No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 375



I was genuinely surprised when Ernest agreed, but his consent tugged at my heartstrings even more.

He clearly didn't want to, yet he honored Susie's wishes all the same.

Susie, perhaps fearing Ernest might back out, immediately took out her smartphone to register online. Watching her seriously fill out the registration, a realization hit me - this girl was a powerhouse of positive, grateful energy.

"Ernest, let's sign up too," I found myself deciding on the spur of the moment.

Ernest looked at me, and even Susie paused her application. "Licia."

"Alright," Ernest readily agreed, pulling out his phone.

"Bro, Licia, you guys..." Susie was visibly moved and a bit worried.

It's funny how when it's something we decide on our own, we dive in headfirst, but the moment someone else does the same, we hesitate to accept it.

But Susie didn't try to stop us. Instead, she transformed her concern into a smile. "Licia, bro, let's do this together and hope we all stay healthy for many years to come, never needing to use this application."

Ernest and I couldn't help but laugh at her comment, and I teased her, "So, your grand gesture of love is just for show, huh?"
