No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 550

Uh, what?!

That's a new one on me.

I've never heard Ernest mention it before.

Thinking back, in the months I've been with him, aside from mentioning Susie, he hardly ever talks about his family or his past.

I thought maybe he was ashamed, feeling his family background wasn't up to snuff. So, to avoid hurting his pride, I never poked around. But now, realizing his true identity, his silence might have been him being cautious around me. Just the thought tightens a knot in my chest.

"Lost? Kidnapped or something?" I joked.

"Worse than kidnapped, it seems. But my folks clammed up about it," Susie's revelation took me aback.

And now I'm puzzled, "Kidnapped? But Ernest wasn't exactly a kid back then, how did he get kidnapped?"

"I've no clue. My parents kept it hush-hush, and I only caught snippets. After they found him, they sent him off to the army," Susie said, shaking her head, "You have no idea how much I cried when Ernest left for the military." I knew Ernest had served, but I didn't know the circumstances.
