Chapter 194
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 194<\/p>\n
Nicole looks at Noah with her head tilted for a while. Then, she says in surprise, “It\u2019s you!”<\/p>\n
Then she turns her head, looks at me apologetically and says, “I\u2019m sorry I belittled you at that time. I hope it doesn\u2019t affect your relationship.”<\/p>\n
I stand there, feeling very embarrassed.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t expect Noah would say such a thing at this time.<\/p>\n
If I expose this lie now, he\u2019ll be embarrassed.<\/p>\n
I restrain myself from telling the truth. I just stand there silently. Noah gets out of bed and says to Nicole, “Did you just say you were going to have dinner? I\u2019m hungry, too. Let\u2019s eat together.”<\/p>\n
Did he hear that?<\/p>\n
Did he wake up long ago?<\/p>\n
Or has he not been asleep at all?<\/p>\n
Nicole nods and walks with us in the direction of the restaurant.<\/p>\n
Noah orders the food. He is afraid that I will not be full, so he orders several more dishes. Nicole always says Noah is very considerate and that I have a good fiance.<\/p>\n
I just smile politely but say nothing.<\/p>\n
We eat for a while, and then I see Frances and Whitney coming in from the outside.<\/p>\n
Because I\u2019m facing the door, they also see me as soon as they come in.<\/p>\n
Whitney glances at me, and then disdainfully glances at Noah sitting next to me.<\/p>\n
Frances doesn\u2019t give me a look at all.<\/p>\n
They sit directly at the table next to us.<\/p>\n
I put down my chopsticks, look at Noah seriously and say, “Noah, do your parents know you\u2019re going to marry me? Have you told them about me? Do you think that once they know about me, they will agree with you to marry me?”<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not the point for me. But that\u2019s the only excuse I can think of. In this way, I can be able to gently reject Noah.<\/p>\n
Noah is stunned for a few seconds, then laughs and says to me, “They can\u2019t stop me from marrying you. Even if the whole world is against it, I will be with you, so don\u2019t be worried.”<\/p>\n
Subconsciously, I take a look at Frances. Because his right hand is injured, he can only eat slowly with his left hand. Before, if he wanted to eat an apple, he would ask me to feed him. But he\u2019s not letting Whitney feed him now. Am I so easy to be bullied?<\/p>\n
Frances is eating slowly and elegantly, and he doesn\u2019t seem to hear us.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m doubtful. It\u2019s not Frances\u2019 style.<\/p>\n
Why is Frances\u2019 reaction to Noah so calm? This is totally different from his previous attitude. Is it what Whitney said that make him no longer care about me?<\/p>\n
I feel a little sad. I look at Noah and force a smile, “Don\u2019t say that. As long as your parents don\u2019t agree with you to marry me, there is no future between us.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-218","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/218","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=218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
