No wonder, when Steven Song saw them, he looks like that he wants to tell me something.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I have thought over and over that Frances Louis has other women.<\/p>\n<p>Last time at the hospital, I saw him holding a woman with a big belly.<\/p>\n<p>But I didn&#8217;t know he was married. And this woman is not the same as the woman with the big belly last time.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how to describe how I was feeling, I just feel my head buzzing.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t hear any of the sounds around me, only the word &#8220;honey&#8221; playing back in my head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJane Noyes, are you okay?\u201d Steven Song pushes me and looks at me concernedly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah. I go to the bathroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I get up from my seat and stumble toward the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way, I bump into several people.<\/p>\n<p>When I finally stand in front of the mirror and look at the pale woman, I feel I am really ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that when the mistress meets with the legal wife, the mistress is like a drowned rat.<\/p>\n<p>I wash my face to calm down. Luckily, the makeup is waterproof, I put on more lipstick, take a deep breath and go back.<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis look at my way. The emotion in his eyes is too complicated for me to understand.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe he&#8217;s afraid that his wife would know my existence.<\/p>\n<p>I take out my phone and send him a message.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon&#8217;t worry, your wife wouldn\u2019t know my existence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I smile wryly and put the phone back in my bag. I remember what Frances Louis\u2019s sister said last time she saw me, and now everything makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>For the next two hours, I am so calm that I don\u2019t even look at Frances Louis.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, I automatically block him and his wife.<\/p>\n<p>After watching the show, I get up and walk outside first.<\/p>\n<p>Steven Song follows me, obviously he is a little worried about me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s go back to the hotel.\u201d I turn to smile at Steven Song.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop smiling. You look terrible.\u201d He says to me coldly.<\/p>\n<p>I look behind him. Frances Louis has gone out with his wife.<\/p>\n<p>His wife seems to be in a good mood, smiling around him.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, Frances Louis&#8217;s expression is far too cold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease go and drive the car. I&#8217;m cold and want to go back to sleep.\u201d I turn back and tighten up in the wind.<\/p>\n<p>Steven Song takes off his coat and puts it over my shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait here. I will come back soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope so. Frances Louis is definitely not someone you can afford to love.\u201d Steven Song&#8217;s expression is the most serious I have ever seen. \u201cIf you can design some good luxuries, you can pay off Frances Louis in less than six months. But in the meantime, you mustn&#8217;t have crush on Frances Louis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know. I have self-knowledge.\u201d I answer.<\/p>\n<p>But my heart feels acerb and bitter.<\/p>\n<p>I try to interpret this feeling as the awkwardness for the mistress meets with the legal wife.<\/p>\n<p>Steven Song doesn\u2019t say more. He drives me back at the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>I am about to take off my makeup and take a shower when Steven Song knocks on the door with two boxes of takeout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou didn\u2019t have dinner. Don\u2019t sleep now. Or you might go to the hospital again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steven Song opens the takeout and hands me one, \u201cI bought it downstairs, just to fill the belly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I have to say, Steven Song is really sweet.<\/p>\n<p>I gulp my meal and soon finish my share. Steven Song probably doesn\u2019t like it. He didn&#8217;t eat much.<\/p>\n<p>After seeing Steven Song off, I take a shower and lie on the bed, checking Twitter. It occurs to me that Frances Louis caught me saying bad words of him on Twitter last time.<\/p>\n<p>I search Frances Louis&#8217;s name and click into his homepage. It&#8217;s empty. There&#8217;s nothing in it.<\/p>\n<p>I curl my lips and my phone vibrates.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a message.<\/p>\n<p>The sender is Frances Louis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-94","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/94","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=94"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
