No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 858

Fanny had been to Sinclair's apartment before. It was a spacious loft he had purchased before heading abroad, a decision she had helped him make.

She had always said she liked this kind of place; it made her feel relaxed and at ease.

Sinclair had listened to her, even letting her choose the interior decor.

But now, standing there, the place felt strangely unfamiliar.

"Do you remember your room?" Sinclair's deep voice pulled her from her thoughts.

Fanny pressed her lips together, glancing towards the far left room with the large bay window. That was the master bedroom, belonging to the owner of the house. Yet, in her youthful arrogance, she had claimed it for herself.

Sinclair hadn't hesitated to agree.

Looking back now, she wished she could turn back time and erase her presumptuousness. Standing there now, she felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her.

"I've forgotten. Show me," Sinclair said, picking up her suitcase and heading towards the master bedroom.

But Fanny stopped him. "Uncle."

Sinclair's eyes, calm like a lake, found hers. Fanny swallowed. "Uncle, I'll stay in the guest room."

"There is no guest room," Sinclair replied simply, leaving Fanny momentarily speechless.

He wasn't teasing her; he was just stating a fact. His place was never intended to accommodate guests, except for her.

So this expansive loft had just two bedrooms: one for her, one for him.

Fanny took a deep breath. "Uncle, it's not right for me to stay in that room. I'll take the other one."

"The other room is where I've been staying. Are you sure you want to?" Sinclair said, setting her suitcase down. "If you don't believe me, come see."

Though it seemed unnecessary to inspect a man's room, curiosity got the better of her, and she followed him.
