No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 221



The sudden hug I gave Ernest made him freeze. After a moment, I heard him ask in a low voice, "Pity me?"

"It's empathy, not pity!" I corrected him.

I was about to release Ernest but then gripped him tighter. Ernest, on the other hand, tried to pull away, but I tightened my hold, "Stay still."

He stopped moving, and I continued to hug him, then asked, "Working late today?"

Ernest replied, "Hmm?"
