No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 302



"Are you trying to ghost the guy after having your fun?" Fanny thought that of me.

I denied it without a second thought, "Me? Never!"

Fanny snorted, "You practically drained him of all but his last breath, and you're saying nothing happened?"

I looked at her, still trying to gather my thoughts. But Fanny pointed at her neck, propping herself up on the edge of the bed. "Licia, girl, impressive. I didn't see it coming. It seems you've unleashed all that pent-up energy from the past twenty years on Mr. Collins."

I swallowed hard when thinking about the love bite I'd left on Ernest. "It's not what you think."

Fanny raised her hand to stop me. "No need to explain."

I laughed helplessly. Indeed, some things get murkier the more you try to clarify.

Fanny looked at me. "Feeling better now?"

She was referring to my investigation into my parents' accident. I closed my eyes, silent.

Fanny sat by my bed, patting my hand. "You've looked into it. Now, let it go. No more stirring things up, okay?"

It was over, but it had also etched in my heart.
