No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 730

Sugar Daddy?!

Ernest’s joke made me laugh. It was a rare glimpse into his humorous side. Though it was just a joke, it was unexpected to encounter such a concept in life. Life is unpredictable; no one knows what the future holds. We are all dark horses, with our past not yet cemented.

Ernest was recovering, Deborah was recovering, and I didn’t have the energy to care for both. So, I arranged for nurses for them. Ernest flat-out refused. He claimed he was perfectly capable of moving around and taking care of himself, insisting he didn’t need any help. I knew he wasn’t comfortable with strangers around, but his refusal also meant I couldn’t be there for him. Men can be just as complicated as women, sometimes even more.

Surprisingly, he seemed to be getting clingy, showing a vulnerable side I rarely saw. “I’m going to check on Susie. She must be heartbroken after finding out Mack’s real intentions,” I tried to comfort him. “She’s grown up; she can handle her emotional issues. If a guy can knock her down, she’s way too fragile,” Ernest’s words had a double meaning. He was speaking about Susie, but also about me.

At that moment, we were squeezed together on a small hospital bed, my foot playfully entwined with his. “After surviving your abandonment and the trials of life and death, I must be pretty strong, right?” He gently kissed my hand, “Yeah, my Licia, the invincible little monster.” “Monster? Why am I a monster now?” I protested, slightly annoyed.
