NovelEnglishChapter 344 Watching Haley's denial, I couldn't help but mock her with a twisted smile. "You think you know him better? I've been his ride or die for a decade, sharing pizza slices and knowing every little detail about each other, down to who farted and how many times we hit the bathroom." I was borrowing the jest Jeff Daniels once made aboutand Conrad.
Haley staggered, shaking her head in disbelief, "No, that's not true." "Try me," I said with a menacing tone.
