No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 330



Listening to this explanation left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

Poor Fanny had been harboring a secret crush, and she wouldn't have approached Yates if it hadn't been for my nudging. And then for Yates to bluntly dismiss her like that, Fanny's heart must have been shattered.

It was one thing not to return her feelings, but to hurt her so carelessly, without sparing her dignity, was another level of cruelty.

I was about to speak up when Yates interrupted Fanny, "I don't mind the trouble, and you're the only trouble I'm willing to deal with."

What?

What did that mean?

I was confused, and by the looks of it, Fanny was too, "Yates..."

"You said you liked me, right?" Yates cut her off again.

Fanny was speechless.

"If you like me, why entertain other guys, accepting their affections?" As soon as Yates said this, everything clicked for me.
