Chapter 276
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 276<\/p>\n
I really can\u2019t imagine that I am saying this to Frances.<\/p>\n
It feels like I am the one who is proposing to him.<\/p>\n
Frances didn\u2019t say anything. I may assume that he isn\u2019t on the phone anymore if I can\u2019t hear his light breathing.<\/p>\n
The time I am waiting on him is long and suffering.<\/p>\n
Until I hear Frances on the phone saying. “Bring your household registration book, I will wait for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau.”<\/p>\n
I feel the butterflies in my stomach after hearing what he says.<\/p>\n
Before marrying Andrew, I also expect that a man would say this to me one day.<\/p>\n
No matter he is rich or not, in the past or future, I am marrying the man at any risk.<\/p>\n
But I never expect that the person would be Frances.<\/p>\n
He shouldn\u2019t be the person who causes turmoil and chaos in my heart. But it turns out to be him.<\/p>\n
“Wait, I have one condition.” I pause and speak up.<\/p>\n
“Go ahead.”<\/p>\n
“Can you get custody of you and Whitney\u2019s child?” I ask tentatively.<\/p>\n
Frances’s tone immediately sounds upset.<\/p>\n
“What do you want that kid for? This kid is not even mine.”<\/p>\n
He knows about it?<\/p>\n
It is surprising to me that Frances actually knows about it. I don\u2019t know what to say for a while.<\/p>\n
I guess that the reason why Frances insists on getting a divorce is probably because he was being cheated on.<\/p>\n
How can such a proud man like him tolerate it?<\/p>\n
However, I don’t want that child to stay with Whitney. The idea is so fixated in my mind and I don\u2019t even know why.<\/p>\n
“This is my only request.” I insist.<\/p>\n
Frances hesitates for two seconds, and finally agree.<\/p>\n
“Okay, I promise you.”<\/p>\n
In fact, I never expect that Frances would compromise.<\/p>\n
But now, I am back. For revenge.<\/p>\n
Frances remains emotionless on our way back. I can\u2019t tell if he\u2019s happy. This further verifies my guess that he is marrying me for a purpose.<\/p>\n
This marriage looks like a joke because the two of us have completely different purposes.<\/p>\n
Frances goes directly to his room after returning to Louis\u2019 house. I am embarrassed because I am left alone in the living room.<\/p>\n
I find it ridiculous that we act like strangers right after getting married.<\/p>\n
Upstairs, old Mr. Louis\u2019 door is opened and he walks downstairs.<\/p>\n
He is obviously shocked and when he sees me.<\/p>\n
“You are back, Jane.”<\/p>\n
He walks towards me happily, with a friendly smile on his face.<\/p>\n
Old Mr. Louis never seems to like me this much before. Why is he being friendly to me now?<\/p>\n
I am not used to it.<\/p>\n
Until he stretches out his hand towards me and says with a smile. “Hurry up, show me your marriage certificate.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-300","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/300","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=300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
