No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 24

Ivan was Conrad’s secretary.

I remained silent, and he lowered his gaze. "Felicia, what do you want from me? Just tell me, okay?"

His voice was weak, helpless, and even a bit defeated. It was rare to see him like that.

I voiced my thoughts, "Conrad, we've broken up. You don't have to make it hard on yourself. You can take care of her however you want."

He shook his head, then closed in on me, trapping me between the bathroom sink and his chest. "Don't even think about it. We're getting our marriage license tomorrow."

"Conrad, do you want to marry me?" I echoed his conversation with Jefferson, confronting him directly, "We're too familiar with each other, to the point that you're not even interested in sleeping with me, right?"

"Felicia, I told you that was a joke. You saw I had feelings for you that night..."

"Conrad," I cut him off, not wanting to revisit that night, "That night is a shadow I can't erase in this lifetime, do you get that?"

His pupils dilated, and then he seemed at a loss for words. "What do I need to do for you to forgive me and stop talking about breaking up?"

I had already told him, yet he asked again, but I didn't want to repeat myself.

I pushed him away. "Move. I'm hungry and want to get something to eat."

"Fine, I'll cut off all contact with Haley," he said, pulling out his phone to block Haley on social media and in his contacts. "Happy now?"

"That's why we're afraid of losing such a good girl like Felicia to someone else. Conrad needs to marry her quickly," Jacqueline skillfully steered the conversation toward getting the marriage license the next day.

Conrad looked at me then, a hint of panic in his eyes.

I looked back at him. "Conrad, tell me in front of your parents—do you still want to marry me?"

"What kind of question is that? Conrad, speak up," Jacqueline interjected.

Conrad still had his eyes on me, his gaze deep and swirling emotions I couldn't decipher. "Felicia, I want you to be my wife. Please don’t turn me down."

Everyone turned their eyes to me, waiting for my answer.
