Chapter 568
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 568<\/p>\n
Did he really kiss her?<\/p>\n
It hurts so bitterly in my heart.<\/p>\n
I can do nothing to stop my lover from kissing another woman, but simply stand there like an onlooker.<\/p>\n
Is there anything more painful than this?<\/p>\n
What if Hilda goes even further? Will he meet her desire?<\/p>\n
Everything before me is so cruel and overwhelming.<\/p>\n
Please stop!<\/p>\n
I repeat this over and over again silently, with my fists clenched, only to find it useless to ease my pain.<\/p>\n
It seems that Frances could hear me, as he halts.<\/p>\n
He looks as if he attempts to pull away, but then he\u2019s held even tighter by her.<\/p>\n
The kiss lasts for two minutes before it finally ends.<\/p>\n
I am fighting back tears, forcing myself not to shed one.<\/p>\n
With the end of the intentional kiss show comes the hustle and bustle of the ball.<\/p>\n
Two men who ask me for a dance are both rejected.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m here only because I want to see Frances, except which nothing else will appeal to me.<\/p>\n
As the couple are dancing elegantly in the hall, I seat myself somewhere unnoticeable, staring at Frances.<\/p>\n
How is his investigation going?<\/p>\n
How long does he have to keep acting as Hilda\u2019s man?<\/p>\n
I totally have no idea of how long I can stand all this.<\/p>\n
If not for seeing him for a little longer, I think I must be no longer on the thorns.<\/p>\n
But my irresistible longing for him prevents me from leaving during the whole party.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t leave the seat until I have become the last guest staying there.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know when I can see him again.<\/p>\n
Or, is it even possible for us to meet again?<\/p>\n
Wait for him?<\/p>\n
Where is he?<\/p>\n
I look around but fail to grasp a hint of him.<\/p>\n
But now that he asks, I will do it for sure.<\/p>\n
Against the bowling winds, I am left alone in the chilly night for an hour, still unable to be rescued by him.<\/p>\n
But I believe in him, who will do as he tells me.<\/p>\n
All I need to do is stay and wait.<\/p>\n
Just when I think that he will not turn up, his figure seems to emerge.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t stay long. Come with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a couple of steps he comes to me and holds my hand to lead me.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t stop walking until we reach somewhere perhaps he thought it is safe. He asks me harshly, \u201cWhy are you here in America? I told you to wait for my return.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI missed you. The thought that I can\u2019t even see you when you\u2019re in extremis took me here. Easy. I won\u2019t spoil your plan. I just want to stay closer to you. And I have already worked out a convincing excuse to deal with Hilda.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-592","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/592","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=592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
