No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 249



"What's up?"

"Ernest!"

Both of us spoke at the same time.

"Did you say you were leaving today? Where are you off to?" I was panting from having run up to him.

The frown he had from my sudden sprint from the car eased at the sound of my voice, then a smile crept onto his face, "Scared I'd take off without saying goodbye?"

His teasing made my cheeks flush, and I feigned annoyance. "Where exactly are you going?"

"Not leaving anymore," Ernest replied, dodging the question.

I frowned, asking, "What's that mean?"

"I was going to leave since my job here is done, and there wasn't anything keeping me here. But now, that's changed," he said, stepping closer and leaning down slightly, "Because I have a girlfriend now."

That statement sent a thrill through me, making me step back, overwhelmed.

But before I could take another step away, Ernest caught my wrist and pulled me into a strong embrace.
