Chapter 94
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 94<\/p>\n
Hearing Noah Jefferson says “I will see you later” makes me scared.<\/p>\n
“Why?”<\/p>\n
Frances Louis sits aside and looks at me smilingly.<\/p>\n
He definitely knows why! He asks me on purpose to make fun of me.<\/p>\n
“No reason. I just want to go home. Since I am all right now I\u2019d better go home.”<\/p>\n
“Home.”<\/p>\n
Frances Louis murmurs. He looks at me deeply and nods.<\/p>\n
Soon, Frances Louis completes the discharge formalities for me.<\/p>\n
Noah Jefferson doesn\u2019t show up before I leave. I feel so relieved.<\/p>\n
Frances Louis’s mood is uncertain and difficult to guess, so I dare not challenge his patience.<\/p>\n
When I get home and see the kitchen, I am still scared.<\/p>\n
“From now on, no more entering the kitchen.”<\/p>\n
Frances Louis says lightly.<\/p>\n
“Then what do I eat? Takeaway? Or you cook for me?”<\/p>\n
I roll my eyes to Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just an accident, not a big deal. He can\u2019t be so extreme as to ban me from the kitchen!<\/p>\n
He doesn’t care because he can eat outside, but I’m in debt. If I don’t save money, how can I be free soon?<\/p>\n
“You have two choices. Eat out with me or I ask Betty to come back to cook.”<\/p>\n
Betty? Is that housekeeper I met with on my first visit to his house?<\/p>\n
Without thinking, I say to him, “I choose the second.”<\/p>\n
“Betty doesn’t cook very well.” He glances at me and says light.<\/p>\n
I think Frances Louis may be out of mind.<\/p>\n
He is rich. Why does he employ a servant who doesn\u2019t cook well?<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to ask more questions about his life, so I purse my lips and say, “Although I’m not a noble lady, I have a very selective mouth. If I were to eat out with you, every meal would be expensive and delicious.”<\/p>\n
I have been in close contact with him many times. I should have been used to it. But why is my heart beating so violently?<\/p>\n
I could not even look Frances Louis in the eye.<\/p>\n
“Jane, I have given the order that your brother is no longer held responsible for leaking trade secrets. I was going to spare him, but he hurt you and he should pay for that.”<\/p>\n
Says Frances Louis, stroking my hair gently.<\/p>\n
I am surprised, but it\u2019s reasonable.<\/p>\n
I know this day would come. For what Frank Noyes did, he should take responsibility.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t blame Frances Louis for that.<\/p>\n
In the beginning, I came to Frances Louis to plead for Frank Noyes. Now that the matter has been settled, does that mean I can leave Frances Louis?<\/p>\n
My feelings are suddenly mixed. It\u2019s not as easy as I thought, but a little depressed.<\/p>\n
These days seem like a hopeless dream to me. Fortunately, I can finally wake up now.<\/p>\n
“In that case, Frances Louis,” I say, rising from his arms and turning to stare at him, “let me go.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-118","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
