In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 127

There is an eerie and desperate silence in the air.

I look at Frances Louis’s sullen face and dare not breathe.

After a while, I say with a shudder, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't mean it?"

I know I look like a coward now, but if I don't be a coward now, I think I'll die miserably.

"How do you think?"

He sneers, his icy tone frightening me.

I had already angered Frances Louis, and now I slapped him. I must be crazy!

"Well…You can slap me in return." I say and close my eyes, waiting for his furious slaps.

But after a long time, the pain doesn’t come as I expected.

I open my eyes with trepidation and meet Frances Louis’s deep eyes.

I am really scared.

But at the same time, I am wondering, would he blow a fuse and ask me to get out of here?

Unfortunately, after staring at me for a long time, Frances Louis finally slams the door and leaves.

When he is leaving, he gives me a cold word.

"Reflect on yourself in the room."

Reflect? Why do I need to do this?

I gave him a slap. He can slap me in return. He can also give me a good beat and at most knock out a few teeth of mine.

I run after him to open the door and try to make it clear to Frances Louis. I try several times, but can’t open the door.

Damn it! Did he lock me in?!

"Frances Louis, open the door! Let me out! Let me explain!"

Nobody answers.

"Why you lock me in here? Let's talk about it. You let me out! Let me out!"

I could feel Frances Louis is standing outside the door, as I don’t hear his footsteps.

But no matter what I say, he doesn’t answer me.

I am really irritated and shout at him through the door, "Frances Louis, this is illegal imprisonment, you violate the law! I'll Sue you! I'll Sue you!"

Then I hear some noises over the door.

The sound of footsteps goes away. Frances Louis should have gone downstairs.

Damn you, Frances Louis!

I kick the door several times in anger, thinking I would kick it open with all my strength. But after kicking for a while, my foot pains, so I give up.

What a stingy man!

I know it is useless to shout and kick, so I just lie on the bed and play with my cell phone.

I log on Twitter and post a message.

"Some man is really unreasonable. You can’t get him to listen to reasons, and he is more unreasonable than a woman."

I know Frances Louis will see my tweet, and I'm fine with it. Anyway, I post it for him to see deliberately.

If nobody tells him, he wouldn’t know his problem.

Frances Louis doesn’t comment on my tweet, but Mindy replies me very soon.

"You are so right! Men are more unreasonable than women this time."

I know something must have happened from Mindy Sue’s comment, so I send her a message to express my concern.

"What happened? Who irritates you, your highness?"

"Who else could it be, the son of a bitch that David Gibbs is! I just smiled at the delivery boy and said you are so nice. Then he went crazy and called to complain that he harassed me. The delivery boy lost his job because of him! And David acts as if he'd done nothing wrong."

Mindy replies my message quickly.

Then a long pile of complaints bomb, I can see Mindy Sue’s grievance for David Gibbs. That’s similar with me and Frances Louis. Obviously, men are unreasonable now.

After pouring her bitterness, she asks me what my post means.

I send her a video call and tell Mindy about the unreasonable behaviors of Frances Louis. Of course, I skip those creepy movements. Even with Mindy as my best friend, I still find it hard to talk about it.

I'm not like Mindy. she's the kind of person who can say anything, and I would selectively talk about myself. Otherwise, she would know that Andrew Malan is impotent.

"Jane, David Gibbs did these things and get jealous because he likes me. Is it possible that Frances Louis also…"
