In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 82

It is only at the door that I finally realize what has just happened.

Did Frances Louis avenge for me?

We get into the car. I still feel impossible for what happened.

Why Frances Louis speaks up for me? He was mad at me before.

My parents rush out and apologize to Frances Louis, “We’re sorry, Mr. Louis. We didn't mean that. Please forgive Frank. Now Jane Noyes is yours, we're family...”

“Jane Noyes is not a commodity, and you and I are not a family. You will pay for bullying my woman.”

Frances Louis gives them no opportunity to speak and drives off.

Does this mean that I can finally get away from that family?

But why am I not happy at all?

At least, I thank Frances Louis truly in my heart.

“Thank you, Frances Louis.”

I look over at him and thank him sincerely.

“You are my woman. Nobody can bully you except me.”

His words make my heart warm.

I even think in my mind: If I am really his woman, his only woman, that’s not a bad thing.

“Frances Louis, I have a question. There are so many women around you, why do you choose me? I'm not pretty nor special.”

If there must be something special of me, that would be I divorced as a virgin.

But it’s easy for Frances Louis to find a virgin. Why does he choose me, a divorced woman?

The car slows down. He turns and looks at me with smiling eyes.

“The beautiful skins are all the same in this world, but the interesting souls are one in a million. Jane Noyes, you're funny.”

Funny?

Well, I don’t know.

What is Frances Louis's definition of funny?

“Are you kidding me? I don't think I'm funny. If you like something funny, go and find a comedian, that will make you laugh every day.”

Frances Louis gives me a cold look and says nothing.

I don’t dare to talk. I sit on my seat obediently.
