In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 241

Whitney doesn’t need to hide her belly, but I am still carrying a secret.

A few days later, Steven tells me that it has been arranged for me to leave Virginia.

I can leave whenever I want to.

A long delay may cause trouble, so I book a ticket to leave on Thursday morning.

When Steven hands the ticket to me, he asks, “Are you sure about this?”

I suddenly pause.

My heart is painful when I think of Frances.

I’ve made the decision, and I’m prepared. However, I am still concerned about him.

Will I miss him after I leave? Will he remember me? Will he reconcile with Whitney, or will he hook up with other women?

I don’t want to talk about distressing things, so I force a smile and ask Steven, “You said you will look into my parents’ accident. How’s it?”

Steven frowns and says, “I’ve been investigating. However, every time I find some clues, someone in the dark will stop me. Don’t worry, I’ll work on it. And I’ll let you know if I find anything.”

I nod. Somehow I feel relieved.

Perhaps, it’s better to find nothing.

I’m a little afraid of hearing the truth. I am afraid that Frances did it. If it’s true, how can I face him? Perhaps I won’t be able to love him by then.

I carefully put the ticket in my wallet and go home.

I’m leaving the morning after tomorrow, so I resign. If Silvia asks, I’ll tell her that I am on an annual leave.

As for Frances, he’s not at home during the day, so I don’t have to worry at all. Even if he is at home, he might not care whether I go to work or not.

That’s what I think. However, in the evening, Frances goes straight to my room when he returns home.

“You resigned?”

Frances lies down on my bed, which puts an end to the cold war between us.

I don’t want to stand in a stalemate with him before I leave.

I hope that our last days are worth remembering.

However, how long will he be away for business? Does it mean that I can’t see him before I leave?

“Wake me up in an hour.”

Frances closes his eyes and says tiredly.

“Alright.” I nod and lie down beside him.

After taking a deep breath, I pluck up my courage and put my arms around his waist.

He freezes, and then he opens his eyes.
