True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1516

At that very moment, Leah's heart was filled with an indescribable sense of nervousness.

Her itching heart that had been looking forward to his texts finally settled and calmed down.

He probably wanted to send her a message but was unsure of what to say.

She just happened to catch him in the act. She expected his message, but after a while, her phone did not ring with a notification.

Fifteen minutes had passed. Leah did not take her eyes off the dialogue box. It repeatedly popped out before finally coming to a halt.

She threw her phone on her bed and slumped onto the bed, puffed up, "Ernest, you're such a jerk. Would it kill you to send a message?"

Leah was infuriated.

Ernest was such a sc*mbag. He hooked her up, but then he disappeared without a trace.

Leah stared at his chatbox, feeling annoyed.

She hesitated, planning something that would get a reaction out of Ernest.

However, she couldn't think of anything, so she felt anxious.

Ernest had initially wanted to send Leah a message, but he didn't know what he should say, so he put his phone down.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided against sending Leah a message and proceeded to eavesdrop on Maria's call after placing his phone aside.

He expected Maria to be calling Leah, but he overheard Liam's voice.

Huh.

He thought that Maria was calling Leah. It turned out it was actually Liam.

That girl was the ultimate definition of one prioritising love over friendship. Ernest chuckled and shook his head, returning to his room to take a shower.

After he emerged from the shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes, he noticed a notification on his phone. It was a message from Leah.

He had his eyes narrowed, the corners of his lips curled up into a smile.

He tapped on the message. Her words had Ernest's eyes widened in shock, the tips of his ears instantly reddening.

Leah's face flashed across his mind. She was smart, cunning, and unique.

Leah was different from other girls.

When he read the message, Ernest once again deeply felt that Leah was indeed an odd girl.

She asked a question.

"Ernest, I have a question for you. You must answer it. It's important for my writing."

"You see, the thing is when you have a wet dream with a bunch of girls, do you have to wash your boxers in the morning when you wake up?"

"Of course, I think it's a totally normal biological phenomenon. Don't be shy and answer my question honestly to satisfy my curiosity, alright?"

He looked at the message. It was sent fifteen minutes ago. It must have happened after he put his phone down earlier.

He pondered for a moment before replying with one word, "Yes."

Leah received a response. She saw the word "Yes" and was instantly furious.

She continued to type and delete her messages repeatedly.

At that moment, Ernest sent another message.

"There's only one girl, not a bunch of them."

Leah took a look at the message and replied, "Then you're indeed innocent. There's only one girl in your dreams. Is the girl beautiful?

Ernest gripped his phone, his fingers hovering over the screen as he softly typed a sentence, "She's similar to you."

Leah pouted. Ha, he actually had a woman he liked and would even dream about her.

Feeling a little depressed, she put her phone aside.

Ernest had been anticipating her message for quite a while, but the message never came. He was a little anxious. Would she have misunderstood?

Feeling unsettled, Ernest responded by sending another message, "Leah, have you been well recently?"

Leah received the message and replied in a dull tone, "No, I'm not doing well."

"What's wrong?"

Ernest sent the text.

Leah replied, "Ha-ha, it's just about my book. I'm so stressed to the point that I'm losing hair. Sometimes, I lack inspiration and have writer's block. It's nothing. What about you? Have you been well? Have you fallen in love? Did you confess to the girl you like?"

Seeing that message, Ernest cracked into a helpless smile.

Maria felt a chill running down her spine, "Can you stop being so gory?"

"There's nothing I can do. I'm already in love and can't restrain myself. Please bear with me," Leah voiced out without holding back.

Maria burst into laughter, "Well, that settles it. Wait for my news."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Maria opened the door and walked out of Gary's room.

She thought about the phone call she had just made with Liam and Leah. A slight giggle escaped her lips.

She stood in front of Ernest's room, knocking on the door as she shouted, "Ernest, let's go downstairs to have dinner. I'm so hungry. My stomach is growling."

Ernest opened the door and glanced at her, "Did you call Liam?"

Maria lifted her eyebrows and smiled, "Yes, how did you know? You weren't eavesdropping on me, were you?"

Ernest was stunned by her question before his face changed drastically as he refuted, "Is there any need to eavesdrop? Your voice was so loud. I could hear it across the room."

"Is that true?" Maria smiled cunningly, "I thought you eavesdropped on me and Leah."

A slight embarrassment flashed across his face before he replied in a low voice, "You're overthinking."

"Well, I first called Liam, then called Leah." Maria deliberately explained.

Ernest was dumbfounded.

It turned out that Maria and Leah did have a call.

No wonder she hadn't replied.

"I asked her about her boyfriend." After saying that, Maria paused to take a look at Ernest's expression with a playful look on her face.

Ernest was waiting for Maria to continue, but she did not say another word.

He frowned and asked, "What happened to the rest?"

Maria found it funny that Ernest pretended to be calm even though he was obviously anxious.

"Then I came to knock on your door."

She was playing dumb, deliberately not answering the question, so that Ernest would feel anxious.
