No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 654

Fanny's message brought a smirk to my face as I recalled the hotel booking I had jokingly arranged, prompting me to reply: [Enjoy the romantic getaway I've set up for you two.]

By the time Fanny finished her surgery, it was already 11 PM.

The first thing she did was check her phone, curious if Yates had left any messages.
