In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 248

Steven doesn’t try to avert suspicion, following me into my room. Mom and Dad stand at the door and give me an encouraging wink, beckoning me to seduce Steven.

What are they thinking about? How can I seduce Steven as a pregnant woman? Moreover, there is no chemistry between us.

Steven sits down on the bed, fixing his eyes on me. It seems that he has something to say.

“Speak out.” I say indifferently.

“Frances is driving me crazy.” Steven sighs and then continues, “You know what? He has been stalking me almost every day for the past few months. I guess he does this to find you. It took me a lot of effort today to finally get rid of him. If he continues like this, he will find you sooner or later.”

“I have already paid off my debt. Why is he so persistent?” I say helplessly, smiling bitterly.

The first time Steven came, he told me that when he gave the card to Frances, Frances turned grim with a cloudy face. When he walked out of Frances’ office, he could hear Frances smashing things from afar.

“What if he cares about you?” Steven stares at me and says seriously.

I shake my head firmly and say, “Impossible. Stop spouting nonsense. How could he care about me? He just can’t accept that I’ve fooled him.”

Frances is very proud, and he has to be the one who dumps instead of being dumped. How could he accept that I left without telling him? It’s humiliating to a man like him.

“I hear that he has been trying to divorce Whitney, but old Mr. Louis doesn’t agree because Whitney is pregnant.”

I nod with indifference.

It’s none of my business if he divorces Whitney or not. I’ve got rid of them in my life, and I’m not involved with them anymore.
