No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 788

"Did you really break up with Yates, and he didn't say anything?" I asked Fanny after she told me, a bit surprised.

Fanny chuckled softly. "Maybe he's just as tired as I am. When you're single, you can do whatever you want without anyone breathing down your neck, no strings attached."

Clearly, she was venting.

"So, was breaking up a spur-of-the-moment thing? Just to rile him up?" I probed further.

She shook her head. "No, I thought it through."

I raised an eyebrow, and she laughed. "Seriously, ever since I asked him if we could move back home, I've been pondering what I truly want."

"Honestly, isn't what every woman wants from love and marriage just a sense of stability and support? If he can't give me that, I might as well be on my own. Why should I cling to this relationship?" Fanny asked quietly.

I teased her, "To satisfy your physical needs?"

Fanny laughed again. "If finding a man was just about that, it'd be easy. You could pay for it, with all sorts of options, and keep changing it up."

I laughed along, "Dr. Willis would definitely raise an eyebrow at that."

Despite the playful banter, I couldn't deny the truth in her words. "Fanny, whatever decision you make, I'm here for you. But I know how gut-wrenching it can be to end things. If you're feeling down, I'm just a call away. We could always drown our sorrows in a bottle."
