In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 174

Frances’ face suddenly turns gloomy.

He stares at me for a long time and speaks slowly. "I have already told you a long time ago. Mind your own business. Never ask about things that doesn’t concern you. Is it that difficult for you?"

Frances’ sudden indifference breaks my heart.

He doesn’t know that I am asking out of love.

Maybe it's best for him not to know for the rest of his life.

"It's not difficult. I'm just curious. I won't ask again if you don't want to talk about it." I grin at him reluctantly, take the bowl from his hand, and go straight downstairs.

As soon as I walk out of his door, I run into Mr. Louis who is looking around with his door opened.

"Oh, there you are, Jane. I was so hungry that I fell asleep just now. Hurry up and bring me the noodles."

I look at the bowl, and there is nothing left except the big bowl of soup.

How can I give it to Mr. Louis like this?

"There is nothing left here. But I will cook another bowl for you if you are still in the mood to eat.”

It's not complicated anyway. It just takes some time.

Mr. Louis shakes his head. His eyes suddenly look sharp, and he walks towards Frances.

"Did you cut in line and eat my noodles, kid! I was drooling in my dreams, and I still can’t have it in reality!" Mr. Louis points at Frances angrily. His angry face looks kind of cute.

"You are the one who fell asleep. I heard her knocking on the door for a long time. Old people should acquiesce to their age. Isn't it good to go to bed and get up early? Having night snack is a young people thing. Don’t try too hard to follow the trend.”

Frances curls his lips and says in return.

"Are you trying to piss me off? What an ungrateful kid. How can you do this to me when I came all the way to visit you? Did I treat you wrong?”

Mr. Louis is so angry that he looks like he is about to explode.

I can't help but want to laugh.

It looks like the grandfather and his grandson are going to have a spat again.

"Do you still feel like eating the noodles?"

I stand at the door and ask.

“Eat? I am so pissed that I feel full!” Mr. Louis says.

Since he is not eating, I go downstairs to wash the dishes. Then I plan to go to bed.

When I come back, Mr. Louis is still arguing with Frances. In other words, he is scolding Frances.

And Frances is too lazy to say anything.

I go back to my room and lay down. Maybe I will fall asleep after playing with my phone for a while.

However, I find that there are many missed calls on the phone. All of them are from Noah.

Thinking of him still makes me uncomfortable.

It’s already so late at night, is he in trouble? Or there is something emergency.

I call him back after hesitating uneasily.

The phone is finally answered after a long time.

"I love you so much, Jane. I don't care about anything, else. All I care about is you. I don’t care who you are with now. Leave him. Let me be your boyfriend and I will be nice to you for the rest of your life."

On the other side of the phone, Noah's voice sounds pretty drunk. And it seems that he is drunk for a while.

If Noah proposes this a few days earlier, I might say yes. That is before I know how I feel about Frances.

A man must be really in love with you, if he can tolerate everything about you,

And love is something I always pursue.

“You are drunk, Noah."

I say.

"I'm not drunk, Jane. I want to see you. I want to see you now. I will jump from here if you don’t come."
