No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Turning around, Conrad looked at me, his sharp eyes flickering with surprise, quickly followed by a wave of irritable anger. "Felicia, there's a time and place for everything, and Haley, she..."

"I'm your fiancée," I interrupted him.

Saying that made me feel so small. I used to watch TV shows and think how pathetic the female lead was for wasting her breath on such a man. Now that I was in those shoes, I finally understood that feeling.

"Haley is pregnant. I can't leave her alone!" Conrad said, stepping back.

After a few steps, he turned and ran outside.

Conrad had chosen Haley over me. Sitting there, I saw him catch up to Haley, saw them struggling, and finally, clutching at his shirt, Haley collapsed into his arms.

Looking down, I couldn't bear to watch any longer. Whatever was going on between Conrad and Haley, Conrad's choice today gave the wavering part of my heart its answer. In the end, I hardly touched my food but ended up paying a bill of three thousand dollars.

I didn't return to the Wagner family. Instead, I went to Fanny's place.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Are you deciding to break up?" Fanny, the wonder woman of gynecology, was giving me an acupressure massage, sparing me the agony of menstrual cramps. But as skilled as she was, she couldn't heal my heart.

"Yeah," I said, lying on her bed where she couldn't see the tears starting to form in my eyes.

"It might not be easy to break it off with Conrad," Fanny paused, "Don't forget you're still his assistant."

"I'll quit!" I had thought about this on the way over.

Fanny nodded. "Okay, even if you quit and stop working with Conrad, what about the Wagner family? They've raised you for many years. You can't just cut ties with them because you've broken up with Conrad, right? You can't completely break from Conrad if you're still in contact with the Wagner family."

Her question hit me hard. Yes, I owed the Wagner family ten years of nurturing.

"I'll keep them separate. I'll explain everything to Jacqueline. I can be her god-daughter," I was determined.

When hearing that, Fanny didn't say much more. "Whatever decision you make, I'm here for you."

I turned off my phone that night. And

I managed to sleep, not wings to

sorrow. When I woke up,

Fanny had

breakfast ready.

"Fresh milk, good for replenishing your energy," Fanny glanced at my face. "Have some more."

I didn't disappoint her, drinking two glasses and eating two eggs.

Fanny had an early shift, and I had to go to the office. We left the apartment together, but as soon as we got downstairs, I saw Conrad leaning against his car with white roses in his hand.

"He's here to apologize." Fanny nudged me and went ahead.

As she passed Conrad, she said,

"You know, Mr. Wagner, upset during her period

getting

serious health issues."

Fanny left him with that thought and walked away, just as Conrad came up to me.

"I'm sorry about last night." Conrad extended the flowers toward me.

I didn't take them. "Conrad, we're done."

Since I had spoken those words the previous night, there was no way I'd let it all go over a simple gesture of apology.
