No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 363



"I'll have two servings of spaghetti, one with no tomato sauce, just pepper sauce, and a side of mango juice and a glass of water, oh, and a low-fat blueberry mousse."

Yates ordered with a certain grace, and it was clear he was ordering for two.

The order was unmistakably tailored to Fanny's taste, especially the detail about the black pepper sauce. That was something only someone who paid close attention or was very close to her would know.

Fanny never fusses about her food in public, but she steers clear of anything with tomato sauce.

Yates hadn't seen her for years, and they had only recently made their relationship official. Yet, he knew her preferences so well, a testament to his genuine care for her.

I had once teased them about being a cliché couple, but here he was, proving me wrong with his attentiveness.

"Let's go order," Ernest whispered, giving my hand a gentle squeeze as a reminder.

I understood it wasn't the right time to intrude on Yates and Fanny's rare moment together.
