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.

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

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

Fanny shot me a look only a best friend would understand. She didn't reply to Yates, not even when the clerk handed us the wrapped painting and we left the store.
