No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 209

"I dunno!"

Ernest delivered his succinct three-word response with a crisp efficiency.

Yet, I couldn't help but laugh, "You don't know, and yet here you are, knocking on my door?"

Ernest, busy tucking the freshly chopped vegetables onto a plate for later use, responded without missing a beat, "The lady downstairs told me, said my girlfriend was back."

I was speechless.

Sipping my tea, I admired the sight of a man cooking, when Ernest suddenly turned his head to catch my gaze. "What are you doubting?"

I offered a faint smile, "Doubting... that you're stalking me."

"Hmm?" He frowned slightly.

"Just kidding. I know you're not that idle," I said, returning to the living room to enjoy my tea.

After a few sips and a brief stint on my phone, sleepiness crept up on me, and before I knew it, I had dozed off.

In my dream, I was caught by a bald man, Lord instructed him to kill me. As I desperately shook my head, a long knife was thrust towards me...

"Licia! Licia, wake up..." Ernest's anxious voice and his firm hands steadying my head woke me up.

"Nightmare?" His voice was deep and concerned.

Still shaken from the dream, I gasped for air. Remembering the bald man who had cornered Ernest, I grabbed his hand, "The bald guy who ambushed you, he's one of Lord's men. I've seen him."

Ernest's brow furrowed deeper, "How do you know?"

"I've seen him," I tightened my grip on his hand, then slowly let go.

"Felicia Hudson, this is my fight, not yours. Understand?" His tone was serious, even stern.

I wanted to say I wasn't trying to meddle in his business; I was investigating my father's death and stumbled upon it by accident.
