Chapter 320 Jacqueline mentioned, "Ernest is so lucky to have you in his life." I couldn't help but smile slightly, not uttering a word.
Wasn't I just as fortunate? When Conrad betrayed me, I stumbled upon Ernest who healed and redeemed me.
"When are you guys planning on coming back?" Jacqueline inquired further.
"Not sure," I responded vaguely.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJacqueline sighed, "Felicia, when you get back, cover for a chat, will you? I've got a lot on my mind that's just too hard to bear." Considering her fallout with Conrad and his mother over defendingand driving Haley Perez away, I promised, "Sure, I'll csee you and Herschel once I'm back." "Alright, just take care of yourself out there, especially in unfamiliar places," Jacqueline advised.
"Will do," I assured her, "and don't you worry too much." With a heavy sigh from Jacqueline, the call ended, and I let out a long breath.
Ever since things went south with Conrad, conversations with Jacqueline and Herschel felt increasingly stifling.
I pocketed my phone, my gaze shifting to Ernest and his sister, Susie, who were engrossed in their conversation, Susie giggling and playfully tugging at Ernest's shirt like a carefree child.
Opting not to interrupt, I opened my messengerto text Fanny but noticed several unread messages from Haley.
[Felicia, do you know where Rad is?] [Felicia, did something happen to Rad? I can't reach him, can you try contacting him for me?] [Felicia, I'm really scared.] It dawned onthat Conrad hadn't informed her of his departure.
I had no intention of replying; after all, it was no longer my concern.
Exiting the chat, I snapped a photo to send to Fanny, but before I could, Haley's voice call cthrough.
Refusing to text back, she resorted to calling, assuming Conrad and I had eloped? Amused by the thought, I answered with a scoff, "Hello?" "Sorry to bother you this late, Felicia," Haley spoke with an air of politeness.
I wasn't in the mood for pretense, "Just get to the point." "Did you see my messages?" she asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, I saw them!" I replied, acknowledging the truth.
Silence fell on her end, likely grasping why I hadn't responded.
After a brief pause, she inquired, "So, do you know where Rad has gone?"
"I don't know, and letmake it m clear, he's not withsaid exposing her underlying suspicion.
Haley hurriedly explained, "Felicia, don't getwrong. I'm not suspecting anything between two. I'm just... just worried about him." "What are you worried about?" I pressed.
Was she afraid Conrad had left her?
"Felicia, I'm scared something happened to Rad," Haley's voicem quivered "Do you know what he before he left? He made
