No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 762

But all I could see was his silhouette against the moonlight. The moon was bright, casting his familiar outline in a clear, almost tangible way. Yet, he seemed so distant.

"Conrad, thank you," I whispered to his retreating back. Without his help, I wouldn't have been able to get close to Mrs. Clark so smoothly. Perhaps her prompt agreement was partly due to him, too. In moments and places I wasn't aware of, he was quietly supporting me. Perhaps, this was his way of showing his love, the best he could offer.

In that instant, under the moon's gentle glow, I found my peace. Letting go of ten years with Conrad...

They say a breakup feeds your youth to the dogs, but not for me.

Back in my room, instead of sleeping, I took a picture of the moon and posted it on social media with a single word: "Let go."

Fanny liked it within seconds and messaged me: "What are you letting go of?"

"Just the past," I replied instantly. Then I texted her: "Aren't you asleep yet? Just finished a surgery?"

Fanny responded, "Night shift." She attached a photo of a newborn baby and a note: "Baby number 1385." That four-digit number was a testament to her career and accomplishments.

Looking at the baby's photo, a sudden urge to have one of my own welled up inside me. So, I closed the chat with Fanny and drafted a message to Ernest: "Come back. Let's have a baby."

But my message went unanswered, sinking like a stone in a deep sea. Even though I knew he wouldn't reply, the silence was disappointing. I wished he would say, "Wait for me."

Fanny had sent several messages, and seeing I hadn't replied, she finally sent a sticker: "Fell asleep?"
