But I heard him on talking on the phone, asking someone to take the registration book to meet at the courthouse. At first I thought he already found another seductress after getting divorced just recently. But now that I see you back here, I know that it must be you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seductress?<\/p>\n<p>In my head I am still thinking about this word Mister Louis mentioned, not sure if it should make me laugh or cry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou two belong together, but you should have smiled at least. This is not good. This will be there forever, you really should have prepared better. Should you retake the picture?\u201d Old Mister Louis asks me.<\/p>\n<p>Forever?<\/p>\n<p>I laugh, but don\u2019t answer his question.<\/p>\n<p>How can I ever be with Frances forever.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I don\u2019t really know what he wants to do, as soon as I have achieved my own goal, I will leave again.<\/p>\n<p>Me and him, have never talked about forever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho retakes wedding pictures, I guess it\u2019s fine as it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I say calmly, take back the marriage certificate, and put it back in the bag.<\/p>\n<p>This moment, Frances comes down the stairs, and asks me, \u201cWhat should we eat for dinner? I will go and cook it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He cooks?<\/p>\n<p>In my head, I suddenly remember the horrible dishes he once made. I press my lips together, and force a smile on my lips, \u201cI don\u2019t think you should cook. I don\u2019t really wanna eat anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances though acts as if he hasn\u2019t heard me talk, and keeps walking towards the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>About half an hour later, he comes out with a few dishes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really delicious.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s even better than when I cook it myself, it is even so good that it is comparable to the ones sold in five star restaurants. Frances used to be a horrible cook, what happened for his food to turn out so well?<\/p>\n<p>If I hadn\u2019t seen him in the kitchen with my own eyes, I would have thought he ordered this somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>But even though it tastes good, I am reminded of my child, and suddenly I lose all my appetite. I only take a few bites, and put down my chopsticks, saying to Frances, \u201cI will go back to pack some things, be right back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo need, there is everything here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances answers, and when he sees that I have put down my chopsticks, he knits his brows, \u201cAre you done?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I follow behind him the stairs up, into his room, and then I suddenly realize what he means when he said there everything is here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-301","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/301","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=301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
