Chapter 567
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 567<\/p>\n
How come so many women in blue dress are here!<\/p>\n
What\u2019s worse, some of them are wearing exactly the same clothes as I am.<\/p>\n
How embarrassing!<\/p>\n
Standing there, I hesitate, wondering if I can step forward and pretend that it\u2019s alright.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a sneer of Hilda came from behind.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was wondering how familiar your dress looks. It turns out that it\u2019s just ordinary. If you came to me in advance, I would definitely grab a decent piece of clothing from my wardrobe to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I turn around and saw Hilda alone.<\/p>\n
Frances must be greeting the guests.<\/p>\n
Hilda has her nature exposed only when Frances is away.<\/p>\n
The nature of jealousy.<\/p>\n
Surely, her unfriendliness comes from my past relationship with Frances.<\/p>\n
The only reason why I was invited can be nothing but her plot to show off.<\/p>\n
It can be imagined that she must be gloating over disgracing me on the nail.<\/p>\n
Now that she enjoys herself belittling me, I\u2019ll meet her screwy need.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not rich enough to afford top grade gowns. So, I know I can\u2019t always avoid this embarrassment. But, I think it\u2019s still better than to kill one\u2019s own husband and take everything for granted without any guilt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Little change can be seen from Hilda\u2019s face.<\/p>\n
It seems that she doesn\u2019t even think about how contemptible her behavior was.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m living much better than you, who was swept out like rubbish, out\u00a0at\u00a0the\u00a0elbows.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a disdainful glance at me, she walked towards the inside.<\/p>\n
Knowing no one else here, I can only grab some food and hide myself at a corner.<\/p>\n
Halfway through the meal, all the lights dim down.<\/p>\n
An emcee appears, saying something in English, to whom I don\u2019t listen quite carefully.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just some holiday words about how much the couple love each other and some blessings to them.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no affection between them!<\/p>\n
The scene of the pretty couple kissing each other must be glorious.<\/p>\n
Everyone wants to see it.<\/p>\n
Except me. I would rather be blind than grin and bear it.<\/p>\n
But the brutal scene must be on.<\/p>\n
With mellow music and soft light, the two become the focus of the audience.<\/p>\n
Hilda gazes at Frances with eyes suffused with affection, as if her passion could melt the coldest ice.<\/p>\n
She is holding his waist with her head up for his response, while standing on her tiptoe.<\/p>\n
Her quivers indicate how nervous she is.<\/p>\n
But I feel more anxious than she.<\/p>\n
I hold my breath, afraid of losing any single sight of what will happen on the stage.<\/p>\n
Then and there, how Frances\u2019 lips tenderly touch hers comes into view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-591","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/591","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=591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
