No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 716

Susie's phone lay forgotten at her feet. Her deep, dark eyes trembled violently, revealing her distress. There was no need to ask; she'd overheard everything. "Susie," I called softly, stepping closer to her. However, her gaze was fixed on Mack. "What did you mean when you mentioned the heart inside me?" she demanded. Mack was at a loss for words, leaving me to intervene, "Susie..."

"Don't talk to me," she snapped, for the first time ever. Right now, she only wanted answers from Mack, even though she seemed confused. But it wasn't hard to guess the truth if you thought about it. Mack stepped forward, looking at me. "Sis, why don't you go inside? I'll explain everything to her."

It seemed best for me not to interfere at this moment, but how could I leave without worrying? I stopped just beyond the patio, leaning against the wall to eavesdrop on Susie and Mack's conversation.

"Whose heart do I have? Your ex-girlfriend's?" Susie's question confirmed my suspicions. Despite being inexperienced in love, having never fancied a boy or dated before Mack, she'd read enough romance novels to have a basic understanding. "Susie, can you please calm down?" Mack pleaded, knowing her heart couldn't withstand much stress.

"Just answer me," Susie insisted, clearly agitated.

I could understand her feelings; I would feel the same way. I looked down at my toes, listening anxiously and uneasily to their conversation. Even though I had asked Yates and knew Susie's new heart was strong, it didn't mean she could handle this kind of shock. Mack fell silent, seemingly unable to utter such cruel words.
