No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 150



My heart skipped a beat, "I told you, we can't be a thing. If that's what you're hoping for, I think we shouldn't even pretend to date. I'll find someone else."

As soon as I finished speaking, Ernest, who had been standing still, took a long stride towards me, "And who might that be?"

Instinctively, I stepped back, but as I retreated, he advanced, pressing on, "What, going on more blind dates? Or perhaps asking a brother or a friend?"

I could almost taste the jealousy.

"Ernest!" I put my hand out to stop him as I ran out of room to back away.

But he cut me off before I could say more, "I admit, I have feelings for you, but you rejected me. So, I won't be the guy who can't take a hint."

Huh?

Now, I was the confused one.

Ernest's expression was cool, his deep-set eyes locking onto mine. "Right now, I'm just a regular guy living across from you. Don't overthink it."

I was speechless. Was he implying I was the one with a wild imagination?
