In My Desperate Time

Now it goes more natural when she speaks like that.

At least that’s how I see the rich: realistic. How could she really like me when she knew that I am his son’s mistress and I am a divorced woman in an inferior class with complicated family?

I do hesitate for a moment in my mind.

I have to admit I’m kind of sad to leave Frances, and his mother, no doubt, is insulting our feelings with money.

Nevertheless, the good thing is that I don’t lose myself in this relationship.

Even if I have feelings for Frances, it would be my own wishful thinking, and now it’s time to cut the love.

And the five million is just the exact amount to relieve me of my immediate needs.
