In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 80

We just had a big fight in the afternoon. Now I am so cheeky to ask for his help. Frances Louis must think I am thick-skinned.

Knock, knock, no body answers.

I think he pretends not to hear.

I don’t give up, and gives him a call. The only way I can avoid being harassed by my mother is harassing Frances Louis.

He doesn’t answer the phone.

Anyway, I have enough patience. I keep calling until he picks up.

After three to four times, Frances Louis finally answers.

There's a lot of noise on his side. He doesn't seem to be at home.

“What?” He asks coldly, without any feelings.

“I am at your door.” I say, waiting for his reply.

But Frances Louis is so patient that, after several minutes, he still says nothing.

I am afraid of the silent Frances Louis, and finally I am the first to break the ice.

“Would you please come back and let’s talk about Frank Noyes?” I bite my lip and lower my voice.

I just pissed off Frances Louis. If I didn’t have a nice attitude now, he might not help me.

However, I maybe think highly of Frances Louis.

“That's not the attitude you had when you got off the car. You want to talk, but I don't want to talk to you.”

My heart drops to the bottom.

Now I am surer that Frank Noyes is taken by Frances Louis.

What a mean person he is! I just lost my temper and had a few words with him, why he is so petty!

“I am sorry. I apologize. Would you come back? I am waiting at your door.”

I take two deep breaths to calm my anger down.

I have to suppress my anger. I can't provoke Frances Louis again.

“You can wait as long as you like.”

Then Frances Louis hangs up.

I call him again, but he has already turned off.

He turns off to take revenge on me!

What a baby!

He is so childish!

Well, I can wait.

I stand at his door, waking back and forth, waiting for Frances Louis.

After a long time, he still doesn’t come back.

It is really cold in the middle of the night. I came out in a hurry and forgot to put on my coat. Now my body is frozen out here.

I keep sneezing. I rub my hands and stomping my feet to keep the heat.

My greatest regret now is not that I offended Frances Louis, but that I threw away the key for his house after a quarrel with him. Otherwise I'd be in the house by now and not be a fool out here standing in the cold wind.

At first, I can play with my phone, but then it runs out of battery.

Cold, I feel so cold!

By the end, my body becomes almost unconscious and my consciousness is getting dim.

Daylight finally comes.

I waited all night in front of Frances Louis's house.

It is nearly eight o 'clock when his car comes back.

I stand up and drag my numb legs toward him.

Frances Louis rolls down the window and looks at me coldly.

“You really waited all night. Jane Noyes, where is your dignity? You look so brave when you had quarrel with me. Don't come back if you have any self-esteem!”

Frances Louis’s words trample on my pride.

But I don’t have time to think about it. I use all my strength to knock at the window.

“Would you please come out first and let’s talk.”
