No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 657

The topic finally came up, and it wasn't as if Fanny hadn't considered it before. So when he asked, she didn't need a moment to think. "Why don't you come back and build your career here?" Fanny countered.

Yates, in the midst of kissing her, paused slightly, "I can't just yet."

Fanny didn't press for details. She simply replied, "I don't want to move abroad."

Their conversation tapered off, with Yates likely sensing Fanny's mood. He gently pulled her closer, "I'll apply to return next year."

"Okay," Fanny murmured, eyes closed.

"You get some sleep. I'll go take a shower," Yates said, standing up and heading to the bathroom.

But suddenly, Fanny's eyes shot open as she stared up at the ceiling. She used to think long-distance relationships were doable, but now she was starting to see just how torturous they could really be. Yates' phone rang. Fanny picked it up, calling out towards the bathroom, "Yates, it's Milly."

"Just take it," Yates replied, casual as always.

Fanny smirked slightly and answered, "Hey, Milly."
