No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 709

"Man, you're just playing me for a fool."

I continued chewing on the food in my mouth, while playfully lifting his chin with my finger, my lips inching closer to his, "I've already had a piece of you, why would I mind touching you now?"

Phipps looked into my eyes, which deepened in intensity. Before he could make a move, I swiftly pulled away and left the kitchen for the bathroom to wash my hands.

I was enjoying my meal until he decided to annoy me.

But even so, I didn't feel disgusted, not like when Dustin looks at me or speaks, which makes my stomach turn.

Thinking of him, I remembered how forceful he was last night... things are going to be awkward between us from now on. And I can't use him anymore.

Otherwise, I might not find out anything before he completely overpowers me.

And, I'm worried he might go after Phipps, especially after Phipps ruined his plans last night and got on his bad side.

When I finished up in the bathroom, Phipps had already served breakfast, even pouring me some porridge.

"Where are you heading later?" I asked him while sipping my porridge.

"Got something for me to do?" Phipps joined me for breakfast, completely relaxed and composed, even when cooking in the kitchen or when I teased him, showing no signs of panic or unease.

"I'm just worried Dustin won't let you off the hook after last night," I cautioned.

Phipps served me a bite of the side dish, "Try this."

"Aren't you scared, or are you just waiting for him to make a move?" I lost my appetite.

"Even without last night, he wouldn't have let me be," I understood what he meant, he was waiting for Dustin to lose it.

Thinking about what Dustin did in Houston, I couldn't help but say, "He likes to use others to do his dirty work, never getting his hands dirty."

Phipps didn't respond, just looked at me, leaving me puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

He lowered his gaze, saying, "I'll take care of myself."
