No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 863

It had been a while since we had such undisturbed closeness.

"Feels like a waste for just the two of us to have this whole cruise to ourselves," I sighed after a lingering kiss.

I stared wide-eyed at Ernest. "You..."

"With a view like this, you've got to share it with your favorite people. Besides me, I suppose Dr. Willis is a close second," Ernest said with that knowing smile of his.

"Oh wow, you're being so warm. Aren't you worried Mr. Collins will get jealous?" Fanny teased but hugged me tightly anyway.

I glanced over at the figure climbing up behind her, whispering in Fanny's ear, "Your uncle's been quite the shadow lately."

"No way, he's here because your Mr. Collins invited him. We just happened to come along," Fanny pinched my side, "Keep your thoughts clean."
