Chapter 268
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 268<\/p>\n
In fact, I just want to frighten him, so I called to police to frighten him away. But I didn\u2019t expect that he would wait here for the policemen.<\/p>\n
But I won\u2019t explain for him to the policemen, or I\u2019ll become the one who plays the policemen around. I should leave the judgment to the policemen of what kind of person he is.<\/p>\n
And finally this night passes without a hitch. But I know that the peace will not last long.<\/p>\n
The work at the bar reverses my life routine, working at night and sleeping at daytime. I\u2019m still sleeping at noon.<\/p>\n
But there comes a hurry and sharp knock at the door.<\/p>\n
I wake up with a startle and have no desire to sleep at all.<\/p>\n
Only Steven knows where I live. If anyone else, Frances followed me to the building in which I live last night, so it would not be hard for him to find out the floor I live on.<\/p>\n
My first thought is that it should be Frances. But the house I rent has no peephole in the door, so for the sake of security I ask, \u201cWho is it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s me, Whitney.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whitney?<\/p>\n
How does she know my place? Is it Frances that told her? And what does she come here for?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m shocked and not sure whether to open the door or not.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease open the door. I want to talk to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
She says in a low voice.<\/p>\n
And now I realize that she sounds hoarse. She cried?<\/p>\n
As a woman, I feel sympathetic towards her.<\/p>\n
I have a great sympathy for her but I also feel she is very pathetic.<\/p>\n
Even though she has been driven into a corner, what is the use of her asking me for help if Frances insists to divorce her?<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Louis, you are asking the wrong person. I have nothing to do with Frances since I ended our relationship long time ago. So I really can\u2019t help you.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, she shakes her head vigorously and insists, \u201cYes, you can help me. And only you can help me. He only listens to you. I can\u2019t lose him, absolutely not!\u201d<\/p>\n
In fear that she would go crazy and be out of control, I get her up with an immense effort and take her in, pouring her a glass of water.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you tell me why Frances want to divorce you? Is it because he found out that your child is actually\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t finish it but doubtlessly she knows what I mean.<\/p>\n
She shakes her head, and says, \u201cNo. He has wanted a divorce since the day when we got married. But I know he loves me. Perhaps he just hates the arranged marriage by his family so he insists to get a divorce. I\u2019m sure he must love me. Even not for me, just for the sake of our child, he won\u2019t divorce me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-292","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/292","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=292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
