No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 365



Ernest, quick as a flash, caught my soda before it could spill. Before I even had a chance to turn around, that all-too-familiar voice was already ringing in my ears, “Licia, you're quite the catch. I might have to take lessons from you.”

Finally, Fanny had seen my message.

I playfully slapped her arm. "You scared the living daylights out of me, you know that?"

"Can't afford to literally scare you to death, can I? Right, Mr. Collins?" Fanny teased Ernest with a smirk.

This gal, she's like a docile lamb in front of Yates but turns into a fearless warrior when he's not around. How she manages to pull that off, I'll never know.

"Where's your Yates?" I glanced over to where Fanny had been sitting, but Yates was nowhere in sight.

"He took off," Fanny settled next to me, eyeing Ernest, "Mr. Collins, you ordered for two, and here Licia hasn't got a single bite. Aren't you supposed to look after your girlfriend?"

Fanny was obviously poking fun, well aware that Ernest had my leftovers.

I nudged her gently under the table, a silent plea to ease up on the jokes, especially since it might embarrass Ernest.
