In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 208

I am one of those who always does what she thinks of, so I go into Frances room.

The last time, he hid the pictures under his documents, but after a long time of searching, I still cannot find them.

But then again, Frances doesn’t hide his things in places that are easy to find.

Where can they be?

His drawers don’t have a lock, so I look in there as well, but don’t find anything again.

Are they maybe hidden between some of his books in the shelf?

I walk over to the shelves, and look at the hundreds of books on them, I knit my brows. How long will it take to go through all of them?

In this moment, my phone starts to ring, which scares me a lot.

I guess that it must be Frances, but then I see that it is Noah.

Since that day when he left France, we haven’t had any contact.

Now he suddenly calls me, is there something wrong?

I am very confused and pick his call, but when the line connects, there is a women on the other side starting to curse me.

“You little bitch, I told you to leave my son, but you are still wrapping yourself around him, do you really want something to happen before you are happy enough? I wish I could kill you right now!”

It’s Noah’s mother.

But I don’t understand, why is she taking Noah’s phone to call me and curse me like that?

“Missus, what have I done?” I ask.

“You dare to ask me? Our Noah has lost his job, what do you think we should do? If it wasn’t for you, how could he ever lose his job, I am telling you, as long as I am alive, you are never going to set foot in our house. If Noah insists on being with you, then I will pretend like I don’t have this son!” The anger on the other side of the telephone was so real that I can almost touch it.

But I am still confused, Noah lost his job? Does this have something to do with Frances?

He did indeed say a long time ago that he will do something to him.

This definitely is my fault, but I don’t feel good being scolded like this. And I want to know how Noah is doing now.

“Can you please hand the phone to Noah, I want to speak with him.” I say in a small voice.

“No ways! You are never going to speak with my son again!”

I hear the sound of the line disconnecting. I stand there with the phone in my hand, and then dial Frances’ number.

Then I hear his phone ringing in front of the door, which scares me to my bones.

“What are you doing in my room?” Frances asks with a lowered voice.

I stare at the book shelf in front of me, my heart racing, and I take a few steps back, saying, “I am bored, so I wanted to look for some books to read.”

Frances smirks, it barely looks like a smile, he doesn’t seem to believe me.

But this is not important right now.

“Why did you do that? You said you wouldn’t touch him for now. Why would you make him lose his job?”

Frances’ eyes darken, his expression seems complicated.

Then he laughs, sits opposite to me, “Do I really need to speak with you first before I punish him?”

His words make me speechless.

True, he is Frances, he doesn’t need my permission to do things. But he is going against innocent people, doesn’t he feel it’s going too far?

“Frances, you are so heartless! Don’t you know that losing one’s job might be nothing of a big deal to you, but to some other people it is! You only care about yourself having fun, but you never think about what others are feeling!”
