No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 332

Ernest gently nudged my forehead with his, whispering, "But I miss you, miss you so much..."

He took my hand and placed it against his warm chest.

I quickly pulled back, hiding my hands behind me. Seeing my panicked look, he chuckled softly, "Don't you want to?"

"No, not at all. I'm tired, I just want to sleep," I pushed him away, fumbling for my keys.

But the more flustered I became, the harder it was to find them. Eventually, Ernest took them out for me.

"My little fluster bunny," he murmured right next to my ear.

My whole body felt warm, as if his heat was transferring to me.

Ernest unlocked the door for me, but just as I was about to step in, he tugged at me, "Really not letting me in?"

"No, no way," I couldn't even bring myself to look at him.

But as soon as I said that, Ernest squeezed in. I glared at him. "Ernest."

"I won't stay long," he said, making a round through the rooms and checking the windows, before finally coming back to me. "All checked, the doors and windows are secure, nothing's amiss."

That moment, my heart softened, feeling something akin to fermentation stirring within.

"After the flight and the hospital visit today, you must be exhausted. Take a shower and get some good sleep," Ernest said, patting my head and pinching my cheek.

Watching him do that, I suddenly didn't want him to leave anymore, didn't want to keep punishing him.

I realized that his actions back home were partly to set an example for Susie, not wanting to embarrass me.

After all, we weren't officially anything yet.

"Sweet dreams!" Ernest said, letting go of me and turning to leave.

But I pulled him back, unable to voice my wish for him to stay, yet hoping my gesture conveyed it.

Ernest, however, looked at me with feigned confusion.
