No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 243



Allen Clark might have been trying to flirt with me, and I could have easily ignored it, but I couldn't delay the meeting with Lord Clark.

His late-night message seemed off.

If I had responded then, he might have used it as an opportunity to make additional demands. Agreeing would have seemed wrong, and disagreeing might have led him to bring up the issue when we met his father.

The best option might have been to ignore him like I did the day before.

I brought myself back to the conversation with Fanny Willis. I hadn't really been listening, but then I heard her ask, "So, after you two defined the relationship, that was it? No next steps?"

"What next steps?" I was still a bit distracted by Allen's message.

"What do you think is the next step in a romantic relationship? Obviously, that," Fanny said with a mischievous tone.

I immediately understood. "What do you mean by 'that'? Ernest is a gentleman, okay?"

"Does being a gentleman mean he doesn't have desires? Doesn't contribute to human reproduction?" Fanny hit me with these questions and then hummed, "Conrad Wagner is quite the gentleman too."

I fell silent. Fanny seemed to sense something and explained, "I don't mean anything by it; I'm just saying that love produces dopamine in men and women, leading to increased adrenaline and stirring desires."
