Chapter 454
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 454<\/p>\n
When I open my eyes, I find myself in bed.<\/p>\n
Frances is sleeping soundly beside me. The sunlight gently shines on his face, and his long eyelashes look exceptionally attractive in the halo.<\/p>\n
This handsome and exquisite man belongs to me.<\/p>\n
A smirk touches my mouth as I reach to stroke his handsome face.<\/p>\n
He suddenly opens his eyes.<\/p>\n
I am shocked, quickly pull my hand back in embarrassment and pretend to be casual, “Get up. We still have things to do.”<\/p>\n
After getting myself clean up, I make a call to Steven.<\/p>\n
“What do you want from me?”<\/p>\n
Steven’s tone is laced with indifference.<\/p>\n
If it isn’t for what Violet said, I might have thought that he had already got me over.<\/p>\n
How hard is it for him to be this calm in front of me?<\/p>\n
“I have something to talk to you. Can we meet?” I whisper.<\/p>\n
After a moment’s silence, Steven replies, “Okay.”<\/p>\n
I ask him out in order to buy time for Violet.<\/p>\n
After the call, Frances has dressed himself.<\/p>\n
However, he looks gloomy and seems to be in a bad mood.<\/p>\n
“What’s wrong? Not in a good mood?”<\/p>\n
“My wife is going to meet another man. How could I be in a good mood?” He replies plaintively, fixing his eyes on me.<\/p>\n
“You look like a poor housewife whose husband has an affair.”<\/p>\n
It’s true.<\/p>\n
I feel amused to see him like this.<\/p>\n
“I’ll cancel the plan if you say it again.”<\/p>\n
He says with a sullen face.<\/p>\n
“Frances, can you go to the hospital with me today? Albie needs to get a shot. You know, he won’t cry only with you holding him when he get the injection.”<\/p>\n
Albie likes Frances. I can tell it as well.<\/p>\n
Frances has been by his side since his childhood. Perhaps Albie has taken him as his father.<\/p>\n
I don’t like the sound of this. I feel it as Hilda’s scheme.<\/p>\n
With this excuse, she has more chance to get close to Frances.<\/p>\n
I turn to Hilda and say in a deep voice, “No. He has agreed to be with me today. Anyway, wife has priority.”<\/p>\n
Hilda purses her lips and brings Albie over from the babysitter, “Frances, Albie needs you. It won’t take long to get a shot. Could you please accompany him? Terence has passed away. The only person we can rely on is you.”<\/p>\n
I panic as she mentions Terence.<\/p>\n
Frances looks like a cold man, but in he is actually very emotional. Besides, Terence had saved him.<\/p>\n
Sure enough, Frances frowns and then nods at Hilda.<\/p>\n
