In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 238

It wasn’t by chance?

Recalling how Frances and I got to know each other, I feel that Steven might have worried too much about it.

“He didn’t come to me. Actually, I got to know him by accident.” I explain.

I don’t even know why I am so anxious to refute Steven’s words, as if I’m afraid that it may harm our relationship, which has been twisted from the beginning. And I don’t believe that the man I love is like what Steven said.

Many years later, I am wondering whether my life would be different, if I didn’t get on Frances’ car.

Steven stares at me for a long time.

Then he says, “Jane, no matter what I tell you, you still choose to believe him. Do you fall in love with Frances?”

I panic as he sees through me. I hurriedly explained, “I’m not speaking for him. You should find evidence if you think he did that. You can’t just blame it on him.”

Steven’s expression changes. He says somewhat awkwardly, “I do not have any evidence right now, but I will investigate it. Jane, if your parents’ car accident is really related to Frances, would you leave him?”

He looks at me with an extremely serious gaze and a hint of anticipation.

I know that Steven wants to help me.

I smile bitterly at him and say, “Even if the accident has nothing to do with him, I will leave him sooner or later. We are too different. And it’s dangerous for me to stay with him.”

I have to leave Frances, but I am not able to do that by myself. Last time, Steven helped me to hide from Frances. I was about to get on the plane. However, I failed to leave because of my parents.

Steven has tried to help me once, so I think I can turn to him this time.

I have no choice but to count on him.

“Steven, I’m pregnant.”

He is stunned and forgets to take the phone I hand to him.

“Are you going to keep the child?” Steven asks me.
