Chapter 211
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 211<\/p>\n
I want to call him, but I don\u2019t know what I can say to him concerning our relationship. I need time to collect my thoughts.<\/p>\n
He sees me too, surprised for two seconds, and then walks towards me.<\/p>\n
\u201cJane, haven\u2019t seen you for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
He smiles at me but looks very tired.<\/p>\n
Actually it\u2019s not a long time, because we saw each other just a few days ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you looking for a job here?\u201d I ask him.<\/p>\n
Startled for a moment, he immediately shakes his head, \u201cNo. I\u2019m recruiting for the school. The school needs new teachers, so I\u2019m asked to post job information here.\u201d<\/p>\n
His pretense makes me feel sad.<\/p>\n
Maybe he doesn\u2019t want me to worry him or feel guilty so he lies to me. But I already know the truth.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mother has told me that you lost your job.\u201d saying in an upset voice, I look at him with guilt, \u201cI\u2019m sorry. If it\u2019s not for me, you won\u2019t be reduced to such a situation by Frances.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLost my job?\u201d Noah looks at me in surprise and shakes his head for denying, \u201cI didn\u2019t lose my job. Actually I quit on my own and intend to find a new job. Originally, I didn\u2019t want to let you know it before I really become somebody, but I didn\u2019t expect I would meet you here.\u201d<\/p>\n
He quit his job?<\/p>\n
He\u2019s not like telling a lie. So maybe I misunderstood Frances? He didn\u2019t do anything to Noah, but it is my presumption that made me blamed him directly?<\/p>\n
At this moment, I feel great pain in my heart.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know why, somehow I feel there is someone spying on me, but when I look around, I don\u2019t find anyone suspicious.<\/p>\n
Is it my delusion? Is it because pregnant women are more likely to be suspicious?<\/p>\n
I stop the messy thoughts in my mind and manage a smile at Noah, \u201cBut you are doing well in your job as a teacher, why did you suddenly quit?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause a nine-to-five job with stable salary won\u2019t allow me to give you a bright future. Jane, if I have enough money and power, I must be able to take you away from Frances. So, you must wait for me, and I\u2019ll work hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
I remember I was totally pissed off that day so I seemed to have cursed him viciously.<\/p>\n
\u201cStop.\u201d<\/p>\n
A deep voice from Frances is heard behind.<\/p>\n
I know I\u2019m nearly no different from a ridiculous coward when I deny him nothing, but I stand still involuntarily as he told.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
I look back at him, trying to behave as calm as I can.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you go to see Noah again?\u201d he asks blandly.<\/p>\n
Startled for a while, I look at him with fear and mumble, \u201cHow do you know?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-235","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/235","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=235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
