And it\u2019s been too long that I have almost forgotten about it.<\/p>\n<p>My mother\u2019s expression suddenly changes. She avoids my gaze and then says, \u201cIt\u2019s all passed. You don\u2019t need to know about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, as long as she\u2019s fine, I won\u2019t interfere too much.<\/p>\n<p>I help them to pack up the luggage. The next day is weekend, so I send them to the station.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, their returning to the hometown will reduce Frances\u2019 restriction on me. In that case, it might be easier for me to leave him.<\/p>\n<p>At the station, my mother suddenly turns around and asks me, \u201cJane, do you want to go with us?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All of a sudden, I shed tears.<\/p>\n<p>I know she\u2019s worried about me. I don\u2019t know how long it has been since I\u2019ve gotten her attention.<\/p>\n<p>But different from them, I won\u2019t be able to leave unless Frances gets tired of me.<\/p>\n<p>I shake my head and say goodbye to them in tears.<\/p>\n<p>When I walk out of the station, I see Noah. He is talking to a man who seems like a \u201cbig boss\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>When he sees me, he frowns and quickly walks away.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how familiar we were, we are now strangers.<\/p>\n<p>I smile bitterly and take a taxi to go home. After a while, I receive Steven\u2019s call.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJane, come to my home. There\u2019s something I want to tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I hurriedly ask the driver to turn the car around and head towards Steven\u2019s home. When I enter his house, I see him sitting on the sofa with a serious face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you know who is driving the car?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I shake my head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s is Frances\u2019 driver. Is it a coincidence, or&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steven doesn\u2019t finish, but it already chills me.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t imagine it, so I shake my head and say, \u201cIt should be just a coincidence. Although Frances is a bit ruthless, he doesn\u2019t have any grudges with my parents. There\u2019s no reason for him to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No matter how hard I think, I can\u2019t figure out a reason for Frances to do this.<\/p>\n<p>Steven chuckles and says to me, \u201cJane, you\u2019re too naive. Do you really think it was by chance that Frances hooked up with you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-261","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/261","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=261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
