Chapter 172
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 172<\/p>\n
Walking out from the bar, the car that stops at the opposite never leaves.<\/p>\n
Lawrence asks me not to worry therefore I\u2019m not worry anymore and heads back home.<\/p>\n
Frances isn\u2019t back home yet but surprisingly, old Mr. Louis is at home.<\/p>\n
Of course, I do have high respect on elderly.<\/p>\n
I walk towards him and greets, \u201cGood evening, old Mr. Louis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Old Mr. Louis nods his head and looks me up and down, \u201cAre you doing okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
I look at him with doubt, wondering what he is trying to say.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease clean up any room for me, I will live here for quite some time.\u201d<\/p>\n
He is Frances\u2019s grandfather. He wants to live here, obviously I have no rights to reject.<\/p>\n
I quickly clean up and make up a bed for him. When I finish and walk out from the room, Frances just comes back from outside.<\/p>\n
\u201cold Mr. Louis, your bed is ready. Please have a look if there\u2019s anything that you\u2019re not satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhose bed is ready? Do you want to live here?\u201d Frances asks.<\/p>\n
He lifts his eyes and sweep lightly at old Mr. Louis. It seems like he doesn\u2019t want him to live here at all.<\/p>\n
I believe that there is something going on between them, so I just sit aside quietly.<\/p>\n
\u201cKid, if I have not asked Betty, I wouldn\u2019t know that you have moved to somewhere else. It\u2019s fine that you hide yourself away from Whitney, but why don\u2019t you tell me the address?\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances starts pouting and sits on the sofa, two legs lazily overlapping each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think too much, I\u2019m not hiding myself away from Whitney. I\u2019m hiding away from you. Don\u2019t you know that I hate you more than Whitney?\u201d<\/p>\n
I literally stare at old Mr. Louis the whole time, hoping that he would speak out the secret. Who knows, he doesn\u2019t seem like he is going to say anything.<\/p>\n
Curiosity is aroused. It does feel suffering to wanting to know what the secret is.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, which room would you prefer? Second floor facing towards the north seems brighter and spacious, I think it\u2019s quite suitable for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances\u2019s expression is gloomy in the beginning and he slowly smiles faintly the next minute.<\/p>\n
Although he seems reluctant, but that instant change of attitude seems very shocking.<\/p>\n
I never see Frances behaving like this, I start to wonder what is his secret which makes his attitude becomes so good all sudden?<\/p>\n
If only I know, perhaps I could use it to threaten him next time?<\/p>\n
I think, I should really take good care of old Mr. Louis during his stay. I must maintain a good relationship with him, maybe he will tell me Frances\u2019s secret when he\u2019s in good mood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-196","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/196","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=196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
