And I didn\u2019t expect that he would be woken up by a touch.<\/p>\n<p>God, will he cut off my hand?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGive me your hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He says in a deep voice, and I am more scared.<\/p>\n<p>Damn it. Why did I touch him? Now I am done!<\/p>\n<p>I put my hands behind my back and say resolutely, \u201cNo!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances\u2019 narrowed eyes make me a little scared, so I can\u2019t help shrinking to the side.<\/p>\n<p>The man gets closer, so I can only shrink back a little more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome here.\u201d Frances says with a grim face. A glance at his face makes me feel hard to breathe.<\/p>\n<p>I shrink back again, but I am already at the edge. I am now falling off the bed.<\/p>\n<p>My child! No!<\/p>\n<p>With my first instinct, I stretch one hand to cover my belly and my other hand to catch something desperately.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, I grab something fluffy. And Frances pulls me back to the bed.<\/p>\n<p>I let out a sigh of relief and put the hand off my belly with fear lingering in my heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet go.\u201d Frances squeezes out the words from between his teeth.<\/p>\n<p>I look at him and realize that what I just grabbed is his hair.<\/p>\n<p>Now he will definitely cut off my hand.<\/p>\n<p>Frances slowly approaches me and grabs my hand.<\/p>\n<p>I can feel my heart beating violently and my palms sweating.<\/p>\n<p>However, it seems different from what I thought.<\/p>\n<p>He has a few sets of clothes in my wardrobe, and I never take them away.<\/p>\n<p>But my clothes are all packed up. He will smell a rat if he sees that most of my clothes are gone.<\/p>\n<p>No, I can\u2019t let him open the wardrobe!<\/p>\n<p>I sit up and hurriedly call him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrances!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He turns around and looks at me with confusion.<\/p>\n<p>I force a smile, get out of bed and then say, \u201cAre you going to change your clothes?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He nods and raises his eyebrows to look at me. It seems that he is trying to see through me.<\/p>\n<p>I take two deep breaths and approach him. I pretend to be calm and say, \u201cYou have a dark gray suit, don\u2019t you? I remember seeing you in it once, and I think you looked good in that suit. Why don\u2019t you wear it?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-266","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/266","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=266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
