No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 444

Fanny fell silent, burying her face into the crook of my neck.

I reached up to stroke her hair. "Missing Yates pretty bad, huh?"

"It's worse than having a crush," Fanny sighed out.

"Well, that's because you just got a taste of something good, and now you can't have more. Of course, it's tough," I teased, trying to lighten her mood.

"I could have him if I wanted. I'd just hop on a plane," Fanny boasted with a laugh.

Her words reminded me of their conversation last night. "So, you're seriously considering following him?"

Fanny sat up, crossing her legs on the sofa. "I haven't decided yet."

That meant she was considering it.

It was understandable. Who wouldn't want to be with the one they love, especially someone she's had a crush on for so long?

"Take your time, no rush," I nudged her with my shoulder. "So, what was it like last night?"

Fanny playfully jabbed her finger towards me. "You said what's mine is yours. Why so curious?"

"Curious about what our polite and genteel Yates is like when he's not dressed for the ball, of course," I said with a mischievous grin.

"Felicia, ever since you've been with Ernest, you've lost all sense of... decency," Fanny's words made me burst into laughter.

I was just kidding.

Those experiences are personal; as long as we each know the joy they bring, that's all that matters.

Ernest had breakfast delivered, and Fanny joined me for a few bites, but her heart clearly wasn't in it.

How could she eat when her loved one had flown far away?

I didn't push her, and frankly, I wasn't much hungrier either.
