Chapter 241
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 241<\/p>\n
Whitney doesn\u2019t need to hide her belly, but I am still carrying a secret.<\/p>\n
A few days later, Steven tells me that it has been arranged for me to leave Virginia.<\/p>\n
I can leave whenever I want to.<\/p>\n
A long delay may cause trouble, so I book a ticket to leave on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
When Steven hands the ticket to me, he asks, \u201cAre you sure about this?\u201d<\/p>\n
I suddenly pause.<\/p>\n
My heart is painful when I think of Frances.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve made the decision, and I\u2019m prepared. However, I am still concerned about him.<\/p>\n
Will I miss him after I leave? Will he remember me? Will he reconcile with Whitney, or will he hook up with other women?<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to talk about distressing things, so I force a smile and ask Steven, \u201cYou said you will look into my parents\u2019 accident. How\u2019s it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven frowns and says, \u201cI\u2019ve been investigating. However, every time I find some clues, someone in the dark will stop me. Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll work on it. And I\u2019ll let you know if I find anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
I nod. Somehow I feel relieved.<\/p>\n
Perhaps, it\u2019s better to find nothing.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a little afraid of hearing the truth. I am afraid that Frances did it. If it\u2019s true, how can I face him? Perhaps I won\u2019t be able to love him by then.<\/p>\n
I carefully put the ticket in my wallet and go home.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m leaving the morning after tomorrow, so I resign. If Silvia asks, I\u2019ll tell her that I am on an annual leave.<\/p>\n
As for Frances, he\u2019s not at home during the day, so I don\u2019t have to worry at all. Even if he is at home, he might not care whether I go to work or not.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what I think. However, in the evening, Frances goes straight to my room when he returns home.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou resigned?\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances lies down on my bed, which puts an end to the cold war between us.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to stand in a stalemate with him before I leave.<\/p>\n
I hope that our last days are worth remembering.<\/p>\n
However, how long will he be away for business? Does it mean that I can\u2019t see him before I leave?<\/p>\n
\u201cWake me up in an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances closes his eyes and says tiredly.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright.\u201d I nod and lie down beside him.<\/p>\n
After taking a deep breath, I pluck up my courage and put my arms around his waist.<\/p>\n
He freezes, and then he opens his eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-265","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/265","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=265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
