How could she really like me when she knew that I am his son\u2019s mistress and I am a divorced woman in an inferior class with complicated family?<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s good that way. At least we share the same goal.<\/p>\n<p>Before I make a respond, she has already taken a check out of her purse and handed it to me.<\/p>\n<p>It is five million!<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the money that I\u2019ve been dreaming of.<\/p>\n<p>She looks at me with a cold face and says in a deep voice, \u201cHere is five million yuan. I hope you can leave my son. Your relationship is over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I do hesitate for a moment in my mind.<\/p>\n<p>I have to admit I\u2019m kind of sad to leave Frances, and his mother, no doubt, is insulting our feelings with money.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the good thing is that I don\u2019t lose myself in this relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Even if I have feelings for Frances, it would be my own wishful thinking, and now it\u2019s time to cut the love.<\/p>\n<p>And the five million is just the exact amount to relieve me of my immediate needs.<\/p>\n<p>As long as I pay him back, we will be clear from each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks, Mrs Louis. I will leave Frances.\u201d I give her a big smile when I take the check from her.<\/p>\n<p>But my mind is haunted by pathetic feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps not expecting me to accept her offer so quickly, she is clearly stunned. But immediately, a slight contemptuous look can be revealed on her face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHmm, so you have a relationship with my son only for his money. I told him before he shouldn\u2019t have had relationships with complicated women. Every time I have to clear up the mess for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t say anything, sort of acquiescing to what she said.<\/p>\n<p>Frances comes back and his mother returns to her previous graceful posture again.<\/p>\n<p>My mind can\u2019t focus on the meal at all because the thought that what life I should have after paying back Frances occupies my mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, are you staying at my place tonight?\u201d Frances asks his mother during the meal.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t sound like a sincere invitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. I know you are avoiding Whitney Jordan, and I don\u2019t want to add to your attention as a celebrity. I have a gig overseas tomorrow. The flight is twelve. I\u2019ll take a taxi there myself. You take Jane home now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, he covers my lips with his, blocking my rejection in my mouth.<\/p>\n<p>I know he wants me. This is the last night I will stay with him, so I won\u2019t reject him.<\/p>\n<p>And because it\u2019s the last night, some precautions must be taken.<\/p>\n<p>I nudge him slightly and ask gently, \u201cCan you wear a condom?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He pauses a moment and smiles, \u201cI like to have no gaps between us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI bought the ultrathin ones.\u201d I reply with a shy and red face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He has no intention to get up, reaching his hand under me. His touching titillates me.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I still want him to wear a condom.<\/p>\n<p>But soon, I give up and fall in his gentle \u201cattack\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So finally, the condoms I bought so long ago still haven\u2019t been unpacked yet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-186","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/186","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=186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
