I wouldn\u2019t expect to be more than his bedmate..<\/p>\n<p>Even at this moment, even when I start to have feelings for him, it makes me feel suffering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh? Tell me why you feel like you can\u2019t help me at all?\u201d Lawrence Jordan raises his eyebrow and says in laughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you think Frances would like me? Asides from Whitney Jordan\u2019s mental illness, she\u2019s gorgeous, she comes from a rich family, which part of her isn\u2019t better than me? If he doesn\u2019t like this type of woman, I don\u2019t think he would like me of all other women, I won\u2019t even bother to think about it at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From this point, I know myself better than anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Someone like me will never get into Frances\u2019s eye, let alone to get into his heart.<\/p>\n<p>Someday if he comes to look for me, perhaps he\u2019s just bored of pretty women and he just wants to try any simple woman. When he doesn\u2019t feel me interesting anymore, he would dump me as a stranger.<\/p>\n<p>Although this truth makes me suffer a lot, it also keeps me awake at the same time for not making any unforgivable action due to my emotion impulses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, sometimes it\u2019s worth the try, how would you know if you never try?\u201d Lawrence replies confidently.<\/p>\n<p>He has been very stubborn. I don\u2019t want to argue with him. Although he and Whitney are not biological siblings, they have living together for a long time, it is inevitable that they would have same paranoia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, the reason that you come to me is to ask me to snatch Frances away from Whitney, so that you could get Whitney?\u201d I reply while trying to figure out what is in Lawrence\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n<p>He nods his head and replies, \u201cConsider it as an exchange, I will cover up the matter between you and Frances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, the whole idea seems tempting.<\/p>\n<p>Even if he doesn\u2019t say anything, the relationship between Frances and I will not last long.<\/p>\n<p>Just that, I still feel worry about Lawrence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou plan to blatantly snatch Frances\u2019s wife away, have you thought of him as your brother? What if he do to you if he knows?\u201d I ask.<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence laughs confidently and replies, \u201cI never fight a battle that is uncertain. Oh, Frances. I know him better than anyone else. There\u2019s no fun of it if I tell you everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He moves up as he is talking while walking towards at the female singer\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n<p>I just see him flirting with the female singer and holding her waist while heading towards somewhere private.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoesn\u2019t he just say he loves Whitney and now he\u2019s flirting with another woman? Is a man\u2019s love, such superficial?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-195","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/195","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=195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
