No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

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 consume too 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 rolled my eyes, clearly not buying his story.

"I have a sister, so I know a bit about women's health," Ernest explained, causing me to pause mid-bite.

He had a sister? But he never mentioned her before.

Suddenly, a song popped into my head, making me wonder just how many 'sisters' he had.

Reading my thoughts, Ernest quickly clarified, "A real sister. Same parents."
