Will Frances, who is used to praise, take my flattery?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it will do as long as he doesn\u2019t open my wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p>He is slightly stunned and pauses for a long time before he asks, \u201cDo I look good in it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely. You look gorgeous in that suit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In case that he won\u2019t believe me, I nod repeatedly and then look at him with a sincere look on my face.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps he has taken my flattery. Frances holds his hand back and goes back to his room.<\/p>\n<p>It was so close!<\/p>\n<p>I breathe a sigh of relief and feel like having a spark in my throat.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m too thirsty.<\/p>\n<p>I walk downstairs to get a glass of water. When I pass the living room, I see Frances sitting on the sofa, wearing the dark gray suit I said.<\/p>\n<p>There is a hint of anticipation in his eyes when he looks at me.<\/p>\n<p>Men like to be flattered by others.<\/p>\n<p>I walk to him and look at him with satisfaction. \u201cIt looks like the suit is tailor-made for you. I can\u2019t take my eyes off you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is custom-made.\u201d Frances says indifferently, but I can still tell from his casual tone that he is delighted.<\/p>\n<p>This man is cute sometimes!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s still early. Eat something before you leave. There\u2019s some food in the electric cooker. I\u2019ll make some dishes for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I say softly to him.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps this is the last time I cook for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t want to argue with her, so I keep silent.<\/p>\n<p>After the meal, Frances stands up and walks outside.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney pulls his arm and says coquettishly, \u201cFrances, when will you come back?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe day after tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur baby and I will be waiting for you to come back. Take care of yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitney carefully adjusts his tie. To me, this scene is too glaring.<\/p>\n<p>Their display of affection makes me more like an idiot.<\/p>\n<p>The day after tomorrow, when Frances returns, he will live a happy life with Whitney.<\/p>\n<p>And I will go to another country alone.<\/p>\n<p>Frances changes his shoes and leaves. Whitney\u2019s expression also changes. She says to me with a gloomy face, \u201cDid Frances go to your room just now? What did you say to him? Did you tell him that it\u2019s not his child?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-267","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/267","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=267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
