No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 655

Yates whisked Fanny away from the hospital, leading her to believe they were heading to a hotel. But once they got into the car, he casually asked, "Is it cool if we stop by your place?" Fanny paused, quickly catching his drift, "Oh, so you want to check if I've got other guys hanging around?"

"Not at all."

Right, Fanny thought sarcastically. As if she'd believe that. It seemed jealousy was a universal trait in men.

No sooner had she scoffed to herself than Yates added, "I just don't want to be treated like just another guy."

Fanny fell silent. How could she say no now? Reluctantly, she led Yates to her apartment.

Her place was her sanctuary, visited only by her parents and her best friend, Lucy Hamilton. So, she wasn't worried about any unexpected discoveries.

As they climbed the stairs to her apartment, she opened the door and, instead of heading straight in, wrapped her arms around Yates's neck. Standing there without her shoes, she suddenly felt a lot shorter and had to stand on tiptoes to reach him. "Carry me," she commanded.

Yates lifted her effortlessly, letting her cling to his neck.

"First things first, Yates," Fanny began, "the whole hotel drama was just for show. Lucy and I never took guys back to our room. We shared it, and I've never had another man over. Feel free to look around..."
