In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 280

“Why do you want that child so much?”

Frances asks me.

When he is talking about that child, his gaze subconsciously reveals a slight disgust.

I can understand that.

Any man won't be able to bear things like being a cuckold, right?

Moreover, he's the famous Frances from Virginia!

But I don't care whether he's happy or not.

Now, my only concern is my happiness.

I don't want to pay attention to his feelings.

I indifferently say, “Maybe because I hate Whitney, I want to let her feel how it's like to be separated from her own child.”

But at heart, it's more like that child affects me for no reason.

I really can't stand how Whitney treat that child.

But if I say that reason out loud, Frances might think that I'm too nosy.

Frances' gaze becomes gloomier as it lands on me.

“Jane, you have changed.”

He sounds a bit regretful.

How?

He thinks that the originally stupid and pure me is gone, so he feels regretful.

But isn't he the cause of my change?

Will I become like this if he didn't ruin the kid, my only emotional support?

Hating someone is more painful than loving someone.

But there's no other way, I can only keep hating him.

“People can always change, right? Being weak can only let yourself and those around you get hurt. Others are always unreliable, the only way to protect yourself is by getting stronger.”

The present me thinks that there's no harm in being tougher.

If I was brave enough, perhaps my baby...

My heart hurts again.

I take a deep breath, forcing myself not to think about it anymore.

“You have me now. I can protect you.” Frances' soft voice comes from the top of my head.

I just think that it's funny.

He will protect me?

The man that makes me doomed says they he'll protect me?

That might be the most funny thing I have ever heard in my life.

I faintly smile and softly say, “I only trust myself.”

“All right, let's not talk about it anymore. Give me a precise answer, how long will it take?”
