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.

Ernest didn't speak or hug me back, which was pretty awkward.

Just as I was about to let go, I looked up and saw Conrad standing not too far away.

He came here today too? And Deborah, that little gossip, didn't even tell me.

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?"

I tiptoed closer to his ear, "I'm craving the dinner you make."
