Chapter 392
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 392<\/p>\n
Behind me, Mom whispers to Frances.<\/p>\n
“What’s wrong? Did you quarrel?”<\/p>\n
I turn around and glare at Frances, my eyes speaking of death, deterring him from blabbering.<\/p>\n
He looks at me dotingly and smiles at Mom, replying, “She warned me I should say no.”<\/p>\n
Damn it!<\/p>\n
Why did he say that?<\/p>\n
Mom rolls her eyes at me and pulls Frances’ hand. “That’s her. You must be more tolerant of her. Don’t lower your opinion of her because of her flaws.”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
I feel embarrassed when she says that.<\/p>\n
I don’t understand why Mom has such a good impression of him on their first encounter.<\/p>\n
Am I looking at the so-called bias from a woman toward her son-in-law?<\/p>\n
Frances shakes his head and says something moving, his voice deep and melodious.<\/p>\n
“I love her for who she is. I even love all her flaws.”<\/p>\n
For a moment, I really want to throw myself at Frances.<\/p>\n
If it had been said by someone else, I would definitely get goosebumps all over myself.<\/p>\n
However, when Frances said that, it sounded particularly touching.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, I finally find an excuse to restrain my impulse.<\/p>\n
He must be trying to gain Mom’s favor.<\/p>\n
After all, Mom and Dad know how he used to hurt me.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have left for Prague, far away from home.<\/p>\n
Mom has prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome us. She somehow knows what Frances fancies and cooked his favorite food.<\/p>\n
Moreover, she keeps helping Frances with the dishes, making Dad jealous.<\/p>\n
Faintly, I hear him say “child”.<\/p>\n
When I wake up in the morning, Frances is no longer in bed.<\/p>\n
Freshening up and leaving the room, I still can’t find Frances. I can’t help but ask Mom where he went.<\/p>\n
Mom smiles meaningfully at me and curls her lips, saying, “Aren’t you supposed to be in a fight? Why do you still care about him?”<\/p>\n
I blush and stop inquiring further.<\/p>\n
Mom smiles and says to me, “He went out early in the morning. He said it was something urgent, but I didn’t ask him what it was.”<\/p>\n
“I see.”<\/p>\n
I nod and silently eat my breakfast on the plate.<\/p>\n
After dinner, I head out.<\/p>\n
I came to Prague to find my child. Now that Frances is gone, I can do some investigation by myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-416","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/416","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=416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
