No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 236



Just as the incessant ringing of the phone finally halted, the only sounds filling the air were the crackling of the stove and the thudding of mine and his heartbeats.

In such close proximity, our breaths intertwined, and I could clearly see the flicker of flames in Ernest's eyes...

I had this intense premonition that something was bound to happen.

Knock, knock!

The sound of knocking broke the silence, followed by the voice of Olivia from downstairs, "Ernest, the water pressure in my place is really low. Could you take a look for me?"

Ernest, who was pressed up against me, visibly tensed up, and I seized the moment to quickly escape to the couch and plop down.

After a moment, Ernest emerged from the kitchen and went to open the door, "Olivia, let's see what's going on with your water."

"Thanks," Olivia peeked inside, naturally noticing me, and politely greeted, "Felicia, do you mind if I borrow Ernest for a sec?" Oh, the way she put it.

But I played along, "Olivia, quick borrow, quick return, no extensions."

"Ha-ha, sure, sure," Olivia replied, and Ernest followed her out.

I sighed and then sipped on my juice before heading back to my room.
