In My Desperate Time

I really can’t imagine that I am saying this to Frances.

It feels like I am the one who is proposing to him.

Frances didn’t say anything. I may assume that he isn’t on the phone anymore if I can’t hear his light breathing.

The time I am waiting on him is long and suffering.

Until I hear Frances on the phone saying. "Bring your household registration book, I will wait for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

I feel the butterflies in my stomach after hearing what he says.

Before marrying Andrew, I also expect that a man would say this to me one day.

No matter he is rich or not, in the past or future, I am marrying the man at any risk.

But I never expect that the person would be Frances.

He shouldn’t be the person who causes turmoil and chaos in my heart. But it turns out to be him.

"Wait, I have one condition." I pause and speak up.

"Go ahead."

"Can you get custody of you and Whitney’s child?" I ask tentatively.
