No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 731

It appeared to be yet another mystery, and the less I knew, the better off I'd be.

Ernest gently kissed my forehead, saying, "Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to me because... my little monster needs me."

Little monster?!

What an adorable nickname. I immediately changed my social media handle to that.

Jefferson was the first to notice and sent me a message right away: "Who are we targeting?"

Monsters aren't about targeting anyone; they're about standing their ground.

I hadn't heard from him in a while, especially since he returned from Houston. The last I heard, he had sold his pool hall, but his current activities were a mystery to me.

I knew how tough things were in Houston, so his decision didn't surprise me.

"Fight the demons!" I replied to Jefferson with those three words.

He sent another message: "How've you been lately?"

If he'd been following the online updates, he would have known. His question indicated he hadn't been.

Me: "Not bad!"

Jefferson: "Felicia, I'm sorry. I've owed you those words."

Reading his message, I paused in thought, then he sent another: "For causing you to lose Ernest."

He believed it was all his fault, unaware that he was merely a pawn in someone else's scheme.

Me: "You did nothing wrong. It was fate, and perhaps it's for the best."

I had no idea what Jefferson was doing these days, but I sensed he had distanced himself from the chaos. Otherwise, he'd be up to date on my situation.

So, I decided not to burden him further. As for Ernest being alive, that was something I couldn't disclose.
