I don&#8217;t wear women&#8217;s clothing, so I am giving it to you.\u201d He said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>What else can I say? Fortunately, I don\u2019t want to say what I am thinking. Otherwise, I will be laughed at by him for over-thinking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have clothes, so I don&#8217;t need to wear the expensive ones. Anyway, fancy clothes only match a fancy person.\u201d I hand the clothes back to him, muttering.<\/p>\n<p>Then I get up, take the clothes I dried, and walk to the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>He grabs my clothes and throws them directly into the trash can.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy do you wear wet clothes?

That one is a gift!\u201d I say.<\/p>\n<p>Frances\u2019 face suddenly becomes gloomy again.<\/p>\n<p>For fear that he might throw away this dress, I would have no clothes to wear. I pick up the clothes and walk towards the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>The clothes really fit me as if they were made for me. I can&#8217;t help but wonder, is it really a gift from Herman?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s go out and eat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I whisper softly, not knowing whether I am talking to him or asking myself.<\/p>\n<p>There is no answer from him. Hearing his sound breath, he probably already falls asleep.<\/p>\n<p>Without saying anything, I close my eyes, ready to fall asleep.<\/p>\n<p>In a daze, I hear Frances saying, \u201cShall we live a lifetime like this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It wakes me up.<\/p>\n<p>But I know that it is not for me.<\/p>\n<p>He is still married. And vowing for a lifetime is absolutely impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Over-thinking once or twice may be fine but doing it for too many times make me look stupid.<\/p>\n<p>There is no future between you and Frances, Jane.<\/p>\n<p>I remind myself time after time, finally letting my heart cold down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-177","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/177","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=177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
