In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 31

It was a gift I bought for myself when I got my first salary. It cost me nearly four hundred dollars. The quality is very good and it is comfortable to wear.

“Mom, catch the thief!”

From the bed, suddenly comes the screaming of Frank Noyes.

Then my parents hurry in.

One holds a rolling pin, the other a cloth-drying pole.

Turning on the light and seeing me, they are stunned.

“What are you doing here?” My mother looks at me, her face scowling.

I can't help but want to laugh. That’s it. Does my coming affect their happy life?

But this is the house I rent, don’t they feel guilty?

“Who are you?” The woman in the bed struggles to get up and glares at me.

I look at her, then I burst with anger.

That woman is wearing my nightgown, which looks so strange!

This woman might weigh 140 pounds. My nightgown, which is size 4, is going to be stretched to explode by her body. Doesn’t she feel so tight to wear a small dress like this?

“I haven't asked you who you are. Why are you wearing my dress? Take it off!”

I am so angry that I stretch out to rip off her dress.

The woman tries to hide away and says to me disdainfully, “I have money in plenty. But for me forgetting taking nightgown, I would never wear your clothes!”
