No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 769

Glancing at my watch, which was edging closer to midnight, I received a call from him, "Felicia, is Fanny with you?"

"No, she's not," I mumbled, still half asleep, but quickly added, "What's up? You can't find Fanny?"

"I just finished work, tried calling her but got no answer. Maybe she headed home," Yates said before hanging up and dialing Fanny's parents. He had exchanged numbers with Fanny's dad during their last visit. "Yates?" The voice of Fanny's father, Aicken Willis, was heavy with sleep.

"Uncle, it's me, Yates. I was wondering, is Fanny home?" Yates tentatively asked.

"No, the girl hasn't been home in ages. What's going on? Did you two have a fight?" Aicken's response was typical and calm.

"No, nothing like that, Uncle. I just got back today," Yates explained. Still, Aicken knew that Yates wouldn't be calling unless he was genuinely unable to find Fanny.
