No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 239

The technicolor world vanished beneath his touch, and my world plunged into darkness. Yet, fear was the furthest thing from my mind.

He was there, beside me, his warmth more comforting than any light could ever be.

"Make a wish. From now on, with me by your side, all your wishes can come true," Ernest's voice, deep as a cello, danced softly around my ears.

The music inside the Ferris wheel pod was soothing, easing the tension from my heart bit by bit.

Make a wish?

What did I even wish for? Ever since my parents' accident, I couldn't really say I had any wishes left.

Being with Conrad was probably the closest thing to a wish, hoping for a forever that was more a silent yearning than an actual wish.

Now, I had to make a wish...

I searched my heart for what I truly desired, but came up empty.

Then, I thought of my parents, their untimely death, and I found my voice, "I wish... I wish to uncover the truth behind my parents' accident."

"I can help you with that," Ernest replied without hesitation.

I laughed, then took his hand, "Then why bother wishing? I could just ask you directly."

"You just missed a great opportunity," Ernest teased, tapping my head lightly.

I smirked, "I stopped believing in that stuff a long time ago."

As I gazed out at the dazzling lights, "After my parents passed, I stopped believing in any kind of divine protection."

Ernest's warmth enveloped my head, not in a pat this time, but a gentle rub, "From now on, just believe in me."

He wanted to be my knight in shining armor. But he didn't understand that I prefer to be my own hero.
