Then he walks ahead of me and stands at the door of Steven Song&#8217;s house.<\/p>\n<p>He knows Steven Song\u2019s home. Did he secretly investigate or know Steven Song well?<\/p>\n<p>I am curious but don\u2019t ask him.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s just said it&#8217;s not my turn to take care of his business, and if I ask more, I might annoy him again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s okay for me to go in alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I open the door and close it quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Because Frances Louis doesn&#8217;t play by the rules.<\/p>\n<p>If I let him in, wouldn&#8217;t that have been like setting the tiger free? As to whether he will be angry, we can talk about it later.<\/p>\n<p>On entering the door, I see Steven Song sitting on the sofa with a sullen face.<\/p>\n<p>I am relieved that I didn\u2019t let Frances Louis in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stands up and moves his lips. He seems to want to ask me something, but he doesn\u2019t know how to begin. All he could do is look at me with a frown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve come to get my things, and I won&#8217;t live with you in the future. The money you paid me before, I will transfer to your account, if you want to take it as me breaking the contract, I can also pay you the liquidated damages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He and I both don\u2019t mention Frances Louis, but we all now it is about him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s your choice, I respect it.\u201d Steven Song says to me.<\/p>\n<p>I nod and go in to collect my things, but there is a knock on he door.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, it must be Frances Louis knocking at the door.<\/p>\n<p>I know it. This guy&#8217;s not that easy to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>Steven Song frowns and wants to open the door. I grab him and say, \u201cI&#8217;ll open it. It&#8217;s Frances Louis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Steven Song is well aware of my relationship with Frances Louis now, so I don&#8217;t have to hide it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis leans against the door and looks at me proudly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease come in!\u201d I grit mt teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis raises his eyebrows, walk in triumphantly, and sits down beside Steven Song in a triumphant manner.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t know where his proudness come from, and I am in the mood to ask. I go straight to my room and begin to pack my things.<\/p>\n<p>Life is really like a play, recently I move like playing games.<\/p>\n<p>Within a few days, I moved from Andrew Malan to a rented house and from the rented place to Steven Song&#8217;s house. Now I am moving to Frances Louis\u2019s house.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, I don\u2019t have many things.<\/p>\n<p>A suitcase and a big bag, that\u2019s all.<\/p>\n<p>When I come out, Steven Song is not in the living room.<\/p>\n<p>I look around, but there is no sign of him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis says quietly, her face looking a little unhappy.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I know why he&#8217;s so sulky. Men are all the same .Even if he doesn&#8217;t like you, you can&#8217;t pay attention to others.<\/p>\n<p>I take my luggage out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s better that Steven Song is out, or I don&#8217;t know how to say goodbye to him.<\/p>\n<p>My luggage doesn\u2019t have man things, but it has a computer and a lot of miscellaneous things, you don&#8217;t say, it is really heavy.<\/p>\n<p>If Frances Louis were a gentleman, he would give me a hand.<\/p>\n<p>But apparently, he is not.<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis&#8217;s face softens a little and he chuckles, \u201cLook whose woman you are. He doesn&#8217;t dare to touch you now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What woman? I am just a shady mistress.<\/p>\n<p>I say in my mind and put the dishes on the tale.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t share a room with Frances Louis. Every night after sex, he would let me go back and sleep in my own room.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad that I don\u2019t have to sleep with him. It&#8217;s just, when he&#8217;s in bed, I wish he wasn&#8217;t so crazy. Every morning when I get up, I can\u2019t feel my legs.<\/p>\n<p>I really think Andrew Malan wouldn&#8217;t bother me again.<\/p>\n<p>But it seems that I really underestimate the distortion and madness of his mind.<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis go on a business trip on Sunday. I go to work alone.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, even if he were here, I wouldn&#8217;t expect him to drive me to work.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as I get down, I run into an angry face.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Malan!<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t seen him for a few days, he seems to have tanned a lot and looks very discomfited. Usually He is well dressed, but now he is dusty and ragged. I don&#8217;t know what happened to him these days, but the murderous look in his eyes scares me.<\/p>\n<p>And in his right hand there is a fruit knife. The moment he sees me, the hand that holds the knife tightens again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instinctively, I put the bag in front of my heart and take a few steps back.<\/p>\n<p>For a crazy man like him, I can\u2019t beat him, I can only hide.<\/p>\n<p>I am so busy backing up that I don\u2019t even notice that there is someone behind me.<\/p>\n<p>There is a glint in Andrew Malan\u2019s eye. Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain in my waist.<\/p>\n<p>I turn my head and meet Susan Felton&#8217;s sneering face. I look down, she is holding a knife in her hand and the knife is stabbing my kidney in the right place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-69","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/69","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=69"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
