Chapter 171 I was relishing a bowl of shaved ice.
It was my absolute favorite.
Ernest glanced at my choice of shaved ice and frowned.
"What, you're not a fan?" I teased him.
"It's not great for women to constoo much of this stuff," Ernest commented.
I chuckled. "Wow, Mr. Collins, quite the expert on women, huh? You sure you've never been in a relationship?" "Never," he confirmed with certainty.

"I have a sister, so I know a bit about women's health," Ernest explained, causingto pause mid-bite.
He had a sister? But he never mentioned her before.
Suddenly, a song popped into my head, makingwonder just how many 'sisters' he had.
Reading my thoughts, Ernest quickly clarified, "A real sister. Sparents." I resumed eating my shaved ice, "You've never mentioned her before." "I never found the right moment," Ernest also took a bite of his shaved ice and visibly cringed.
He didn't like it.
Conrad used to say the sthing.
That such treats were nothing but trouble.
Remembering that madefeel uneasy, "If you don't like it, don't force yourself. We can order something else." "It's fine, just a bit cold," Ernest said, looking concerned. "Eating something so cold this late might upset your stomach." I responded with silence, a form of protest.
Ernest seemed to sense my mood and didn't push further, and we continued eating in silence.
"Felicia," a familiar voice, laced with surprise, called out from behind me.
Turning around, I saw Jefferson, his arm around a girl with perfect makeup. "Jefferson," I greeted.
"Here for sshaved ice on your own?" He hadn't noticed Ernest.

"Is that so?" Jefferson finally gave Ernest a proper look, recognizing him from their previous encounter at the amusement park. Ernest nodded but remained quiet.
Jefferson seemed taken aback, shaking his head, "Wait... Felicia, what's going on? Fillin." "There's not much to tell. I've got a boyfriend now. Plus, we've already visited the Wagner family tonight, met with Herschel and Jacqueline," I shared, making it clear to Jefferson that it was serious.
"You moved fast, didn't you?" Jefferson seemed incredulous.
I secretly laughed. Conrad had moved on with Haley even before we broke up Wasn't that faster? "Jefferson, you were the one encouraging me. Have you forgotten?" I retorted.
Scratching his head, Jefferson chuckled, "I knew you weren't asm innocent as you look. You do have sbite. Well done." He then glanced at Ernest again before adding, "Nicely done."
I knew then that Jefferson supported to move on min my decision to especially considering my past with Conrad. I was right to call him Jefferson.
