In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 99

The crowd boos.

I'm so embarrassed that I don't know if I should take the bouquet.

The reason why Noah Jefferson finds me here is that he knows my character, and he thinks it is impossible for me to turn him down in public.

"What a bitch! Hooking up with one guy after another, she must be good at seducing men."

Nicole Snow's mocking voice rings behind me and the onlookers’ eyes wide open.

Even Noah Jefferson’s expression also changes.

"Please watch your mouth, young lady. Jane Noyes is not that kind of person." He looks at Nicole Snow, his gentle eyes turn sharp.

Nicole Snow ignores him and snorts coldly, "Are you sure you know about her? Everyone knows the affair between she and our President Song!"

"Who is President Song? The man I met last time?" Noah Jefferson barks questions at me.

I stand there, not knowing how to explain. What about my relationship with Frances Louis if I recognize Steven Song as my boss?

There are so many people here waiting to watch the fun, and whatever I say, it will become the center of attention.

"Noah Jefferson, if you believe me, let's get out of here and I'll explain to you later."

He hesitates for two seconds, then nods his head.

When we leave, he says to Nicole Snow, "I don't care who you are or what you think of Jane Noyes, she is the pure moon in my heart, which you cannot desecrate."

Then Noah Jefferson takes me out of here.

I have mixed feelings about what he said just now.

He knows me before. At that time, I was naive and didn't think about anything. But now everything is different. He knows nothing of my experience, nor of my dark past with Frances Louis.

I am not the pure moon, I am a dark monster, can only live in the dark forever.

If I could, I really wish I could change everything. I wish I can live a peaceful life with an honest person.

But from the moment I met Frances Louis, all this is impossible.

Noah Jefferson takes me to a cafe and orders two coffees. The atmosphere of the cafe is very good and it looks very fancy. Noah Jefferson is a thrifty man, and he must choose a place like this because of me.

He remains silent, waiting for me to speak first.

I want to confess to him, but I don’t know where to begin. Now I can't even face myself.

After thinking, I decided to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial.

"Because our boss is so popular with women, I am used as a shield to stop female employees from approaching him. He and I are just good friends, not the relationship they said."

"I believe you."

Noah Jefferson says to me immediately.

His sincere look makes me feel ashamed.

That bunch of roses on the table stings my eyes.

"Noah Jefferson, you're a good man. But I've made it clear before that I don't deserve you. You deserve a better woman, and that woman couldn’t be me. Today, because so many people were there, I didn’t reject you directly. But next time, I'm afraid I'll have to say sorry."

Having no mood for coffee, I stand up and nod apologetically toward Noah Jefferson, walking straight out the door.

I'm afraid this is the last time I see Noah Jefferson.

Those love of youth is always hard to forget, hard to say goodbye. But reminiscence should be buried in the past, if it was forced to bring to now, the favorable impression will be shattered.

"Jane Noyes, I love you. I want to be with you, no matter how many times you reject me, I will not give up. I said I'd never marry anyone in my life but you, and I will keep my word."

Noah Jefferson's voice is loud, loud enough for the eyes of the entire cafe to turn toward me.

Including Frances Louis, who just comes in.
