Chapter 226 But at that moment, all I could do was play it cool, watching her approach me, getting closer. "Felicia," Haley stood in front ofand called my nagain, her eyes brimming with tears.
I squinted slightly, not saying a word, just waiting for her to continue.
She was brewing her emotions; I couldn't ruin that for her.
"Can you stay away from Rad?" she finally said.
My brows furrowed, "Hmm?" "You guys broke up. He's withnow. So, you're history. I don't want you popping up around him, messing with his emotions," Haley's gaze was shaky, tears rolling in her eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI laughed. So, she was blamingfor Conrad's cold treatment towards her earlier.
"Ms. Perez, are you tellingyou can't cover the damages and wantto pick up the slack?" I taunted.
Haley's face turned a shade paler, thinking I was mocking her financial situation.
But I wasn't laughing at her poverty; I was laughing at her ridiculousness.
"I couldn't afford it before, but now it's different," Haley shot back, clearly not one to be easily defeated.
Her confidence was solely because she was now officially with Conrad.
She used that to stab at my heart, but I wasn't about to let her walk all over me. I feigned an epiphany, "Oh, right. I almost forgot you're no longer the unwanted widow of Aiden Martin." Hearing Aiden's nmade her freeze, and then the tears started flowing, "Felicia, you don't have to use Aiden against me. I don't want you around Rad, not just for me, but for your sake too." I smiled lightly. "Is that so? I'd love to hear how exactly this is for my sake." Haley wiped the tears from the corner of her eye, "Rad is really bitter towards you. He hates how quickly you moved on, even feels like you never truly loved him all these years." I frowned slightly. "Did Conrad tell you that?" "No," Haley pursed her lips, replying, "He's too proud to say it, but I can feel it." "Oh, so he's being petty. I don't want him anymore, but now he's uncomfortable," I didn't mince my words. "Felicia, how can you talk about him like that?" Haley jumped to his defense.
"How else should I talk? Say how wonderful he is for choosing you suddenly remembering my good qualities?" My words hit her hard, making her bite her lip in silence.
She didn't say anything more.
I warned her, "Haley, don't try those mind games with me. I'm not buying it. Don't bother testing me. Conrad is someone I let go of. If you're picking him up, good for you. I should thank yout for clearing my doorstep.
|| Haley's lips trembled, unable to speak further.
I glanced at her slightly swollen belly, chose to spare her more words, and turned away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut then, Haley added, "Since you don't want him anymore, could you say something to his parents? So they won't blhim." I didn't look back as I retorted, "Why should I speak on his behalf?" Haley didn't respond, and I left the amusement park, heading to the Starlight Diner.
Just as I entered the lobby, I spotted a familiar face who also noticed me, waving enthusiastically, "Felicia, what a coincidence." "Mr. Smith," I greeted him coolly.
Grant cover, "Had enough of a break? You better be at work m tomorrow. Otherwise, I might start looking for a replacement." "Mr. Smith, scaringlike that? I'll definitely be at work tomorrow," I responded, noticing Jefferson coming over.
He too saw me. "Felicia." he greeted.
I waved at him, turning to Grant. "Mr. Smith, I'm here with a friend. See you tomorrow."
"What kind of friend? A boyfriend? Introduce us," Grant was clearly not nt considering boundaries, obviously overstepping.
I was about to correct him when Jefferson cover, "Yes, I'm hen over boyfriend. So, sf, you might want to stop hitting on her." Ashburn > X
