No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 476

I kept my eyes locked on Dustin. The moment he spoke, I knew what was up.

"Felicia," Dustin murmured my name, "don't overthink it."

Overthink?

I hadn't, not until he mentioned it. Now, the thought wouldn't leave me alone. "Mom and Dad know too, right?!"

My question sounded more like a confirmation.

They'd raised me for years; of course, they knew my blood type.

"Felicia, when they took you into the Wagner household, they assumed responsibility for you. Knowing these details is just part of that, nothing wrong," Dustin tried his best to explain.

Sure, they knew about my rare blood type, the same as Conrad's. Nothing wrong with that.

But they never mentioned it, which felt off.

"Felicia, why aren't you speaking? Please, don't jump to conclusions. My parents love you like their own. They wouldn't think poorly of you," Dustin continued, his sincerity evident.

Yet, the phrase 'the lady doth protest too much' came to mind.

I was grown, not a child anymore. "Dustin, I hadn't overthought it until you started explaining... now I am."

I emphasized the last bit.

Dustin's expression faltered. "Felicia..."

"Dustin, help me pack, will you?" I didn't believe Dustin had bad intentions, but what he said really got my mind racing.

If they were innocent, they could've simply told me.

"Felicia, Felicia..." Dustin called out, pulling me from my thoughts.

I looked up to meet his worried gaze. "Yeah?"

"What's on your mind? You seem so lost," he asked.

I cleared my throat, feeling it all scratchy. "It's nothing. So, what's up?"

"I've packed everything. Is there anything else you need or want to take?" His voice was soft.

I glanced around. "No, that's everything."
