No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 289



Ernest looked at me, and I could feel his nerves all tangled up. It seemed he was feeling guilty. As expected, no man was generous about the woman he loved.

Seeing Ernest try to hide his nervousness, I secretly smirked, though I made sure to keep my face straight.

I stood before him, silent.

Ernest's lips moved as if he wanted to say something but seemed to wrestle with whether or not he should. The straightforward man, hesitating, reminded me of a kid who'd done something wrong and didn't know what to do next.

Seeing him like this, I couldn't hold back my laughter. My laughter only confused him more.

I reached out to take the glass of milk he'd prepared for me and tiptoed to plant a kiss on his cheek. "Thanks."

After that, I headed out and instructed him, "Grab my bag, will you?"

Ernest followed me all the way downstairs.

He seemed much more relaxed when we got to the car. Instead of heading for the driver's seat as usual, I walked to the passenger side.

I tossed the car keys to Ernest. "You drive."
