| Chapter 21 "Felicia, don't get it twisted," Haley said, and I almost burst out laughing. I recalled moments ago when Haley assumed her boyfriend was Conrad while picking out the bedding.

"Is that for Conrad?" I eyed the bedding she chose, a sleek combo of blue and gray, Conrad's old preference. But that was before. Under my influence, his taste has brightened considerably.

Haley bit her lip, hesitating for seconds before shaking her head. "No, it's not what you think. It's for my brother." I didn't bother to argue with her and went straight to the point. "So, Conrad's moving in with you?" Conrad had mentioned he couldn't let anything happy to Haley's child. Being around 24/7 seemed like the logical solution.

"Felicia, you're getting jealous. Conrad hate that," Haley said. Her words madelaugh.

"What's so funny?" She looked at me, eyes wide with innocence yet tinged with caution.

Caught off guard, Haley fell silent, a flash of embarrassment crossing her eyes. "Haley, be wad. Don't ever step one skills if you want tothere. And..." I paused, d and I have broken up." "What?" Haley looked genuinely shocked.

"Thanks to you. By the way, I paid for the foie gras dinner the other night. If we're splitting the bill, you owea third, or you could cover Conrad's share, too," I said, extending my phone toward her.

Haley's face soured. "I don't have money now." I didn't believe her yet was stunned.

"Never mind," I withdrew my phone.

But Haley stopped me. "How about this? I'll add you on WhatsAppand transfer it to you later." I turned her down. "No need!" "I insist," Haley persisted, pulling out her phone and opening the app.

Seeing her determination, I had a O thought and let Haley add me. As she sent the friend request said, "Haley, you want to addon WhatsApp. only to annoywith your status updates, don't you?"
