He may never fall in love with me.<\/p>\n<p>My heart hurts so bad that it feels more painful than being stabbed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So what? Like you said, I can manipulate people\u2019s fate at will.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Just then, he glances up and down at me.<\/p>\n<p>He means that he is manipulating me.<\/p>\n<p>It hurts me like hell even though what he says is true.<\/p>\n<p>I look at Frances angrily and roar, &#8220;You will be dying pointless, Frances!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After that, I rush outside. The moment I walk out the door, tears fall.<\/p>\n<p>Old Mr. Louis just comes back from outside. Seeing the tears on my face, he says in surprise. &#8220;What happened? Did that brat bully you again?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I shake my head and go back to my room.<\/p>\n<p>In the next few days, Frances and I are not on speaking terms. I don&#8217;t even understand why this kind of situation can happen to us. I think it would only exist between young couples.<\/p>\n<p>But he never comes to my room in the past few days.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, he is already gone when I get up every day. He isn\u2019t back yet when I go to bed. If it weren&#8217;t for the coughing and the sound of water in the next room in the middle of the night, I would really doubt that Frances is never home.<\/p>\n<p>He is coughing, is he not feeling well?<\/p>\n<p>I am a little worried, but I can\u2019t speak to him first.<\/p>\n<p>Mindy sends me photos of her traveling abroad. Her belly looks a bit obvious, and her face is a lot rounder than before. But the happiness on her face can&#8217;t be hidden. It seems like she\u2019s doing really well with David.<\/p>\n<p>And I also buy some cough syrup for Frances.<\/p>\n<p>Although we are still in a fight, listening to him coughing so badly doesn\u2019t make me happy.<\/p>\n<p>While everyone is out for lunch, I go to the bathroom for the pregnancy test. I follow the instructions for the test.<\/p>\n<p>The few seconds waiting is extremely tormenting for me.<\/p>\n<p>When I see a line appear in the color rendering area, I am obviously relieved.<\/p>\n<p>To rest myself assured, I take another look.<\/p>\n<p>But there is something very wrong after the second glance.<\/p>\n<p>Below the red line, there is a light red line. It looks so light that I didn&#8217;t notice the difference.<\/p>\n<p>So the two lines mean, I am pregnant?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-233","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/233","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=233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
