In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 139

“What's the good news?”

He is smiling, but I always feel like nothing good is happening.

He stands up, walks towards me, and says in a cold voice, “Let’s go out for dinner. Let’s talk about it when we come back.”

Frances Louis wants me to guess. Darn it! He just wants to torture me since I am always being curious for all kinds of things!

I want to ignore him, so I grit my teeth and say, “I am not hungry”, then I go upstairs.

Anyway, I ate at four o'clock in the afternoon, and had a snack in the evening, so I'm not hungry at all.

But now it's over ten o'clock in the evening and Frances Louis hasn't had dinner yet, does it mean he was waiting for me?

But why doesn’t he call me and tell me to come back? Or has he just gotten back too, and hasn't had time to call me yet?

I couldn't figure it out, so I quit.

“Jane Noyes, I'm hungry.”

Frances Louis begs with soft voice, like a helpless child.

I turn around and meet with his cold face.

It must have been my imagination.

“I'll go cook you a bowl of noodles then,” I say, and head towards the kitchen.

Behind me, Frances Louis suddenly holds me back and says, “I said you're not allowed to go into the kitchen to cook again.”

No more cooking in the kitchen? That seems to have different meanings.

“Are you sure you don't want me to go into the kitchen to cook?” I look at Frances Louis and ask extremely seriously.

“Yeah.” He says.

“Well, remember what you said,” I say, shaking off his hand and running quickly towards the kitchen.

I get the induction cooker, the pot, the spices, and the bowl and noodles. As long as the water is boiling, I could make the noodles.

As I put the spices in, I say smugly to Frances Louis, “You said I wasn't allowed to get in the kitchen to cook again. As you can see, when I go into the kitchen, I'm not cooking. When I cook, I'm not in the kitchen.”

Frances Louis is probably really hungry, or maybe my reason is too perfect for him to argue with.

He looks at me without saying anything and sits silently aside to watch me cooking.

Quickly, I cook the noodles and serve it to Frances Louis.

He eats the noodles gracefully. He doesn’t say the noodles tastes good or not.

It doesn’t matter, I never expect him to compliment me anyway.

While he is eating the noodles, I ask, “You said you had good news for me, what is it?”

Although I didn’t expect Frances Louis would say anything pleasant, I couldn't help but want to figure it out.

“I've got something for you, go upstairs and find them by yourself.”

He points towards the upstairs and then continues to eat his noodles.

I go upstairs curiously. I feel a bit nervous as I enter the room.

On the bed, there is a small box.

The box is small and looks like it contains clothes or shoes or something.

At least, that's what I thought.

Why would he send me these things? Is it to make up for the guilt of not giving me jewelry last time?

I open the box and instantly turn red when I see what is inside.

I take the box and storm outside, yelling at Frances Louis, “Frances Louis, shame on you, what are you giving me this stuff for?”

Frances Louis was drinking the noodle soup, and when he sees me come out, he immediately puts the bowl down, acting as if nothing has happened, and says to me lightly, “You said you wanted to learn some skills, I just want to help you.”

“Then why you give me sexy underwear and... this thing?”

The thing I'm really embarrassed to say is the vibrator.

In the box Frances Louis prepared for me are three items, besides the vibrator and the sexy underwear, there are dozens of CDs. It must be someone's collection.

I was just saying that casually, but he actually takes it seriously and wants me to use these things. Why doesn’t he go to hell?

Frances Louis smiles, looks down at his watch and says quietly, “You have half an hour to learn before I come up there.”
