Chapter 431
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 431<\/p>\n
Violet wants to see me?<\/p>\n
Does she want to spill coffee on me again?<\/p>\n
“Why do we have to see each other?” I rejects her request.<\/p>\n
“I want to talk to you about Steven. He’s not doing well these days.”<\/p>\n
“As his friend, I hope you can come out and meet me.”<\/p>\n
Violet pleads. I can tell that she really likes Steven.<\/p>\n
Actually, I want to say that I don’t care.<\/p>\n
However, I cannot restrain my true feelings.<\/p>\n
I owe Steven much. Now something goes wrong with him. I can’t just sit back and do nothing.<\/p>\n
Even if Violet sets up a trap for me, I have to see her.<\/p>\n
“Alright, where should we meet?” I ask in a deep voice.<\/p>\n
“Let’s meet at the clubhouse next to your house. If I choose a place too far away, I’m afraid you’ll think I’m up to something.”<\/p>\n
With her saying that, it seems like I have no other choices but go.<\/p>\n
“Alright, when?”<\/p>\n
“Two o’clock in the afternoon.”<\/p>\n
After making the appointment with Violet, I put on my clothes and go downstairs.<\/p>\n
I see Frances and Hilda sitting on the sofa, each holding a child and talking with a smile.<\/p>\n
They are like a perfect couple. What a harmonious picture. But to me, it is really an eyesore.<\/p>\n
Frances is my husband. How can he be so intimate with other women?<\/p>\n
I walk down without a word, sit opposite them and watch them talking.<\/p>\n
They notice me after a long while.<\/p>\n
Frances stands up and walks towards me. He smiles and says, “You’re up. Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”<\/p>\n
If I sleep a little longer, I’m not sure what I will see.<\/p>\n
Of course, I only dare to say it in my mind.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, I would look very narrow-minded.<\/p>\n
I force a smile, take the child from Frances and ask softly, “Has Earl eaten?”<\/p>\n
During the meal, Hilda keeps helping old Mr. Louis with the dishes. I’ve never seen old Mr. Louis smile so happily before.<\/p>\n
I have to say that Hilda really knows how to bribe people.<\/p>\n
Both Frances and old Mr. Louis have a good impression of her.<\/p>\n
If it goes on like this, what should I do?<\/p>\n
After the depressing meal, I put away dishes and go to the kitchen to wash them.<\/p>\n
Hilda insists on helping and follows me into the kitchen.<\/p>\n
I feel very uneasy to be in the same space with her.<\/p>\n
After all, bad things happens every time when I am alone with her.<\/p>\n
“Just go out. I don’t need your help.”<\/p>\n
I say coldly.<\/p>\n
Hilda smiles and looks around the kitchen. I don’t know what she’s looking at, but it makes me uneasy.<\/p>\n
Soon, the water in the pot boils. I take the pot to the side and prepare to wash it.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Hilda cries out in alarm. Then, a heat wave rushes towards me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-455","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/455","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=455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
