In My Desperate Time

Chapter 260 I Don’t Want to Know

Steven doesn’t answer my questions but gives me a meaningful look and says softly, “You still care so much about what happened to him, right?”

I want to deny it but I can’t fool myself, nor can I fool him.

“If you know both your enemy and yourself, you will fight a hundred battles without dangers of defeat. I come here for gathering information about Frances, so it’s hard to be not concerned.” after explaining I continue to ask, “Why do you think they want a divorce?”

“I have no idea. It’s said that Whitney cheated on him.”

Cheating? Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

I immediately think of the relationship between Whitney and Lawrence, even Whitney’s child is Lawrence’s. Could it be that Frances knew about this?

“Cheating? With whom?” though it’s clear in my mind I still ask for sure.

“I don’t know.” Steven shakes his head, “I heard that she keeps a D-list young model as her lover, but we still don’t know who the model is.”

Steven’s words shock me a bit.

How is it possible that Whitney keeps a young man as her lover?

She has deeply and crazily loved Frances. How could she have affairs with other men. Even her pregnancy of Lawrence’s child was an accident. My intuition tells me that Whitney would never keep a lover.

“I don’t think so.” I say to Steven.

He laughs and replies quietly, “Everything is possible. It’s quite common for men to keep mistress. It’s also possible to happen to women.”

“But this woman is Whitney, so it’s impossible.”

When I say this, an idea suddenly enlightens me, and then I feel numbness in my back.

If it’s impossible for Whitney to keep a lover, then it’s very likely that Frances deliberately set this up. It’s entirely possible he would do something like this in order to divorce Whitney. After all, I have done a similar thing to divorce Andrew.

Although I can’t really figure out the truth of their divorce, I only can guess so. Could it be that it’s because Whitney is mentally ill? It doesn’t seem to make sense.

But I really can’t think of any other possibilities than that Frances deliberately plots.

“I’m not interested in their things. If you want to know, I can look into it for you.” Steven says.

“No, I don’t want to know.” I say immediately.

And I realize I may be too obvious to let myself out of this.

“That’s good. Your ex-husband may probably come for you again, and you insist on staying here, so I’ll send extra men here to protect you. You should be more careful.”

The he leaves the bar after telling me this.

In the following days, Andrew doesn’t bother me again.

I, on the other hand, am always hearing news about Frances, intentionally or accidentally. For several days, everyone’s sayings haven’t changed much.

Frances wants to divorce but Whitney won’t allow it, nor do Frances’s families. But the situation is more favorable to Frances because of Whitney’s unfaithfulness.

As I gather pieces of news about Frances these days, I find that I really can’t discover any of his weaknesses, which makes me desperate.

Is it that only his child would be his soft spot? But how can I reach my hand to a child?

On this day, I accidentally notice one thing as I am flipping through the calendar on my phone.

Today is Frances’s birthday.
