Chapter 248
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 248<\/p>\n
Steven doesn\u2019t try to avert suspicion, following me into my room. Mom and Dad stand at the door and give me an encouraging wink, beckoning me to seduce Steven.<\/p>\n
What are they thinking about? How can I seduce Steven as a pregnant woman? Moreover, there is no chemistry between us.<\/p>\n
Steven sits down on the bed, fixing his eyes on me. It seems that he has something to say.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpeak out.\u201d I say indifferently.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrances is driving me crazy.\u201d Steven sighs and then continues, \u201cYou know what? He has been stalking me almost every day for the past few months. I guess he does this to find you. It took me a lot of effort today to finally get rid of him. If he continues like this, he will find you sooner or later.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have already paid off my debt. Why is he so persistent?\u201d I say helplessly, smiling bitterly.<\/p>\n
The first time Steven came, he told me that when he gave the card to Frances, Frances turned grim with a cloudy face. When he walked out of Frances\u2019 office, he could hear Frances smashing things from afar.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if he cares about you?\u201d Steven stares at me and says seriously.<\/p>\n
I shake my head firmly and say, \u201cImpossible. Stop spouting nonsense. How could he care about me? He just can\u2019t accept that I\u2019ve fooled him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances is very proud, and he has to be the one who dumps instead of being dumped. How could he accept that I left without telling him? It\u2019s humiliating to a man like him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hear that he has been trying to divorce Whitney, but old Mr. Louis doesn\u2019t agree because Whitney is pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n
I nod with indifference.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s none of my business if he divorces Whitney or not. I\u2019ve got rid of them in my life, and I\u2019m not involved with them anymore.<\/p>\n
However, I am not worthy of him at all. I\u2019m a divorced woman who used to be a home wrecker, and now I\u2019m having an illegitimate baby.<\/p>\n
\u201cSteven, I\u2019m not worthy of you. There are so many good women around you, and you don\u2019t need to waste…\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s up to me to decide if you are worthy or not. Your opinion doesn\u2019t count. Jane, don\u2019t underrate yourself. You\u2019re a thousand times better than you think. You deserve a man who is willing to doing anything for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven turns to look at me with the familiar affection in his eyes.<\/p>\n
Then he leaves the room, not giving me the chance to reject him.<\/p>\n
When he accompanies me to the pregnancy check-up the next morning, he is peaceful as if nothing has happened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-272","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/272","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=272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
