No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 790

Fanny didn't pick up the call, and a few seconds later, she hung up.

I hadn't expected her decisiveness and firmness; she was definitely resolute about this.

In this regard, she's stronger than me, not one to drag things out.

To be fair, I wasn't exactly dragging my feet either. When Conrad and I broke up, that was it. We occasionally touched base, but that was more out of obligation than anything else.

Seeing Fanny and Yates reach this point felt a bit unfortunate, but I didn't voice it. Relationships are personal; only those involved truly understand the intricacies.

It was from Yates: "Fanny, I'm leaving."

I glanced at Fanny, and without missing a beat, she said, "I'll block him in a bit."

"If you can't bring yourself to do it, I'll help," I teased.
