He frowns when he sees the breakfast on the dining table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDidn\u2019t I tell that you are not allowed in the kitchen? You disregarded what I said?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why is he so moody so early in the morning?

He frowns and answers the call. After a moment, his expression turns for the better.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t say a word but I can feel that he is in a good mood.<\/p>\n<p>At this moment I realize that I don\u2019t want to leave.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know when Frances started to take root in my heart. These roots are full of thorns that hurt when they grow and hurt even more when they are being pulled out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat should I do? Frances, I think I have fallen for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I grab onto where my heart is and my body begins to slide down. I lean onto the side of the bed and cry bitterly till I lose my voice.<\/p>\n<p>But I have to leave eventually. Frances does not love me. He has his own family. If I remain with him, it will hurt me even more.<\/p>\n<p>After I pack up everything, I place the cheque on the table where Frances will be able to see it once he enters the house.<\/p>\n<p>I also stick a post-it on the cheque with a written message.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrances, this is a cheque for five million yuan which will clear the four million yuan that I owe you. Please transfer the remaining one million yuan to my bank account, ICBC 621xxxxxxxxxx. You don\u2019t need this spare change anyway so please transfer the amount to me as soon as possible. Let\u2019s go our separate ways from now on and never the twain shall meet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After writing this, I look around the house which although the stay is short, it is full of memories. Thereafter I drag my suitcase and leave.<\/p>\n<p>Until Frances gives me the money to buy an apartment, I can only stay outside.<\/p>\n<p>The hotels are too expensive and I decide to stay at a motel.<\/p>\n<p>I am used to Frances\u2019 hug and have difficulty falling asleep when I\u2019m in bed alone. Suddenly, I vaguely hear a knock on the door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-187","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/187","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=187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
