No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 333

Ernest had left, and after a refreshing shower, I collapsed onto my bed, reaching for my phone.

A message from Fanny popped up, complete with a photo and a note.

The photo showed Susie, sound asleep, and the note read: "Susie is safe and sound."

Classic Fanny, always knew I could count on her to take care of things.

I quickly typed a reply: "Thanks a bunch, Your Majesty."

No sooner had I sent the message than Fanny's video call came through. Was she waiting for my call?

Knowing she had just made things official with her crush, I was sure she was dying to share the joy with me, so I answered the call.

There she was, sprawled in her office chair, her face beaming with happiness, so much that the screen could hardly contain it. I teased, "Can't hide that springtime radiance, blushing all over the screen."

"Mrs. Collins, always the wordsmith," Fanny gave a thumbs up.

Cutting the small talk, I thought about her drawn-out romance with Yates and couldn't resist teasing, "Dr. Willis, you really have a way of stringing someone along."

"Do I?" Fanny smiled modestly.

I laughed, "Drop the 'Do I,' will you?"

Fanny just smiled, accepting the tease. I remembered the moment clearly, "Man, you have no idea how thrilled I was when Yates admitted he liked you back. It was like, mutual pining, who would've thought? I nearly crushed my fist, thinking you'd jump into his arms right then."

"But I didn't, surprise, surprise?" Fanny grinned.

"Yeah, were you too excited or what?" I joked.

Fanny bit her lip, "Excited, yes, but not foolish. And I purposely kept my cool."

"Huh," I chuckled, "Playing hard to get?"

"Kind of," Fanny sighed softly, "Felicia, I've liked him, pined for him for years, but as I've told you, while I love him, I won't lose myself in it, nor let him think his reciprocation is some grand favor to me."
