No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 408



Susie was leaving a voicemail for her brother. Could she really get through to him?

That was my first thought. But instead of bursting in, I just stood there quietly, listening to Susie go on.

"Bro, Licia's ex doesn't look at her right. I swear he's still got a thing for her."

"Bro, did you guys have a fight or something? She's been looking kinda lost."

"Bro, why aren't you answering texts or calls? What's up with you?"

"Bro, I'm telling you, if you let her slip away, I'm gonna be so mad at you."

"Ernest, answer your texts, your calls..."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile, realizing she wasn't actually on a call but leaving voice messages for Ernest.

But what was Ernest up to? Why wasn't he answering any calls or messages?

Not wanting to embarrass Susie or let her know I overheard her, I decided to make my presence known by reopening the door and then shutting it loudly.
