it's gone, and then not willing to let go," Haley mocked Conrad.
He remained silent, and then Haley continued, "If you've already made up your mind about Felicia, why keep being nice to me, leadingon?" I held my breath; I was curious too.
Before hearing all this today, I really thought there was something between him and Haley.
But if there really was something, he wouldn't openly admit his feelings forin front of Haley.
But Conrad didn't answer, leavingin the dark, so I quietly stepped forward.
They were standing in the hallway, opposite a full-length mirror, through which I could see Conrad and Haley.
Conrad was looking down at his feet, his expression somber.
"Rad, if you love Felicia, why did you cclose toand kiss me?" Haley's voice made my whole body stiffen. Had they really been that close? It felt like my heart was being bitten, and then it snapped.
"Conrad, say something," Haley suddenly becemotional, grabbing his shirt.
"Why did you kiss me? If you hadn't, Aiden wouldn't have seen, and then..." She didn't finish her sentence before her voice faded, and I saw her body go limp, with Conrad quickly wrapping his arms around her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Haley, Haley," Conrad called out in panic, then lifted her up and hurried away.
I stood there, motionless, watching through the mirror as Conrad carried Haley away in a flurry.
So, Haley said Conrad kissed her and Aiden saw it. It turns out thing wasn't recent; it had be going on for a while.
He had betrayed our relationship long ago.
"Are you Ms. Hudson?" a waitress cin, asking me.
I snapped back to reality and looked at her, the waitress explained m "There's a Mr.Ernest waiting for you outside."
Hearing this, I clenched my fist tightly, then composed myself and walked out of the restroom. Ernest was standing not far from the loom, his tall figure casting in the backlight, solid as an anchor. He walked over, asking, "What's wrong?"
I swallowed the lump in my throat, "Ernest, I can't join you for dinner." I "Alright, then we won't eat," he said, reaching out to me. But I stepped back. "You go ahead, I need to leave." Without waiting for his reaction, I quickly walked away.
