In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 175

Jump off?

Noah’s words scare me.

“Where are you?”

It doesn’t matter if I still love this man or his words are real or not, I must treat his life seriously.

“I’m on the top floor of Fir Bar, come here as soon as possible.”

Noah says.

“I’ll be there in a minute.”

I put down my phone, and walk out of the door while putting on my coat.

Frances just step out of the room, and frowns on me, “It’s late, where are you going?”

I know he never likes Noah, last time he even threatened me not to meet him. I can only pick a random excuse, “It’s a company thing. I need to leave.”

I rush to the bar.

And there has already had a large crowd gathering around it.

Noah is sitting on the roof, with his whole body is shaking. I feel like he could fall off at any time.

“Has anyone called the police?” I ask one of the onlookers.

“I don't know either. I just go here.”

That person explains.

I worry too much about Noah, so I call the police first before I go upstairs.

“Noah.”

I call his name form behind him in a frightened tone.

“Jane!”

He almost shout when he sees me.

Watching him from such a short distance, I can see he gets all red in the face. He must have drunk a lot then he should.

“Just come down, it's dangerous up there.”

It's a building with six floors, twenty meters from the ground. His whole body is gonna smashed if he falls off. I don't know when the police will come, I just want him to be safe.

“No, you come to me. I need to tell you something.”

He smiles to me gently, which makes me feel fretted.

I have no idea what he is going to say, but I know I have no choice but to walk to him.

He really likes me, so how can I watch him die? Even though I don't like how unimportant he sees his own life, I can't leave him there.

I nod, and walk towards him.

I’m afraid of the height, that’s way I only stare at his eyes instead of looking down.

People have already started to teasing him.

This society id full of indifferent people, they just want to see the drama, only few really care about if he’s gonna be okay.

“Jane, I love you. I don't care about your past, I only want to be a part of your future. I’ll be good to you for the rest of my life, I’ll make you happy. Marry me!”

Noah yells these words to me under the help of alcohol.

The onlookers turn excited immediately.

I’m so embarrassed that I don't know what to say.

Everything is happening so fast, however, I know clearly that I won’t marry him.

Looking at him, I’m so lost that I don't respond to him for a really long time.

Seeing me being quiet, his face clouds, “Jane, either I get to marry you or I’ll die in front you.”

My heart goes half-cold after hearing him out.

People downstairs try to convince me in his favor.

“Just marry him.”

“He’s kinda handsome, if I were you, I would say yes.”

…

Of course, they are putting pressure on me. Not to mention Noah is getting irritated, and I don't want him to do anything stupid.

But marriage is not something you can say yes to easily.

Right at this moment, my phone rings.

“Ms. Noyes, this is the police. The firefighters haven't arrived yet, please make sure that gentleman is in a stable mind, please just say yes to whatever he requests you.”
