Chapter 396
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 396<\/p>\n
In the crowded Prague Square, Frances and I are lost in our amorous kiss.<\/p>\n
This kiss is sweet and fresh as ever many years later.<\/p>\n
After the fierce kiss, Frances pulls me into the carriage, and we wander around the square.<\/p>\n
I still stare at the ring on my finger and can’t look away.<\/p>\n
“Frances, where did you get this?”<\/p>\n
I ask again.<\/p>\n
My perseverance prevails and Frances explains to me, “I bought this ring at the auction that day.”<\/p>\n
An auction?<\/p>\n
I remember Frances came back in a good mood then. It turns out it was because he obtained this ring.<\/p>\n
It is safe to assume that he has been planning on proposing to me since then.<\/p>\n
No wonder he has been acting so mysteriously these days. It has been about the upcoming proposal arranged in secret.<\/p>\n
I am so touched by him.<\/p>\n
I smile and he continues.<\/p>\n
“This ring was given to his favorite concubine by Ramses II. He loved that woman all his life. I bought this ring to prove I would love you for the rest of my life.”<\/p>\n
I come to realize every word that comes from Frances can make my heart race.<\/p>\n
When he says them, the clich\u00e9s become the most touching words of affection.<\/p>\n
“Gross,” I grumble in a flirtatious manner and lean against his shoulder, my heart filled with happiness.<\/p>\n
Frances’ proposal drives away all my displeasure from these past few days.<\/p>\n
We have fun in Prague for three days. Then Frances decides it is time to go home because a project in his company needs his attention.<\/p>\n
After bidding farewell to my parents, we get on the plane to return.<\/p>\n
Frances goes straight back to the company, and I go home in a car.<\/p>\n
Old Mr. Louis has returned, and Sabina still locks herself up in her room.<\/p>\n
“My wedding is on the 1st of next month. Will you come?”<\/p>\n
Finally, Steven is getting married.<\/p>\n
I have a hot temper, but I forgive pretty quickly. It has been so long, and in fact, I don’t blame him anymore.<\/p>\n
However, if I am to go to his wedding, would it be strange? Moreover, would Frances be angry?<\/p>\n
I don’t know how to reply, so I simply put down the phone and go down to cook.<\/p>\n
As soon as the meal is ready, Frances comes back.<\/p>\n
After dinner, I go back to my room and tell him about Steven’s text message in the afternoon.<\/p>\n
“Tell me. Do you want me to go or not?”<\/p>\n
As I speak, I observe his expression.<\/p>\n
This man is petty, so I must get a clear answer from him.<\/p>\n
Frances nods and says with certainty, “Yes. Why not?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-420","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/420","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=420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
