No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 856

It was early evening.

As Fanny clocked out from her shift at the clinic, she couldn't help but notice the excited chatter among the nurses. Being the head of the department, her curiosity got the better of her. "What's going on, ladies?" she asked with a playful grin.

"Dr. Willis, there's a ridiculously handsome guy outside," one of the nurses replied, eyes wide with admiration.

Just like how a shot of espresso could jolt you awake, a good-looking man had the power to make dopamine levels soar among women.

"Well, no matter how handsome he is, if you don’t make a move, he’s still someone else’s catch," Fanny teased, encouragingly.

By day, Fanny was the no-nonsense head of the department, but once she clocked out, she was just another fun-loving woman ready to unwind like everyone else.

After all, after a long day, a little banter and laughter never hurt anyone.

"So, are we making a move or what?" The group giggled their way out of the hospital entrance, and that’s when Fanny spotted the man they were all talking about.

In the glow of the setting sun, Sinclair stood there in his sleek black overcoat, a tailored suit underneath, and a crisp white shirt peeking through. The evening light highlighted his sharp features, making him look both regal and striking.

Fanny had seen her fair share of handsome men—like Conrad Ernest and Yates—each one an epitome of male perfection. Yet, Sinclair had a certain allure that made even her heart skip a beat.

She quickly realized who the handsome stranger was. Of course, it was her charming uncle.

Back in school, her classmates had all been smitten with her uncle, each hoping to become his future partner, buttering Fanny up in the process.

Sinclair was truly something else.

"Uncle Sinclair!" Fanny called out, a hint of mischief in her voice. "Aren't you being a bit too showy waiting out here like this?"

Turning her head, she saw the nurses staring at her in disbelief, probably thinking she was making her move after all.

"Got it," Fanny agreed readily, knowing it was better to play along than risk further embarrassment.

"Have fun on your date, Dr. Willis," they called out as they walked away, still giggling.

Great, now Sinclair would definitely get the wrong idea.

Fanny felt her cheeks flush. She nervously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, trying to think of a way to clear the air, when Sinclair spoke up, "Let's go. First, we'll move your things, and then we can see what else you need. I’ll take you shopping after."

He spoke to her as if she were still a child, and it made her smile.

She nodded and followed him to the car, asking, "Are my parents really waiting at your place?"

"And if I said no, would you refuse to move?" Sinclair shot back, always able to see right through her little schemes.
