In My Desperate Time

What could make Frances Louis look so serious in the world?

As an expressionless person in any situation, how come he is so serious now?

“What happened?”

I ask him with my voice trembling. Although I don’t know why I feel so nervous.

“Come here and sit.”

He beckons to me to come over.

I walk over according to his commands and sit down beside him.

I usually behave myself in front of Frances Louis, except when he did something crazy.

Like before.

“You've met Whitney Jordan. What do you think?” He asks me suddenly.

I realize that he would talk about something concerning Whitney Jordan.

Does he want to end our relationship? I'd love that.

My joy is beyond expression.

“I think she is nice. She's prettier than me, nobler than me, classier than me. Your union is made by heaven! Why you stay with me? You’d better live your life with such a good wife.” I ask a question that has haunted me for so long.
