I come here for gathering information about Frances, so it\u2019s hard to be not concerned.\u201d after explaining I continue to ask, \u201cWhy do you think they want a divorce?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no idea. It\u2019s said that Whitney cheated on him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cheating?<\/p>\n<p>I immediately think of the relationship between Whitney and Lawrence, even Whitney\u2019s child is Lawrence\u2019s. Could it be that Frances knew about this?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCheating? With whom?\u201d though it\u2019s clear in my mind I still ask for sure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d Steven shakes his head, \u201cI heard that she keeps a D-list young model as her lover, but we still don\u2019t know who the model is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steven\u2019s words shock me a bit.<\/p>\n<p>How is it possible that Whitney keeps a young man as her lover?<\/p>\n<p>She has deeply and crazily loved Frances. How could she have affairs with other men. Even her pregnancy of Lawrence\u2019s child was an accident. My intuition tells me that Whitney would never keep a lover.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think so.\u201d I say to Steven.<\/p>\n<p>He laughs and replies quietly, \u201cEverything is possible. It\u2019s quite common for men to keep mistress. It\u2019s also possible to happen to women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut this woman is Whitney, so it\u2019s impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When I say this, an idea suddenly enlightens me, and then I feel numbness in my back.<\/p>\n<p>In the following days, Andrew doesn\u2019t bother me again.<\/p>\n<p>I, on the other hand, am always hearing news about Frances, intentionally or accidentally. For several days, everyone\u2019s sayings haven\u2019t changed much.<\/p>\n<p>Frances wants to divorce but Whitney won\u2019t allow it, nor do Frances\u2019s families. But the situation is more favorable to Frances because of Whitney\u2019s unfaithfulness.<\/p>\n<p>As I gather pieces of news about Frances these days, I find that I really can\u2019t discover any of his weaknesses, which makes me desperate.<\/p>\n<p>Is it that only his child would be his soft spot? But how can I reach my hand to a child?<\/p>\n<p>On this day, I accidentally notice one thing as I am flipping through the calendar on my phone.<\/p>\n<p>Today is Frances\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-284","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/284","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=284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
