No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 409



"No way," I was pretty sure about it.

But Susie just shook her head. "Nope, when my brother gets back, I'm gonna make him pop the question and marry you straight away. That way, no one else can even think about it."

Such an innocent little thing, thinking so simply. Doesn't she know there's something called divorce in this world?

I kept my concerns to myself to avoid adding to her worries. Instead, I played along with a smile, saying, "Oh, I've been eagerly waiting for your brother to propose to me."

"Really?" Susie's eyes sparkled before she took out her phone and sent Ernest a voice message, "Bro, your future wife is waiting for you to propose. Get back here and pop the question."

Susie's innocence made me chuckle.

After sending the message, Susie frowned, "Why can't I reach my brother? He's not responding to texts either. I hope nothing's happened." Her words made my heart skip a beat. I could be worried, but I couldn't let Susie see that. So, I joked, "Maybe he's been kidnapped by another beauty on his way."

"No way, my brother has loads of admirers, but he's never been interested. His heart belongs to you alone," Susie teased with a wink.
