No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 440

I had no idea what the situation was like for Fanny at the moment, but judging from what I'd seen earlier, it was probably pretty similar to the predicament Ernest and I were in.

Getting interrupted like this, especially since it was their first time, was bound to leave a mark.

So, I immediately pressed down on an eager Ernest, "Let's take a quick break."

Ernest, chest heaving, gave me a heated look, "Yeah?"

I pouted towards the door, "Listen, someone's trying to rain on someone else's parade."

Ernest's gaze darkened slightly, "And what about it?"

"We can't just stand by," I started pushing Ernest away as I spoke.

"So, they're raining on our parade too," I loved Ernest's response.

I kissed him quickly. "Hold on, Ernest. I'll go deal with the party pooper."

It was a childish thing to say, making me feel like a kid.

Now I finally get it. When you're with someone who loves and spoils you, you start to age backward, becoming more childlike the longer you live.

That's me. I used to have to put on this mature and aloof act around Conrad, trying to come off as this future lady boss. I worked on maintaining his dignity, seeing the big picture, and understanding elegance, which made me seem way older than I actually was.

Fanny would say Ernest lacks Conrad's wealth and status, but it's precisely because he's free from those burdens that I can be so relaxed with him.

There's truth in the saying, "You win some, you lose some."

I slipped off Ernest like an eel, quickly fixing my disheveled clothes, and hurried to open the door, ready to confront the intruder.

But as I opened my door, the door to Yates' room opened too. However, it wasn't Yates who came out, but Fanny.

I immediately stopped in the doorway, leaning against the frame to quietly observe, ready to join the fray if things went south for Fanny.

"Where's Yates?" Milly was straightforward with Fanny.
