No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 656



Sinclair's gaze settled on Yates. "I'm staying at the hotel, just wanted to check in on you."

Fanny let out a silent sigh of relief. "Did you book a hotel room yet, Uncle? If not, I could..."

"No need!" Sinclair cut her off. "Both of you, sit. Let's chat."

His tone carried the unmistakable authority of a family elder, even though he was only a year older...

Yates understood the cue and sat down, taking Fanny's hand in his. "Fanny and I are in a serious relationship, with marriage as our goal."

"So, has she agreed to marry you?" Sinclair asked bluntly.

Yates looked at Fanny. "Not yet."

Fanny quickly added, "I've liked him since school. If he proposes, I'll say yes."

Sinclair said nothing, his face a mask of neutrality, but the pressure was tangible.

"Mr. Anderson, please rest assured. Once Fanny agrees, I'll promptly meet with her parents," Yates reassured him.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Fanny could sense Yates's stress. Had she known today would unfold like this, she wouldn't have invited him over. She had only intended to date for now, not think about marriage. Now, it felt like she was pressuring Yates. Yet, he was stepping up, openly declaring his intentions.

Fanny spoke up. "Uncle, you're just a year older than me. Don't be so old-fashioned, okay? Yates and I are simply dating. Marriage and meeting the parents are discussions for another time."

"So, he's not your only option?" Sinclair's question was almost too direct.

Fanny knew better than to make promises she couldn't keep, so she just nodded. She definitely didn't want Sinclair spilling the beans about her and Yates to her mom."Yeah, if he doesn't treat me right, I won't stay with him."

"That won't happen. By choosing Fanny, I intend to make her happy," Yates responded perfectly, indicating he wouldn't give Fanny a reason to leave. Sinclair nodded slightly and stood up. "I'll leave you to it."

His farewell was detached yet polite.

"Uncle, please don't gossip about today's talk. I'll take you out for dinner soon," Fanny added

courteously as he left. Contovel

Sinclair frowned but responded with a simple, "Fine."

After he left, Fanny exhaled deeply and turned to meet Yates's gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that? He really is my uncle," Fanny explained.

"I know. He cares about you a lot," Yates's tone carried an undertone of something more.

Fanny grabbed his hand. "You're not jealous of my uncle, are you?"

"Yeah," Yates surprisingly admitted.

Fanny laughed. "Yates, I didn't know you were so petty... mmm..."

His kiss cut off her words, passionate and intense...

The fervent kiss ignited a deep desire, the kind of mature love that's direct and unambiguous. Although Yates appeared gentle on the

surface, he was entirely different in moments of intimacy.

From the couch to the bathroom and then to the bedroom, Fanny felt enveloped by Yates.

The incident before seemed to thrill him, not to mention the unexpected visit from her uncle.

The primal instinct of possession runs strong in males, whether animal or human.

"Did you come just for me?" After their intense lovemaking, Fanny lay exhausted on Yates's chest.
