In My Desperate Time

Chapter 402: She Is More Terrifying

Wife?

Is she Frances’ ex-wife?

I think Frances only has an ex-wife, Whitney. Now he seems to have more ex-wives.

Suddenly, I am in a panic and at a loss.

I am deeply convinced of what she says for an unknown reason. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Perhaps, her appearance convinces people that she won't lie.

I force a smile and shake my head. "I don't know that you are Frances' ex-wife."

"Ex-wife? Who told you I am his ex-wife?" Hilda smiles faintly and rejects me.

"We registered for marriage abroad. Although our marriage is not recognized at home, we are indeed a couple."

What Hilda said upsets me.

She and Frances are a couple. Who am I to Frances?

Is Frances a bigamist now?

Besides, Hilda was pregnant before, so...

"The child in your belly..."

"Frances is the child's father. He is not staying at home the past few days, because he is staying with me and our baby."

Hilda kept wearing a faint smile.

Such arrogant words from her mouth are not annoying.

I am disturbed and I don't even know if I should believe what she said.

If what she said is true, how should I face it?

I'm in a panic. But I know very well that if I keep being in a panic, it means that I give up.

With great difficulty, I calm myself down. I say to Hilda in a serious voice, "Why did you call me here? Is that all you want to tell me?"

"I never want to ruin your lives. If Frances is willing to be with you, I will sincerely wish you all well. I don't care what kind of life I lead. I just hope he lives a happy life. But now that our child is getting older and older and he will soon go to school. If he doesn't have a father, he will be teased by his classmates. He will not have a happy childhood. As a mother, I don't want to see my child live such a life."

I'm a mother, too. I know that her child is all she has. But it doesn't mean that I can give Frances to her.

If she didn't say those words, I might have thought she was an elegant woman who stood aloof from the rest of the world.

But she said so, I think that she is strange.

I also suddenly think that she might not be as extraordinary as I imagined. She just pretends that she cares nothing and wants to steal Frances from me.

However, Frances is not an item. We can't make the decision for him to stay or leave.

"You can talk to Frances about these things. It's useless to talk to me. Furthermore, I don't know whether you are telling a truth or a lie."

"If you want to know whether it is a truth, ask Frances."

Hilda smiles faintly. She says with confidence as if she prepares to win.

Her looking convinces me that she is a scheming woman.

Or women who look unaggressive like her are much more dangerous than those who look aggressive like Whitney.

I go home with so much on my mind. I am not even in the mood to cook.

I have been thinking about how to talk to Frances later.

The nanny cooks the food. I take a few bites and go back to my room to wait for Frances.

It is late but he hasn't come back. I think of what Hilda told me.

Is he staying with Hilda?

Later, I fall asleep.

Around one o'clock in the morning, Frances comes back. I don't sleep sound, and I wake up the moment Frances enters the room.

He turns his back to me and gently takes off his clothes. I think he is afraid that he will wake me up.

In the past, I would have been touched by his thoughtful actions.

But tonight, I am disturbed and I don't in the mood to care about this.

I swallow hard nervously and speak.

"Did you go to Hilda's place?"

I can feel that Frances stiffens and he slowly turns around.

After a while, he says with a serious expression.

"How did you know that?"

"What is your relationship with Hilda? Is she really your wife?"

I sit up from bed, trembling with nervousness.

I stare at Frances and don’t even blink.

I want to know the answer, but I am also afraid of knowing the truth from his mouth.

He purses his lips and says with some difficulty.

"Yes."
