In My Desperate Time

Looking like me?

I am a little face-blind, so I cannot see how even after staring at the baby's face for quite some time. I shake my head at Sabina with a smile, saying, "I can't see it."

"He really looks like you. His eyes, mouth, and high nose. I think they all resemble yours." Sabina glances at the child and then at me, saying with certainty.

"Perhaps children look all the same. We'll know if what you said is true after he grows up."

"Perhaps." Sabina nods and leaves after exchanging a few words with me.

After I put Earl to bed, I feel like taking a shower before sleep.

As soon as I enter the bathroom, the other door to it is opened, and Frances walks in.

He is only wearing a pair of underwear. His slender waist and sturdy chest are exposed.

And the bulging thing in his underwear makes me blush in particular.

"You are shameless, running around dressed like this!"

I say with my cheeks red, looking away from him.

Frances chuckles and closes the door behind him.
