Chapter 161
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 161<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what the look on Noah\u2019s face is right now.<\/p>\n
Shock? Contempt? Helplessness? Or something else.<\/p>\n
His complex look traps me in such an awkward situation that I barely can stand it.<\/p>\n
What is happening is still too much for me to take in despite the fact that I knew he would be violently stirred if he was told so.<\/p>\n
But I know I have to speak up about it.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, it would be too unfair to him.<\/p>\n
Noah gazes at me for a long time before he finally stands up and says awkwardly, \u201cI have things to do, and I\u2019m afraid I have to take my leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
In my heart, a slight bitterness spreads.<\/p>\n
As expected, this is too much for Noah to accept me.<\/p>\n
I even thought if he was really willing to have the present me, I would like to live an ordinary and simple life with him after leaving Frances.<\/p>\n
It is definitely unfair to him, but if so, at least I\u2019ll lead a happy life for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n
After he left, I got to know that he even didn\u2019t pay the bill.<\/p>\n
Anyway, it doesn\u2019t matter anymore.<\/p>\n
Having paid my bill, I go out and look around, finding that the car that followed me is gone now.<\/p>\n
So the car may have left here.<\/p>\n
But what puzzles me is who on earth is following me.<\/p>\n
I come back home and find Frances is out. It\u2019s already past eight o\u2019clock. But I feel hungry now.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t eat anything in the restaurant.<\/p>\n
Frances has set it as a rule that I\u2019m not allowed to go to the kitchen. But this is a place where no restaurants would like to deliver take-out here. Can\u2019t I just do something to get rid of my hunger?<\/p>\n
Suddenly, the phone rings. It is a call from Frances.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mom will come here today. You definitely would like to have a dinner with her.\u201d<\/p>\n
His mother?<\/p>\n
I immediately get nervous, having the feeling of meeting my boyfriend\u2019s parents in a formal occasion. But why I\u2019m the one to meet his mother. It should be Whitney.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have twenty minutes to get yourself ready. I\u2019ll pick you soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
He hung up before I had a chance to reject him. I have no choice but to do as he told. I change into clothes that look appropriate and decent and do a little makeup, waiting for Frances at home.<\/p>\n
Soon, a sound of car engine shutting off is heard outside the door.<\/p>\n
She knows me?<\/p>\n
Maybe Frances has told her about me.<\/p>\n
I nod and look at Frances with unease, really having no idea on how to continue the conversation.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou look like a good girl.\u201d his mother continues and wears a gentle smile.<\/p>\n
Good girl?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m his son\u2019s mistress. How can someone like me be good girl?<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t bear such a compliment.<\/p>\n
I force a smile and reply, \u201cMrs Louis, you should know my relationship with Frances. I don\u2019t deserve \u201ca good girl\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n
She shakes her head for denying and says, \u201cI say you are, then you are a good girl. I trust Frances\u2019s taste.\u201d<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t argue with her anymore, just smiling at her awkwardly.<\/p>\n
Before food is served, Frances gets up and goes to the bathroom.<\/p>\n
As soon as he left, his mother\u2019s graceful and proper smile freezes on her face.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough you are a good girl, I need you to leave my Frances.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-185","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/185","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=185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
