How can this be real?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Louis, that was a joke, why take it for real?\u201d I smile but feel bitter within me.<\/p>\n<p>Frances always does things according to his own will and never asks if I am willing to. But doesn\u2019t he think that it is a huge joke to marry me?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very serious.\u201d The man says solemnly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSerious?\u201d I scoff and look at Frances, \u201cThen what are you doing now? Are you proposing or forcing me? You don\u2019t even know the size of my finger. How serious can you be?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I shake the ring on my finger and hang my hand downwards. The ring starts to slide down my finger and falls once again onto the ground. Except for this time, it rolls towards a nearby trashcan.<\/p>\n<p>In my eyes, this ring is no different from the trash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve lost weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I am not sure if I am mistaken but the way Frances looks at me shows his heartache for me. Of course, I lost weight. I have always been slim and after losing 5 kg, I\u2019m practically all skin and bones. And this man in front of me is the cause of all my weight loss. It is he who ruthlessly killed my child, that is why I am in this sorry state!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrances, you don\u2019t have to act in front of me. Although I don\u2019t know what your motives are, you really don\u2019t have to do it because I hate you to the bone. Even in death, I will never get married to you.\u201d I look at the man in front of me with a grin while the fury rages within me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJane, what the hell do you want!\u201d Frances raises his voice and he is unable to conceal his anger.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s angry? Does he have the right to get angry?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve already said, I want you to die. Die in front of me if you have the guts to. Otherwise, don\u2019t bother me again!\u201d After saying coldly to Frances, I proceed to walk upstairs.<\/p>\n<p>Behind me, Frances says in certainty, \u201cJane, you can\u2019t escape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Someone walks in through the entrance and towards Whitney. He picks up the child into his embrace and appeases the child. That person is Lawrence! From the looks of it, Whitney must be bringing the child to meet Lawrence as a family.<\/p>\n<p>I nervously shift my position to get a better view of what\u2019s happening over there. I am the one who catches them in the act so why should I be the one who feels guilty?<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence speaks tenderly to Whitney and she is indifferent towards him. She maintains expressionless.<\/p>\n<p>I drink my coffee as I occasionally peek in that direction.<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, I feel the table tremble violently and the coffee in the cup starts to ripple. The people start to panic and everyone starts to run outside. They shout as they run out, \u201cEarthquake!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence holds onto Whitney\u2019s hand and runs out with her. I also grab my bag and run outside.<\/p>\n<p>I unconsciously look in the direction where Whitney sat and saw that the pram is still there and the child is still inside it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-297","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/297","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=297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
