No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 370



Ernest and I? There's nothing going on, really. It's just that his deceit sits heavy on my heart, but that's a secret I can't spill to Susie.

Her heart's fragile, and she's got this knack for worrying over every little thing.

"Us? Oh, come on," I said with a laugh, "you've seen us together. You know the score."

Susie looked at me, those bright eyes of hers almost too much to meet head-on. They were so pure, it felt like my gaze alone could tarnish them.

I lifted my hand to shield myself from her stare, "Honestly, it's nothing. If you don't believe me, grill your brother when we get back."

"Licia," Susie wrapped her arms around mine, resting her head on my shoulder, "if Ernie's done something wrong, just smack him around but please, don't leave him."

Her plea was so gentle, it tugged at my heartstrings. I nudged her head with mine, "Okay, I'll let you deal with him."

Susie nodded, "Licia, I'm always on your side."

How scared she must be of losing me.

It was the first time I realized how much someone else valued me.

"Licia, if Ernie lost me and then you left him, he'd be so lost," Susie suddenly said out of the blue.
