No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 146



I don't know why I felt like crying, just a bittersweet, swollen feeling, like a sponge soaked in water...

Maybe it was because, in this house without my parents, someone cared for me again when no one else did.

Or maybe it was because Ernest actually got me, knew that even though I left the amusement park, my heart was still tied there.

I kept reading the note over and over. When I stepped out of the bathroom, I really saw it on the small dining table in the diner, a thermal flask and a fried egg on a plate.

At that moment, I pressed the note to my chest, and tears started to roll down.

Ernest made breakfast for me, and I didn't take his kindness for granted. After eating, I sent him a message: Thank you.

Those two words were simple, but I couldn't just take his efforts for granted.

After sending the message, I played around with the little trinkets I picked up from the night market yesterday. My phone rang before I could get them sorted.
