No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 247



"Goodnight, my dear girlfriend!"

It was half an hour later when I got a message from Ernest.

I had no idea what I'd been doing for that half hour. Was I taking a cold shower like they do in the novels?

Thinking back to that abrupt stop earlier, I was too embarrassed to reply to him.

I didn't sleep well that night, probably because I didn't take that cold shower. It felt like something was crawling under my skin.
