No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 324

So no matter what's going down, you've gotta let it go first.

Susie was this pure, almost angelic kind of girl, but with a heart so tender, I couldn't bear the thought of dragging her down with me.

By the time her and her brother wrapped up their chat, I had already polished off my pudding and even sneaked some from Ernest's bowl.

Caught red-handed in the act of sneaking a bite, it was such a scene that nobody would guess it was done in a foul mood.

And since I had raided Ernest's share, Susie naturally assumed that Ernest and I were no longer at odds.

Both Ernest and Susie seemed taken aback by my maneuver, staring at me.

I spooned another mouthful of the pudding into my mouth, then said, "I want more."

"Ah, I'll whip up another batch right now," Susie said, first surprised, then slightly annoyed.

"No need, let her have my share," Ernest offered, sliding his bowl towards me.

I couldn't possibly eat another bowl, so I winked at him and scooped up another spoonful, "No worries, just a few more bites for me."

"Then let's share," Ernest said, opening his mouth to take in the spoonful of pudding I had prepared.

I froze for a second, but Susie burst into laughter on the side, "You lovebirds and your sweet nothings are even sweeter than my pudding."

That's when I got it. Ernest was playing along, understanding my cue.

Fooled by our little display of affection, Susie was once again all smiles, while Ernest and I carried on with our act, taking turns spooning the rest of the pudding until the bowl was clean.

As Ernest went to clean up, Susie pulled me aside, "Licia, I've got your bed made and your toiletries all set. Let me know if you're missing anything."

"Thanks," I replied, overwhelmed by her kindness and attention to detail.
